Q&A with Daniel Potts
How long did your screenplay take to write, from conception to final completion?
Ten months.
Where did your inspiration come from?
A miserably hot summer when I was living a nocturnal lifestyle.
Are Horror or Sci-Fi your main creative interests?
Horror.
Can you describe a typical day in the process of creating your film or screenplay?
I play computer games, sweat in my hot apartment, watch the world going to hell on the national newscast, listen to some music, and then write a scene or two.
Who do you consider to be the greatest horror writer?
Edgar Allen Poe.
Can you recall the first horror film that left a lasting impression on you?
Poltergeist.
Who do you consider to be the greatest 'Masters of Horror'?
Edgar Allen Poe, Sam Raimi, Wes Craven.
Do you currently have any attachments and/or a cast wishlist for your screenplay?
No attachments yet.
Who do you see directing your screenplay?
James Mangold, because he's consistently amazing and he did such a great job with the slasher film, "Identity."
How many edits has your screenplay gone through?
This is draft six.
Was this your first screenplay?
If so, are you inspired to write another?
No, this is my third feature-length screenplay. I wrote it because I haven't seen a good vampire movie since Anne Rice's "Interview With The Vampire" in 1994.
