Interview with Filmmaker Hojin Kim (BURGLAR)

This Irish oil painter had boyfriend named George Dyer. Bacon first met Dyer in 1964 when he broke into his apartment. The portrait of George Dyer was the first motivation to make the Burglar.

Interview with Filmmaker William Mussini (F**KING WORLD)

The short film F**KING WORLD is a must see 1 minute blast. It hits on a lot of emotions that many of us are feelings, plus it’s really funny. William Mussini’s film played to rave reviews at the WILDsound FEEDBACK January 2016 Film Festival.

Interview with filmmaker Jordan Inconstant (YO SOY PEDRO)

I was very surprised! There is no other festival that offers this, it’s great! To see the public reaction and to take part in the festival. There was a little debate about the fact that the film was shot in French while the atmosphere is American, it was interesting. This has pleased all the film crew, Sylvain Ott, composer joins me in thanking you for the price of the best music.

Interview with Animator Matt Burniston (The Mega Plush – Winner Best Film January 2016 Film Festival)

I loved it. It was a totally new experience for me. I’ve obviously shown the film to a lot of friends and people I meet, and it is great to see their reaction as they watch the film. But having people who know about film talk about and comment on your work is something very different. The fact that the audience picked up on some of the small details about the characters & story line gives me a renewed devotion to finish up the series.

Interview with Music Editor/Composer John M. Davis (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies)

Not really. Music is something I’ve always done. I was arranging for bands and choirs from junior high on. I went to NYU film school with the intention of becoming a director or screenwriter, but over time I discovered that my musical abilities were more unique and more marketable.

Interview with Filmmaker Francesco Faralli (LIKE IN THE MOVIES)

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 Oscar Nominated Production Designer Michael Corenblith (Apollo 13, The Blind Side)
