julien temple is an english filmmaker and music video director who began his career directing the sex pistols documentary the great rock ‘n’ roll swindle ( 1979 ) .
one of the most visually distinctive filmmakers to emerge from the french national film school , julien attracted international attention with his short student film , ' the all - new adventures of chastity blade ' , which garnered him an academy award nomination in 2001 and marked him as one of france ' s rising talents . julien ' s micro - budget debut feature . . .
born in london , england , on november 26 , 1953 , julien temple showed little interest in film throughout much of his childhood . a troubled student who didn & apos ; t always fit in at school , temple was enrolled at king & apos ; s college , cambridge , when he discovered french filmmaker jean vigo .
born in london , england , in 1953 , julien temple was in his teens when he discovered his love for films and filmmaking . he cut his teeth shooting footage of the sex pistols early in the band & apos ; s run , and later directed the landmark pistols documentary the great rock ‘n’ roll swindle . in the 1980s he became a noted music video director . he & apos ; s also directed several other full - length feature films .
i’ve been putting on shows and playing characters since i was a kid . i got my first taste for the stage in 6th grade when i played huck in the stage play
when i realized i could make a whole room of people laugh by “playing pretend” on stage i knew that this is what i wanted to do for a living .
and thought that the dollar baby program was an awesome idea . i immediately submitted to audition .
i think it is the tension the audience feels as they watch the story unfold . it is very dark and controversial , but ends with the good guy getting the bad guy , which is what we all want . 😉
( director ) had actors chose a scene or monologue from a stephen king screenplay and i was thrilled to have my choice in the matter . i chose the final scene in
max is a young director who clearly worked hard to make this production happen . i was impressed by his vision and his patience in working with everyone on set .
the actor who played the young boy never ran out of energy . he was running around all day , having fun , being a kid . but the moment we got the shot ready and max called “action , ” he was a professional actor who hit all his lines every time ! honestly , he knew his lines better than i did !
erin grote was on sound for the production and we still keep in touch . i’ve also talked with max through email .
i am currently involved in a large project with a production company i help manage called wadworth productions . it is a web series called
. it’s a comedy that follows the story lines of characters working in the service industry .
sksm : thanks for taking the time to answer my questions . is there anything you want to say to the fans that read this interview ?
my name is jackie perez and i love horror . i’m first and foremost a screenwriter and direct whenever i get the chance . i lived in los angeles for the past 5 years , but i just moved around the world to bahrain which has been quite the change ! i used to be a nuclear engineer in the navy before i discovered my passion for screenwriting . i love writing genre features and had my first contest win last year at
. i also work remotely as a grants manager for stem , creative , and veteran non - profits .
movies had always been my escape growing up but it wasn’t until i was studying at mit for undergrad that i realized filmmaking was an actual career option . of course by then i was already well underway into an environmental engineering degree . i heard eli roth speak at a preview screening of
in late 2005 and he answered a question from an audience member about the necessity of going to film school to “make it . ” roth answered that it didn’t make a difference if you went to film school or not , that the difference was hard work and perseverance , that he graduated with an entire class of wannabe filmmakers but he was there with a movie on the big screen because he did the crappy jobs , got experience , and kept at it . i was hooked . i was self - taught and wrote and directed three short films before graduation . when i got out of the navy , my first stop was hollywood .
i’d been developing the script for over a year but things kept getting in the way of nailing down production dates like grad school finals and wedding planning . once the honeymoon was over , the holidays hit and by the time 2018 rolled around it was now or never because i had the big overseas move looming on the horizon . my producer brian campeau ( oneninth media ) and i set a date and the train started moving .
it turns out we were incredibly lucky with the date we chose to shoot on location at the glamis sand dunes . the day before it was extremely windy and no good for drone shots , and the day after the temperature jumped into the mid - 90s and it would have been way too hot . i was really worried because we were shooting around spring break and didn’t know how tracked up the dunes would be from buggies , but we caught the perfect day in late march . it was still hot , but wind was manageable , the alexa camera didn’t get damaged from any sand , and no one got sun burned or passed out . the camera kept shutting down so we lost almost an hour switching out batteries until we figured out a fix . our dp sarah phillips did an amazing job .
we shot one day on location on the glamis sand dunes and finished up with two days at pollution studios in los angeles . as for cost , it was the biggest budget i’ve ever worked with which was awesome , but we were stuffing 20 lbs of film in a 10 lb bag so there were plenty of challenges to overcome , favors to ask , and incredibly talented people who worked for way below their normal rates .
because of my proximity to the largest dunes in ca . it was a tough love decision because
is my favorite king short story but the snowy setting was something i didn’t want to compromise on and it’s so much trickier working with child actors because of union rules .
when i first read the story , i was drawn to the isolation theme . my longest time out to sea when i was in the navy was 84 days in between port calls on deployment . when you are crossing the pacific ocean without a ship in sight or on radar , the empty vastness is both serene and terrifying . i was wrapping up my mfa and i had never written an adaptation but i knew i wanted to put my personal stamp on the story . there are quite a few changes that were made for either creative and budgetary reasons and as a huge horror fan , i had to make it bloody .
it took me quite some time to figure out how i wanted to approach the story , but once i made a specific character decision , a lightbulb went off and everything else clicked into place . i’m really excited to hear what people think , especially those who are familiar with the source material because i wrote a very different ending ,
and i was like “what ? tell me everything ! ” i was actually angry with myself for not knowing about dollar babies being such a big fan and all , but the timing was perfect because i wouldn’t have been ready as a filmmaker if i had tried to make this earlier and the final product just wouldn’t have been as good . i sent in my pitch with some of the changes i wanted to make and got the ok . i think it’s such an amazing way to give back to the emerging film community and i am forever thankful for the opportunity .
really the most special part about it was being able to come together with my friends to make something i loved and have them all supporting me and bringing my vision to life . it was extremely bittersweet knowing i’d be moving but so many of my friendships deepened because of this project and i just feel so lucky to have found those friendships in the first place during my time in los angeles .
my goal is to get it out to as many stephen king and horror / sci - fi fans as possible within the boundaries of the option contract . we’ll definitely share a trailer ( our teaser is out ) and with a strong festival showing i’m hoping a lot of fans get to watch . everyone who is interested can sign up for updates on our website and we’ll keep them updated on when / how / where they can watch .
so far so good ! we’re really close to locking picture and still have to finish sound design , music , and vfx so hardly anyone outside of the production has seen it but the feedback has been really positive , especially with respect to the final scene .
we haven’t started submitting it to festivals yet since we’re still in post - production , but i would love to see it screen at screamfest this year . last year i was on my honeymoon in new zealand during the festival when i found out i won an award . i mean , the honeymoon was great and all but i was so bummed to miss out on the fest ! it’d be great to fly back and experience it with the cast and crew of
since they are all in la . another film festival i’d love to have it screen at is citizen jane which is all about achieving gender parity in film and telling womens’ stories . there are so many amazing female - forward and genre film festivals we want to submit to ! we’ll share festival and screening updates on our facebook page and website .
. kathy bates is magnificent and it’s one of the rare books that you can read back to back with the film and still cringe even knowing what is coming next . i would have expected nothing less from william goldman adapting .
my all - time favorite king book is the girl who loved tom gordon . i’d love to get mr . king’s permission to adapt that into a screenplay , moving from the isolation of beachworld to the isolation of the maine woods . the stories i write explore the choices we make and the people we become when shit hits the fan . we either step up , shut down , or go insane . the story of survival against the odds is one of pure human instinct . resilience against fear and the unknown is universal .
i do have to mention this : only 2 of the almost 71 feature film adaptations of king’s works credit women as writers ( co - writers ) . i want to be the one that turns that dismal 3 % stat to a slightly less dismal 4 % and watch it go up and up from there . i want to also point out only 2 adapted features have been directed by women . it was inspiring seeing bridget carpenter helm 11 . 22 . 63 but i don’t think i have to run through the rest of the television stats and the adaptations and remakes in development to prove that women are grossly underrepresented in the king to film and tv world . which is quite disheartening for me because he writes such amazing , complex women . i hope he’ll consider my pitch to adapt trisha mcfarland’s story for the big screen and i hope hollywood starts hiring more women to lead these projects .
no , but i’ll be taping a special message to go with the film when i send it to him .
which is inspired by the mexican legend of the lechuza , an ancient shape - shifting woman that has sold her soul to satan in exchange for dark magical powers . the proof of concept short script was a semi - finalist in the
people are always surprised by the whole mit / nuclear engineer to horror screenwriter career shift . what can i say , i dream big .
well , my name is andrew olszewski and i am a filmmaker ! i specialize in video editing and producing . i recently graduated from
, in chicago illinois with a bfa in film and television with a concentration in editing .
sksm : in addition to playing a role in this film you were the producer and the editor . what was more difficult to do ?
the hardest part in my opinion is producing . that involves so much planning and communication that it can be overwhelming if you don’t plan every single aspect of the film . editing is almost second nature to me , so i would say producing and the pre - production was the most difficult part of the film .
my acting role in this film was pretty minimal ( i was a thug throwing some kicks at the beginning ) but i have been acting in other films and shows for a while now . i always just thought acting was fun , and over the past year i have taken it a little more seriously .
my buddy max ( director ) and i had been wanting to make a larger scale film for a while now and he came across this program . we thought it was a no brainer to see what we could do with this opportunity !
i think the weirdness of it all is what attracts people . stephen king has a way of making an audience become engaged from the very beginning . also , because it is stephen king , a viewer already knows that there is going to be a weird twist at the end !
i sort of fell into the small part i had . instead of making it a huge deal and casting a thug , we decided i could fill the part easily enough .
max and i have been great friends since the beginning of college . we have a great friendship and work very well together . we have made many films together and so far and this was the biggest production to date . he is a great director and knows how to capture the moment of each and every scene .
well , every production has its funny moments , i think the behind the scenes video captures some of that , but overall the entire production was a great experience .
most everyone involved i still have at least some contact with . whether that be simply friends on facebook or friends in real life . noah sliwa was actually an old buddy from michigan that made the trip to chicago to film and help out on set , so that was pretty cool !
max and i are currently in post production on another film . it is called “
” and explores some pretty heavy topics . we are really excited to finish the film and send it out to some film festivals , and hopefully leave an impact on viewers .
i would say it is hard to not be a fan ! he has an amazing way to craft a story and keep a viewer on their toes . i think everyone can learn something after reading / watching a story stephen king has made .
i love sports ! though i sit behind a computer most my days i make sure to stay active and shoot hoops when i can . also , i have a youtube channel with almost 10 million views !
he played in viktor hernandez ’s dollar baby one for the road as booth .
my name is robert l . edwards , i am orinally from emporia , va . i currently reside in the great charlotte , nc . i have been living in this area for 8 years . my primary occupation is a collage profesor and director of bands in addition to being an actor , i am a doctoral student pursing a doctoal degree in education and leadership . one of my strongest quilities in music is composition and arranging for bands . i am also an advocate for the performing and visual arts , especially for children and teens . i believe that the performing and visiual arts can help develop soft skills and prepare students for their profession no matter their focus .
i wanted to become an actor since high school , but it was only a thought in the back of my head until 3 years ago . my insecurities prevented me from pursuing acting earlier in my life . music has always been my main focus until now .
for startes it’s a story by stephen king , even people that don’t like horror movies love stephen king , i’m gussing because he writes for different genres . i believe that people are attacted to this story because it takes place in the same universe as his movie
” back in 1931 . since then people have always been attracted to these types of movies . i could go deeper but my statement would be longer .
i auditioned for the role of booth . i was so excited that viktor decided to cast me for this project . when he told me that i was booked , i was so excited to be apart of a film connected to stephen king .
viktor is a great director , i learned so much from him and his directing leadership . he knows what he want and how to communicate his vision . he is a very humble and profesional guy . once i found out about his previous works and found out that he is also a great actor i was so excited and he did not disappoint my expecations of him as a director .
yep , trying to avoid stepping in dog poop while on set at 1 am in the moring .
i do keep in contact with the other two actors jacqueline dorry and ligia pressley via social media from time to time . i really enjoyed working with them on this project , they are great actresses .
i am working on two other film projects at the momento and auditioning others projects . i am also working on a film myself which i hope to start sometime by the end of this year in addition to a pilot for a reality show with an up and coming actress maritalyn frazier . my goal at this point is to conitue my acting classes , build my acting brand as well as my acting resume , and learn more about this industry .
i’m a fan , lord yes ! i have been a fan since i was a kid . i use to read stephen king’s books and watched all his movies when i was younger . i’ve been a fan since i first saw the move
back in 1989 . stephen king can do no wrong in my eyes . i hope that i will be able to meet and work with him one day .
i believe my decisión to pursue acting over music at this point in my life surpised a lot of family and friend . i believe that people would be more surprised that acting is a stress reliever it helps me to escape my life and live the life of someone else .
please support this project by watching and sharing once it has been released . i believe that the cast , myself , carmen the writer , and viktor’s interptation of this story will not disappoint you .
i am so grateful that viktor gave me the opportunity to be apart of his project and that i wish him and the other cast and crew member all the best in their future pursuits . i would like to also thank you for offering me this interview opportunity .
in chicago . i got my degree in film producing and am looking to move to los angeles in the next few months to continue my career there . although my degree isn’t focused on anything in particular , in my time at college i’ve found myself more often than not at least doing the directing or cinematography for the work i’m involved in , if not both .
i’ve loved movies ever since i was a little kid . i definitely grew up in a family that gave me a much greater appreciation for what film can be than i think most kids are privileged with and i’ve been obsessed with the idea of creating my own movies for probably more than half my life .
our producer and i read through all of the stories that are available for the dollar babies program and then narrowed it down between a few that we really wanted to adapt . from there it was mostly a matter of practicality ; which story did we think we could most reasonably adapt given that we are going to be working with a very small budget ?
was the natural cross - section of feasibility and our own personal desires . plus , i like vampires a lot .
i began reading king’s work avidly back in spring of 2017 , and while i was browsing a forum for fans of his stories , i found a thread talking about the dollar baby program . i was honestly completely dumbfounded that such an amazing program could be real . it didn’t seem possible that such a great opportunity could be missed by so many other students . i still haven’t met anyone in film school who knew about this program before hearing about our work on
not a particular moment , but i just wanted to give special thanks to one of crew members , noah sliwa . he was a friend of our producer’s , and while he’s not actually involved in the film industry at all , he just wanted to help out on set because he likes movies a lot . i didn’t know exactly what to expect out of him but he unbelievably helpful for us , and i genuinely don’t know that we would have been able to make the movie turn out as well as it did without him . if every set was full of noah’s then every movie would be great . or at least better .
as part of the stipulations for the dollar babies contract , the film is not allowed to be listed online publicly in its entirely . only 2 minutes of footage can be shown at most . as a result we’ve had to keep the film hidden behind a password - protected link , which is unfortunate for all the people who may want to see it , but i do understand the importance of king protecting his properties . what he is doing already is far beyond what most writers would ever dream of doing i think . hopefully one day we can show it to everyone . i’d love to see all the other dollar babies films out there as well .
everyone at home who donated seems very happy with it from what i can tell . i’m hoping it stays that way !
we’re hoping to get into some , but no , there aren’t any particular festivals we have in mind . we’re still in the early stages of submitting it , we just want to keep our options open and expectations realistic .
absolutely ! i’ve read nearly twenty of his books in 2017 alone . so far i’d have to say that
only insofar as securing the contract . i actually just sent a dvd of the finished film to his estate a day ago , so i’m hoping we’ll get to hear his thoughts on it personally !
, but it looks like amazon may have beaten me to the punch in that regard .
that you can find on my vimeo page pretty soon . we’d like to collaborate on one or two more projects over the summer before i move out to los angeles , but really we have no concrete plans as of now .
he played in joseph horning ’s dollar baby one for the road as booth .
well , in a word , i’m an actor . i tend to play age - appropriate roles ( read “old” ) for either an angry , funny , cranky , or homeless old man . most of the time i’m a supporting character , rather than a lead character . i consider myself a character actor .
i guess i really didn’t… until i became one . i spent most of my life as and engineer and high school teacher . then one summer , a film company from new york was shooting a feature film in my hometown ( a film called “
” ) and they needed extras . i had nothing else to do that summer , so i joined the production . literally fell in love with it the first day on set . i continued doing extra work on weekends until i retired a few years later…then i started acting full - time .
, the producer - director for a while . i answered a casting call on “backstage” and went in for the audition . i loved the story , loved the character , and joseph gave me the part . it was really that simple .
oh , it’s the vampires…lol . i mean , we’ve all read and perhaps seen the story of salem’s lot . well , imagine going back to visit that área after 30 years . humans have long since stayed away from there… that is , until this unsuspecting family gets off the highway and ends up stuck in the middle of it all . who among us hasn’t wondered how we’d react to an incomprehensible , unbelievable situation that threatens us and our loved ones . how far would we go ? how much would we sacrifice ? would we survive ?
and besides that , it’s stephen king… i know i love stephen king . i assume other fans of this story do too .
no , even though i knew the producer - director , i was still required to audition . but i really wanted this role . so , i studied hard for that audition . and i gave it my best . i guess my best was good enough , because he gave me the role .
it was really amazing . we worked long hours in some tough conditions , but joseph kept cool and collected through it all . it really helps when the person in charge doesn’t get fazed and frazzeled when things go wrong… because on a movie set , things always go wrong .
the story takes place in one winter’s night…much of it outside . so we shot in northern pennsylvania , at night , along an abandoned bridge and road , in the middle of winter . one night we shot until 3 : 30 am and it was around 9 degrees ( f , about - 12 degrees celsius ) . we were cold . we were shivering . there was snow on the ground . but we were stoked . it was that kind of set .
much of our film is set in an abandoned “salem’s lot” , 30 years after the original story . one night we were shooting along an abandoned road and we really had no facilities available . so the producer had a production assistant with a car available to run us up to a store with a restroom when we needed . that night we had several extras as vampires and while we were all warned to make the trip before we got in makeup and costume , one young lady tried to wait but had to go to the restroom after all her vampire makeup was on . well , someone noticed and called the pólice , thinking maybe she was hurt or had been assaulted .
pretty soon we had a couple of pólice cars on our set to check out what was going on . they actually were very nice and seemed more interested in watching us work . not many films are shot in that área , so they hung around for a while . but it was a little disconcerting when it’s after midnight and the pólice show up in the middle of a field . lol .
actually , i do stay in touch with joseph , with our makeup artists , with chris wagler , one of our producers , and eric slodysko , one of the lead actors . i see others from the production from time to time , too . and we have some upcoming social events and promotional events that will get many of us back together .
” where i am the lead . i also have several other projects starting in july and august , including “
” , a faith - based film from a california production company . i’m very fortunate to be working several projects and will be busy for most of the summer .
i love stephen king . i’ve read most everything he has written and as i told joseph when he gave me the role , i was honored to be performing mr . king’s own words . life just doesn’t get much better than that .
perhaps the most surprising thing is that i started acting later in life . most of my life i was a computer engineer and then a high school math teacher . after retiring from teaching i took up acting . my third career… and my most satisfying .
first i want to thank all fans of film , especially those who take the time to watch indie film . without you , our work would all be in vain . we do this for you . yes , we enjoy what we do , but most of all we love to see the fans of our films enjoy our efforts . you make it all worth while . i hope all the fans get to see our film .
only that i want to thank you and the dollar baby film festival for giving me this opportunity . i hope you get to see our film and i hope you enjoy it . and , of course , a big “thank you” to stephen king… for the stories… for the dollar baby project… and for giving us a life time of fun and fear… he’s truly an artist .
as far back as i remember i always wanted to try acting due to being a fan of film growing up , but i was a shy child growing up . when i went to university i became involved with the
society ( gust ) which give me opportunities to appear on screen , which helped me get comfortable in front of the camera .
’s meetings and i liked the idea . afterwards i talked to landon to ask if he needed any help with the project , which opened the door for my involvement .
are relatable and there is a sense of romance involved with a loved one watching over you from the afterlife . also , it’s a stephen king adaptation and the man writing is incredible , always worth seeing his adaptations .
someone in the crew suggested to landon about auditioning me the part of bill , i originally came on board to help behind the scenes , however i agreed to read for the part and landon then offered me the role .
it was a great experience , landon had a lot of great ideas and he made the cast and crew feel very welcomed during the production of the film .
, luss which was north of glasgow and the location was beautiful . when i had arrived , landon informed me that there was a slight change in the script and that i would have to sing . as much as i enjoy singing , i’m not very good at it and it took a few takes to get it right . that was a funny moment for me .
i’m still in contact with iona macritchie and i have exchanged a few messages with landon .
i am currently starring in a new project directed and written by david campbell , which is a mockumentary about one man who wants to realise his dream of becoming a wrestler , and the hapless camera crew who follow his every move . in preparation for the role , i began my professional wrestling training at the
which i am very fond of and i would argue has to be one of the best movies ever made .
i think due to being 6ft 2” people would assume i was good at sports like basketball , however i’m terrible at sports . also , i think i surprise people with my cooking as i have been told i can cook a good steak .
thank you for the interview , it has been great . i would like to say to anyone reading this who’s maybe a little worried about getting into films . first of all , try and get involved with anything film related , don’t worry about messing up because it’s a learning experience and although the process of coming up with ideas and making them happen can be difficult , it is so rewarding seeing it all come together .
i’m viktor hernandez , i’m an actor and filmmaker originally from el salvador and now residing in north carolina , usa . i have been acting professionally for over 17 years now . i have had the opportunity to be in a few big hollywood movies and just a few years back i started writing and directing .
i think it was when i was 12 years old when i realized that i enjoyed telling stories in a unique manner . i enjoyed watching movies and wanted to be in them . the dream didn’t come true until years later when i had the opportunity to become an actor and be part of a film . after acting for many years i also wanted to tell my stories and started directing my own short films just a few years back .
we started filming in september of 2017 and finished principal photography in march 2018 . we have had many difficulties making the film but we are hopeful that it will be finished by july 2018 . the main reason it took this long to film is due to the budget for the production . we actually had no budget to film it . everyone involved in the production donated their talent and time and expertise to make it happen , therefore we had to schedule the shoots in a way that everyone would be available without causing disruption to their other jobs or engagements . that being said , the cost to make it would be over $ 2000 plus some additional miscellaneous expenses and including some of the actors accommodations and refreshments .
i saw a posting in one of our filmmakers groups on facebook by the writer of the adaptation ( carmen smith ) that wanted collaborators to make the short film and i submitted my name to be consider to direct it . after the producer / writer saw some of my work , she sent me the script , and i really liked the way that the suspense is built throughout the whole story without giving too much away .
i really had no clue that something like this was available until the writer mentioned how the process worked . carmen smith had done all the paperwork and investigation before i came on board . this is a really good opportunity .
there were several funny moments on set , mainly having to do with the dialog and the way that it was delivered by the actors and also on occasions the way that i would try to recreate certain scenes for the actors . the special moments really happened every shoot day , with the collaboration of everyone involved in the production , but also having to get some shots using diy gear and doing some conventional make believe for several scenes .
that is one of the things that i wasn’t aware when i signed up to direct this short . i understand that the film can be shown at film festivals and special private screenings but i think it would be nice to have a platform to show all of the work based on the short stories from this great author .
since we haven’t finished the film , i haven’t gotten any good or bad reviews so far , but its coming together and i will be open to any constructive criticism like with any of my previous work .
we are planning on submitting the film to several festivals in the us and other countries .
no , since the producer carmen smith was the one who has handled all of the process regarding the dollar baby . we will send a copy to stephen king when the film is finished and we hope to get some kind of response from him .
“ . it may not be easy to set up and execute , but i would like a different challenge and the surprise factor of the story is always something that gets my attention .
right now we are still in post - production for the short film and i am doing the editing , but also i’m writing another script to hopefully shoot by the end of the year . it will be another thriller .
i imagine we are talking about stephen king fans , i would like to thank all the fans out there for having an interest to see how my version of the short story comes out . i hope that we can share it with you and all the fans that follow the dollar baby stories .
i want to thank you for reaching out and doing this interview to allow me to talk about my project and help to get the word out . thanks a million ! ! i invite everyone that would like to find out more about my previous work or new projects to visit my website
my name is steven mcdonald . i am an actor living in edinburgh , scotland . i do mostly screen acting but also some stage work . i have been a songwriter for 30 years and release albums with my band
. i am learning to direct and devise screen and stage plays just now and would also love to write novels in the future .
i was used to performing on stage as a musician but was persuaded about 7 years ago by a friend to have a go st musical theatre . i realised quickly that i enjoyed being on stage and after having finished acting in a production of bugsy malone , i started auditioning for lead roles and found myself being cast . i decided in 2016 to turn pro and started screen acting in 2017 . i was involved in about 25 screen projects last year .
i saw an advert by landon kestlinger and immediately contacted him . i am a huge stephen king fan and already knew the story from
. i wanted to play the part of alden as i thought it would suit me . and it was an honour to be involved .
a lot of people think stephen king is all about horror . but that is far from the truth . this is a touching story about relationships between people who care deeply about one another . there is a supernatural element of course which adds stephen king’s unique signature , however the sentimental journey of the characters for me makes it special .
i applied online and sent a cv with links to my previous work and some headshots and stills from other film projects .
he was great . a pleasure working with him . he is a talented and driven director and i loved the script for
. i felt it facilitated very well the transition from book to screen . the last lines get me every time emotionally .
some really special moments , mostly because i was working with great people . the cast and crew were lovely to work with . i knew carrie already so the fact we were playing family friends felt pretty natural . and it was the first time i had worked with freda but the scenes together were really enjoyable . i hope i can work with both actors and crew again .
. the version i will be doing is in english and is based on polish folklore . i am also going to be playing live gigs over the summer with my band
yes . huge fan . i usually download his audiobooks as he narrates a lot of them . my favourites are classics like
i am a qualified lawyer . i practiced full time for 20 years before i turned pro as an actor .
i really appreciate being asked and if you want to follow what i do or keep in touch i have a facebook page . see
my band are also on facebook . see urltoken or you can find us on apple music , spotify etc .
thank you again for asking me to do this . and a huge thanks to landon for asking me to play alden . i really appreciate it . and a shout out too to carrie , freda and the crew . hope to see you all soon .
i am actor local to atlanta . i have lived and travelled abroad but the film industry took a foothold here in atlanta , georgia a few years ago and so i returned to take my place in it . i am also a floral assistant , culinary and hiking enthusiast .
hahahahaha . i want to be an actor long before i gave in to the deep desire to do so , probably 15 years ago but i tried to suppress the need and ultimately decided to pursue it professionally . you see , i tried not to be an actor because i do value stability and this is not often an industry that provides monetary or geographical consistency but my heart won . if you were born to do something it is difficult to ignore . also , film acting is a bit different because the lens strips away all facade and sees into your soul - that can be a scary thing .
i saw a posting on actor’s access and submitted an audition , i was fortunate enough to be entrusted with such a rich character as ellen .
we all walk around as multiple versions of ourselves and i loved seeing a duplicitous main character who is an outwardly “put together” woman and has a take charge / even violent alter ego . the characters all have layers and that is always attractive as it allows and audience to explore the levels of themselves too .
stephen cast a large net and posted on actors access and luckily i was granted an audition and brought ellen to life .
he is a great communicator and very generous as a director . also , as the writer of the screenplay ( as adapted from stephen king ) he was not tied to his vision alone . stephen invited collaboration and watched out for our well being . he is an actors director so to speak .
the night we filmed not much went as planned and it was a very cold night but we huddled together and made jokes in between scenes to distract ourselves . it fostered a collegial environment in which to work and with very intense scenes like mine one needs to be able to build in a positive and safe space as well .
i don’t . atlanta is a smaller market but it is quite saturated and i can only hope to work with some of these folks in the future .
yes i am a fan . although , i must admit that it has been at least 10 years since i have read one of his novels .
i am an only , a middle , and and oldest child - i know that can be a bit confusing . i am quite positive that each of those rolls has helped to shape me uniquely .
the pleasure was mine . thank you for your support and time spent reading my thoughts . please support small film productions in your local areas and never ever convince yourself that you are too old to chase your dreams . i believe that you only live one and since you can fail at something you don’t like doing , you might as well spend your life chasing what you love . be brave and live boldly .

parents need to know that disneynature ' s earth day - timed documentary wings of life explains the importance of flowers and the earth ' s greatest pollinators : bees , birds , bats , and butterflies . narrated by meryl streep , the documentary follows the journey of these pollinators , some of whom travel amazing distances to pollinate a very specific flower . there is a teensy bit of wildlife violence ( a spider web traps prey , and a few birds fight for the claim on a particular flower ) , but otherwise nature - loving young viewers will enjoy a look at nature ' s unsung heroes , and teachers can use the disney - created educator guide as a tool alongside the feature .

i have heard of disneynature before but , it was a trailer for
chimpanzee
, but back then i thought it was going to be just another documentary about creature ' s lives , formed into a story . at first when i looked at this documentary ,
wings of life
my first impression was it was going to be about butterflies , and birds and bees and all those flying pollinators . but i was in for a surprise . that surprise was what got me hooked up , the documentary was literally turned into a story , like a nature ballet and the
star actors
are the flowers , inanimate and slightly motionless yet
given souls
as though the flowers were talking themselves , whereas the pollinators are more like supporters in the play . disney has earned credit for that many times ( if you still remember
flowers and trees
) , turning objects into actors with souls . even though disneynature is just a division of the major company , its documentary still carries that surreal magic , its a great movie , i would recommend it to anyone .
later that evening , dressed in whatever they could find in the locker rooms george and mary walk home alone along the moonlit streets . ( sliver of the moon ) . as george and mary come closer uncle billy arrives with news of george ' s father ' s heart attack . george leaves mary to rush to his fathers side .

( easy living ) george is almost taken in but in the end turns down mr potter and the money the new job offers . he realizes that by refusing mr potter ' s offer he is giving up the one chance he has to give his wife and family everything they deserve . when he tells mary of his choice she explains to him that money isn ' t important to her . ( quiet wishes , simple dreams )

i cannot get enough of this gorgeous , fascinating and more than i ever imagined look at the creatures in the world we live in . enchanting – and hard to believe what you are watching – is always happening , right before our eyes – i am in love with this film ! d
, which is the one that i skipped . many years ago , they announced all of the various films that they had in the works , and that was the one that i just was not interested in . at all . nor was my wife . we’re just not all that interested in chimpanzees .
at the reception , clark ' s tita jack ( cherry pie picache ) and leah ' s dad , mang sol ( joel torre ) , each gave a speech . we see simon ( paulo avelino ) , leah ' s boss , and the person clark was jealous of before , attending the reception .
george stops buy the dance where he meets mary hatch the little sister of an old friend , but she isn ' t little any more . they have a dance and then another . they would have danced all night if someone hadn ' t tripped the switch on the electric floor and dropped everybody into the pool .
scenes of the wedding preparations are set to a spoken word poem , titled 10 bagay na natuto sa akin ng pag - ibig , performed by their friend , rico , in the background .
ang pagmamahal ay laging babalik sa ' yo ( love will always come back to you ) ,

it was the day of personal victories . for the runner , that was «catched» first in the french inbone , for the
dancing lady in pink
from austria , and for teams from australia and south africa , from canada and poland , which managed not only to run , but also to share the latest news in social networks .
were having their own parties on route and it really kept the spirit going . south africa is doing it right and it shows as there is seldom a person without a smile on at the end . so glad to be part of this brilliant world event and being able to do my part to run for those who can ' t : )
thank you all for this incredible day . more than 100 , 000 people came together across the planet at event runs , app runs or running individually with the app , and the vibe was unforgettable ! now , every cent of the funds raised is helping researchers get closer to a cure for spinal cord injury . we can hardly wait for next year !
like most nature documentaries , this film is visually spectacular . the cinematography captures in breathtaking detail the ways pollinators and their colorful host flowers interact . it shows pregnant and nursing bats drink luscious red cactus fruit in slow motion , and an orchid bee getting trapped in a bucket orchid with perfect precision until the exotic flower ' s pollen sacks have been attached . even basic closeups of monarch butterflies or hungry hummingbirds are startlingly beautiful .
the townspeople throw rice as george and mary are married . they plan to go on a trip and see a little of the world together . but just before they can leave there is a run on the bank . in a panic everybody tries to take their money out of the building and loan . george shows up to help uncle billy and aunt tilly manage the crowd . but the bank has called in it ' s loan and there is no money to make payments . just as it looks like potter has won , mary tells george to use their honeymoon money . george makes the money go as far as he can and as the clock strikes 6pm and the doors close they have only 2 dollar bills left . they place them in the safe and joke about the two bills having babies and making them more money .
