1. What was the fisrt thing (movie wise ) you have ever done?
The first thing I've ever done with film was actually The Hog. I've always wanted to make horror movies and one day I was talking to a former CMKM member Chris Hinton and I told him about always wanting to do something like this, he told me that he had a camera and I was a good writer... Then The Hog happened.
2. Do you like horror, zombie, monster, films the most?
All of those things are horror and I truly love them all. If I had to like a certain genre of horror the most it'd be anything dealing with a supernatural aspect.
3. What made you decide to become a directer?
I wanted to make good horror, I was sick of all the Korean horror films that were coming out and all of the remakes, I will say some of the remakes are good but there needed to be fresh ideas so I decided to start writing and who else could get my ideas on screen just how I imagined them other then me?
4. How did you become involved with the horror genre?
I've always liked horror, it's always been something I've wanted to do. It first started with short stories which received some pretty heavy acclaim, people compared my writing to Clive Barker and Stephen King. I was blown away by the response, really.
5. What is the first script you have ever written & what was it about?
I can't go too deep into this as it's still something I plan on doing one day but I will tell you it was a slasher film, well, kind of.
6. How do you begin a script?
I never start a script until I have at least 50% of it all planned out in my head. It all starts with an idea.
7. What is some of the processes involved in making a short film come to life?
With the most recent one the process was huge and long. It obviously began with the forming of the idea and then the writing of the screenplay. Then I moved onto getting the main cast and crew first, once I had that locked in then I had to get a permit to shut down an entire city street that night of filming... then we had to get all of the zombies for that big scene near the end of the movie.
8. Who are some of the people you have worked with in the past?
It's all been CatchMeKillMe, everyone you see in the past films has something to do with the current films. At this point I haven't really had to reach out to work with anyone else.
9. How many films have you worked on so far?
I've done three films and we're currently going into our fourth, which will also be our longest.
10.How did the name CatchMeKillMeProductions come to be?
I have no idea, honestly. We were kicking around production company names and I said something like, "What do slashers want to do? Catch me and kill me..." I just dropped the "and" and pushed the words together and there you have it.
The following Questions are about the short film "The Day The World Went Away"
11. What inspired you to come up with idea for this short film?
The bond between a parent and their child and how most parents would really go to the ends of the earth to protect their child. I just needed a never-ending onslaught of horror for the Trent character to face in the movie so I chose the zombie apocalypse.
12. How long did it take to write the script?
It took me just around 2 days, that includes script editing. It's a relatively short script so it didn't take too long.
13. What is the process of searching for the right actor/actress combination for this particular script?
They needed to be able display a lot of heart in their performance.
14. Who choreographed the fight sequences with the zombies?
The actor who played Roland, Charles Messenger did a lot of work as we were filming, really trying to get that scene to come off well in the movie.
15. Why was then scene cut where he smashed the zombie head in?
Originally the scene was to cut right before I made contact with the zombies head, the editor said it didn't flow well with the rest of the movie so he cut it out.
16. Who did the great make up work on the film?
Charles Messenger, Jennifer Kelly, Bill Messenger, Veronica Grosinsky, and Dan Koesser. Without these guys and their amazing talent our zombies would've been pretty lame!
17. What are some of your majore influences when writng a script or directing a film like this?
My influence when it comes to filmmaking is Adam Green, absolutely.
18. What made you decide to focus on the story more than fighting w/ zombies?
I wanted to show that a zombie movie could have heart, I mean, people just always think these movies are about eating brains and blowing off dead peoples heads. I wanted to go deeper then that.
19. What are some ideas for possible projects in the future?
Well, I guess this would be the place to announce it, we're actually currently working on a few things right now. Up first, fans should expect a director's cut of "The Day The World Went Away" and then we're going into "The Afflicted" which is going to be a lot different then everything else we've done so far. "The Afflicted" will also be our longest film to date, running somewhere around thirty minutes.
