Q&A with Toby Gorman
How long did your project take to create, from conception to final completion?
We had the film shot about 3 weeks after we wrote the script. Post production took a little longer, due to difficulties in finding the right music.
Where did your inspiration come from?
We wanted to write something that took place within one location, and came up with the idea of some kind of doctors office, but we both decided it should be no ordinary doctors office...
Is Horror or Sci-Fi your primary creative interest?
Its certainly up there. I love being able to take things on a detour away from the normal.
Can you describe a typical day in the creative process?
Arguments, laughs, arguments.
Who do you consider to be the greatest horror writer?
Its almost a cliche, but when he's on form, and there is a lot of off-form stuff to wade through, Stephen King.
Can you recall the first horror film that left a lasting impression on you?
Day of the Dead.
Who do you consider to be the greatest 'Master of Horror'?
Tobe Hooper's original Texas Chainsaw Massacre still does it for me, as does Kubrick's The Shining, though whether that qualifies them as masters of horror I don't know. Lynch seems to consistently mine the dark depths of the psyche.
How did you find your cast?
Through our friend, a great a actor and casting director, Simone Bailey.
What is you most memorable moment while making your film?
Finding the dog.
Can you describe the focus of your editing process?
Yes, we chopped it down to try and keep it moving along.
Did you shoot on film or with digital cameras?
16mm film.
How many members of your cast and crew?
Three castmembers, ten people in the crew.
If you could choose any famous actors to work with on future projects, who would they be?
The right ones for the part!
