I was interested and a little in apprehension. I think it’s very important to laugh about Tiziano’s errors because if you feel guilty to laugh about it it’s because you feel a kind of distance from him and your thought is something like “poor thing, I feel sorry for him and his condition, so I shouldn’t laugh about it”; instead, Daniele taught me that equality goes from here too, you can laugh as long as you can see and appreciate the efforts.

Interview with filmmaker Hani Eskander (OH MY OH AGAMI)
Here are actual people, physically there, physically commenting and reacting to something I had created earlier at home, almost alone. I loved what most had to say and I cannot descrivbe how happy it makes any filmmaker I’m sure, to watch audience feeling and reacting to the film he/she helped create. It’s a very reassuring feeling… that film is powerful… it DOES transcend space and time and gets a message and an emotion through very well.
Interview with Screenwriter Bruna Rubio (VAMPIRAS)
I love the first girl totally got my original idea of Vampiras been a TV series 🙂 The porn part was also funny. ..you have to understand that Spanish TV it’s always a little cheese lol .Also that was my intention … to have the old school vampire formula… of dark comedy mixed with surprises and a little bit of sexy.
Interview with filmmaker Sam Brewster (Misstep)
I really appreciated the empathy that the audience had with the morality of the tale, so I’m glad that I got that across in the film. It’s by far my least divisive story, so I think it is more palatable than some of my other shorts, where the protagonist rarely learns a lesson.

Interview with George Pogatsia, filmmaker/actor “Family on Board”
Thankfully, everyone responded well to the script. Tony Sirico & I have the same manager, he absolutely loves the film, he’s very proud of it. Eric Roberts signed on almost immediately after reading it, he thinks the sky is the limit. Karina Arroyave auditioned & blew everyone away. She a huge supporter, she thinks it’s amazing. I’m sad to say that Matthew Cowles never got a chance to see it, but his wife Christine Baranski thinks it’s beautiful.

As with anything I make, I went into the feedback cringing, but as soon as people started talking, I became overjoyed. It was really positive and really appreciated! I’d have been way harder on it myself, but then I tend to be hypercritical of anything I make…
