A salute to everyone reading this interview. The principal aim of this blog is provide valuable information at those newbies filmmakers out there, you know, filmmakers that haven't shot any movie yet because they feel trapped in doubts about concepts or practical tricks about something or they feel mentally blocked crafting their movie story. So, what they need are the testimonies from other more experienced filmmakers, who started out like them, from zero, or maybe some didn't commence from zero but have suffered they same doubts they are suffering now, all this with practical question regarding the moviemaking backgrounds, how to do certain things, advice about specific matters, no abstract issues but real matters.
Having said that, I've had the fortune to have talked with many indie filmmakers, there are some who have been more open to share their thought than others but in overall all have been really helpful giving out advice and sharing their experiences, the setbacks faced and the most important how they solved them out. I've exposed the previous speech because I had the tremendous pleasure to talk with the talented and bright director CASEY TEBO. I have to say that he has been one of the most expressful directors I've ever talked before and knowing the level he usually moves around I am more than honoured. We talked about his latest work, the comedy - horror BLACK FRIDAY. The film was starred by Bruce Campbell, Devon sawa, Ivana Baquero, Ryan Lee, Stephen Peck and Michael Jai White. You can imagine the level the movie has, I mean, a dazzling cast. The movie was released on VOD and limited theaters in 2021 and had its DVD and Bluray release in January 2022, you can check here.
Casey is from Massachusetts and as he said himself, the curiousity for filmmaking was born thanks to a scene from Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, from that particula scene a world begun for him. Casey explained to us in a clear way how he approaches the creation of a movie, gave us really worthy advice and tips when shooting a scene and plenty more things.
