Please tell us about the projects you worked on before making ‘Error 707’. How did you start, and how did you learn to make films?
“Error 707” is my first official film project, and I learned how to make films in College courses and practiced screenwriting in my free time.
Tell us about ‘Error 707’. How do you describe it?
A short comedy featuring two students with very different priorities.
Please tell us about your favorite filmmakers.
Some of my favorite filmmakers include Zack Snyder, Gore Verbinski, Steven Spielberg, Denis Villeneuve, and Hayao Miyazaki.
If you were given a good budget, what would be your ideal project?
That depends on what you’re implying by a “good budget.” If you’re talking about something in the $2-9 million range, I would probably do some kind of werewolf/revenge film. If it's in the $20-29 million dollar range, it's some kind of supernatural horror film about two brothers confronting childhood scars. If we're talking about the $200 million dollar range, I have an idea for something that I can best describe as Dante’s Inferno meets Inception.
Describe how you would ensure that production is on schedule. What steps would you take?
I would probably make sure that all of the actors are in good health and try to do as few takes as possible, and focus on getting the big scenes done faster. What was the hardest part of making ‘Error 707’. Hiring actors. A college campus makes the process and selection a little wonky, especially when my first two choices cancelled at the last minute.
If possible, tell us about your next work. What plans do you have for your future work?
If it gets off the ground, I would probably do another comedy short. It would be a bit more subversive than “Error 707.
