Hello everyone, welcome to another interviews section in this blog. For me personally is very pleasant knock me with singular and peculiar persons, obviously these adjectives are in a good term. This occasion I got the chance to talk with Henrique Couto a diretor who has directed 17 films roughly, in 2016 he launched three films, among them "Amityville: No Escape" a film with the traditional amityville house story but with the henrique's style, I hope you really like the interview.
First thing is thankful to Henrique Couto for his time, and wish him the best.
EFF: When did born
your love to make films? What was that moment you felt or you decided Films
would be equal to life?
HC: I've loved films
since I was a young child, from the moment I got my hands on a camcorder I knew
I wanted to make movies. It's the only thing that makes me truly happy.
EFF: Your recently
horror film was "Amityville:No escape". Why you decided to make this
movie?
HC: Wanted to make a scary movie that was more
accessible to audiences so I brought in the well-known mythology of Amityville.
Trailer: Amityville: No Escape
EFF: How was the creating process?
HC: Film was very
challenging, we spent a few months in post-production tweaking the story and
doing re-shoots to the film just right.
EFF: You are like stan lee in his films, cause you
frequently makes cameos on your movies, why? Do you like also acting?
HC: I have cameos in
maybe 1 out of every 3 films I make. The reasoning is simple, I'm affordable
and available!
EFF: Your films are
low budget right? Why? You like that way? Or it is difficult getting financing?
HC: I make films on
low budgets for the same reason you aren't stinking rich, there's no such thing
as easy money.
EFF: From all your
movies which was the highest budget so far?
HC: My largest budget
film was a comedy called “Nothing Good Ever Happens”.
EFF: I like this kind
of films made it with super low money, but with high creativity, what financing
method you apply?
HC: I've directed 15
feature films and every film is different. Some films are funded out of my own
pocket, or from traditional means like distributors or producers. I've done a
few via crowdfunding.
HC: I've been an avid
fan of horror my entire life, I love Dawn of the Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre,
Evil Dead. My fandom entirely started with Horror.
EFF: From your horror
films, which one you liked most?
HC: That's like
asking me to pick my favorite child, I really can't. But I think my most
underrated horror film is “Haunted House on Sorority Row”.
Buy it: AMAZON
EFF: Do you want to
keep continuing making low budget films way you make it so far or would you
like to try something different?
HC: I'm always trying
something different. I've directed westerns, dramas, comedies, family films,
etc.
EFF: I know you are
making a new films, drama genre right? But there is something else in your
current works? Something on horror?
HC: I just wrapped my
latest horror film, the title hasn't been announced yet but it was a great time
to make and I think people are going to enjoy it.
It's recommended tell you that Henrique Couto has finishing his new horror short film called "Bed Demon"
