Writer/Director and site alumni ERIC RED recently entered the ring
with Eye for Film to talk chop-shop about his next flick
100 FEET, which stars Famke Janssen
and Bobby Cannavale (yes, my sorry ass has a small role in it as
well). Here’s an excerpt:
Darren Amner: 100 Feet is the latest
movie you’ve written and directed. Currently it’s in post-production; how
did the shoot go, and what can we expect from the finished feature?
Eric Red: It’s a classical-style
contemporary ghost story that focuses on suspense and terror, not gore. It
is old school in that it is character and story-driven and you care a lot
about the people in it. The pace is deliberate but it has scenes that will
make you jump out of your seat.
The filming went very well. The performances,
particularly Famke Janssen and
Bobby Cannavale in
the leads, are terrific. Technically, the photography, sets, effects,
editing are all solid. The film is a mix of old school and new school
horror, and hopefully will be a refreshing change for audiences.
