CQ17 Interview: BLOOD CAR

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

I met Alex Orr (Director/writer/producer), Adam Pinney (dp/editor/writer/producer), Tony Holley (producer), Katie Rowlett (plays Denise) and Mike Bruni (plays Archie) at CineQuest 17.

Though these guys look totally normal, the film they produced seriously challenges that assumption. Made in Atlanta, the film is being courted by some distributors and reps and it’s my personal mission to tell the world about its bizarrely fascinating depravity.

CQ17 Interview: URBAN EXPLORERS

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Seth, one of the explorers featured in Melody’s doc, joins us a few minutes in to talk about life after the film and why the he compulsively trolls derelict buildings. Due to some theatre issues Melody was required to handle, we had to halt the interview for an unspecified amount of time. Part 2 is short but still worth the time. I’d quote it anyway.

I grabbed the filmmakers and the star of URBAN EXPLORERS during a screening of their doc at CineQuest 17.

CQ17 Interviews: THE DOORMAN

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Boy was Lucas Akoskin popular after the premier of his film The Doorman at CineQuest 17: you’ll notice fans interrupted us mid-interview. Lucas played Trevor W. the title character. I sometimes think when I interview first time filmmakers (especially if their work is good) that the piece could be looked upon later as “the first interview of the artist’s great career.” This interview gave me one of those “first of” feelings. Yes, he is that handsome in person.

As far as the director Wayne Price and the producer Brian Devine are concerned, they’re equally wonderful! They’re beguiling, and clever, and funny. This film is slated for a theatrical run in early Fall and I promise I’ll be telling you about it out from the rooftops.I grabbed the filmmakers and the star of The Doorman during their premier after-party at The Paragon.

I should mention: generally speaking I labor over my interview questions, but when you’re interviewing at a festival you seldom have the chance to do such homework. That said this podcast is imperfect. Expect a few awkward pauses and moments of faltering speech.
