Q&A with Eli Sasich
How long did your project take to create, from conception to final completion?
‘Watcher’ took approximately six months to create.
Where did your inspiration come from?
The inspiration for the film came from the classic monster in the closet story. I wanted to tell this tale on screen, and actually explain where the monster came from.
Is Horror or Sci-Fi your primary creative interest?
Horror is not necessarily my primary creative interest. I love scary movies, but I’ll travel to whatever genre a good story takes me.
Can you describe a typical day in the process of creating your film?
A typical day in making a film involves a lot of coffee, focus and energy
Who do you consider to be the greatest horror writer?
I have been reading Joe R. Lansdale recently.
Can you recall the first horror film that left a lasting impression on you?
Well, I’m terrified of werewolves – but I would have to say that ‘Halloween’ was the first horror film that left a lasting impression on me (aka no sleep).
Who do you consider to be the greatest 'Masters of Horror'?
Classic Tobe Hooper and John Carpenter.
How many participants comprised your crew?
Our crew consisted of around 20 people.
How many castmembers?
Our cast was made up of six very talented actors, and one dog.
How did you find your cast?
We found our cast using the good old-fashion auditioning process.
Did you re-edit your film after the first cut?
The film went through the normal editing process, consisting of several re-edits to mold the final piece. However, the submitted film is the ‘final’ version.
Did you shoot on film or with digital cameras?
We shot ‘Watcher’ on 35mm film.
If you could choose any famous actors to work with on future projects, who would they be?
This is a tough question. I would choose the actors who would fit the roles.
