What is your specialty: filmmaking or screenwriting? If filmmaking, which aspects?

I start with a white computer-screen, rub that movie magic mind, find cool people that like what wrote. Get some cash, book some soldiers and we go out to war. I come back, beaten and tired and start to put it together. After the agony of post is over we release it to the world to know if it’s any good.

What are you currently working on?

feature film about Bearhunters in Alaska in the 90-s. Jaws meets Stranger Things.

Who do you consider your mentor and why?

Richy Salvatore, done 3 Deniro movies and has good advice.

Why do you think the horror/sci-fi genres have such a large following?

It’s magic, escapeism, beyond our dreams. That’s cool stuff, man. What’s not to like?

What do you love most about this business?

The time we get to a scene and something unexpected happens and we all look at each other and know we just created something that was way cooler than what we planned.

What do you dislike most about this business?

The wait for money.

What career accomplishment are you most proud of?

Fear of the Woods as a film highlight.
Having my film nr1 on Netflix as a career highlight

Any advice you'd like to give to newbies?

Finish your damn movie even if it didn’t turn out the way you wanted or nobody will want to work with you again.
