|
| How
long did your screenplay
take to write, from conception
to final completion? |
| I
came up with the story 20
years ago. I wrote the script
15 years ago. Gave it the
final touches in June. So
a long time is my answer.
Considering it only took
10 years to go to the moon. |
|
| Where
did your inspiration come
from? |
| From
that old theatrical phrase,
"There are no bit parts..." |
|
| Are
Horror and Sci-Fi your main
creative interests? |
| Actually
it's horrible sci-fi. |
|
| Can
you describe a typical day
in the process of creating
your film or screenplay? |
| I
stare at the computer screen,
write something, then stare
some more. I'll pace a bit,
throw some water on my face.
I'll think about going out
to get some food, decide
not to, then take a nap. |
|
| Who
do you consider to be the
greatest horror writer? |
| Martha
Stewart. |
|
| Can
you recall the first horror
film that left a lasting
impression on you? |
| "The
House On Haunted Hill."
I still can't really talk
about it |
|
| Who
do you consider to be the
greatest 'Masters of Horror'? |
| The
Current Administration.
|
|
| Do
you currently have any attachments
and/or a cast wishlist for
your screenplay? |
| I
would just love to see it
made. Odds aren't good,
then again, who knows? It
would just be so great to
see it somewhere else, outside
of my head. |
|
| Who
do you see directing your
screenplay and why? |
| Peter
Jackson!!! He's the only
one who could actually get
it done. For me, it's not
Obi-Wan but Jackson that
is my only hope. |
|
| How
many edits has your screenplay
gone through? |
| A
gaggoogle. |
|
Was
this your first screenplay?
If so, are you inspired
to write another? |
| It
was actually. It's hard
to get people to read your
stuff so there's no way
to tell if what your writing
is any good so getting to
the finals of Shriekfest
is hugely encouraging. I
hope there's much more to
come. |
