Many people enter the film industry through a family member or friend. In your case, how did you enter the film industry?

I enter the film industry by my own Accord,  I want to see my work on screen and on the bigscreen someday.

 

Why did you decide to make movies?

I never decided to make movies, but the movies choose me to make them from birth. I have always wrote and dream of being an artista since a child. 

 

Tell us about your project, why did you start it and how did it come about?

My last project “Blueberry Pie” was inspired for the love I had for a beautiful woman to me at that time. (Brittany Lockley) She like a couple of my works so I wanted to make that video for her to see.

 

Had you previously been in another project? How was your experience?

I have been in several film festival and have won other awards. My experience have always been a Good in the festivals if I did not win.

 

The best and the worst of this project is…

The best part is the love for art and just creating the film or films. Everything I créate there is always a flaw in my eyes, wether because of the equipment not good, down to my voice in the video. I stride for perfectionin everything I do, but nothing is completely perfect.

 

If you could go back intime, would you change anything about filming or pre-production?

I wouldn’t change a thing because I truly love who I am and my art work I produced. Acourse I would love to créate a better film from my writings.  I love to créate for the entertainment  of the people in the world. I can’t change who I am and who I am shows in my work.

 

What do you expect from festivals for your project?

I expect and respect the film festival honoring my work and giving my work exposure to the world. I also expect that the film festivals can help me reach my goals to be a better writer and director/producer.

 

Do you have experience in film festivals, how has your experience been? 

I do have experience in the festival and my experience have always been different but good experience. But I only have experience one film festival in my home town and I did not win.

 

Many of the projects we receive are self-financed, without any producer behind them, which makes all the processes very difficult. Can you tell us what the pre-production process was? Did you do it, did they help you?

I created all my work  alone through a platform called Firefox with penny funding from the prodcuer(self). Some of my films are short and some are long hou, but with that said, many of long hours of my swaet and blood has went into each video. Some films taking me hours or even days to weeks too complete, to one minute and on…. It isa ll about how many cuts in the scenes and other attributes that need to be added.

 

And your film preferences? What do you look at in a movie? Acting, direction, production, cinematography, soundtrack etc…

In a movie I look at the whole musical play as a whole. Meaning I look at everything becauste in my opion to make a good film, everything has to work in harmony to come together to be a good film.

 

Your three favorite movies?

The Last Dragon, Excalibur, Dune (Original). But I have other movies that I am a huge fan of. These three films I just watch over and over again throught the years.

 

And your directors?

I am certainly a fan of the directors who have created my top three favorite movies. There is a lot of good directors in the industry and some of their movies I like and some  not so much. But, with that said my favorite director would be the one who wants to work with me.

 

Can you recommend us an independent movie that you wouldn't recommend to everyone?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles .

 

And the reason for this choice?

A classic independent film that everyone wouldn’t watch but made a lot o f money for being different and unique. Bringing a different flavor to the film industry. 

 

And to finish, tell us three movies that you hate but that most people like.

I would not say I hate the films, but was not a fan of the first Blair Witch Project, but others love it. Sausage Party was another film I was not a huge fan of and other love it. The third movies would have to be the last Freddie remake, I am a huge fan, but that one I was not really into. I supported the film, but I did not think it live up to the other films in the past.
