How did winning the Special Jury Prize at SLAMDANCE 2012 help its\/your exposure? How did it feel to be honoured in this way?<\/strong><\/p>\nI’ve been to a lot of film festivals in the past and Slamdance was by far one of the best festival experiences I’ve had to date. Slamdance has a bite to it, an edge that I think separates it from Sundance. I was honored to be screening my film among other terrific films there. <\/p>\n
What are you working on next? What does the rest of 2012 hold for you?<\/strong><\/p>\nI am currently developing concepts for a video portrait series for projection in galleries that I hope to have completed by fall 2012. Overall, I’d like to continue making art and fashion films, straddling sculpture and video but I also feel ready to delve into my first feature. I’m on the look out for scripts and also developing my own ideas, so I’m excited to break into that realm. <\/p>\n
Which current or up-and-coming directors do you admire?<\/strong><\/p>\nZeitguised, Martin de Thurah, Allison Schulnik, and Michael Langan to name a few. My friend David Altobelli at the Directors Bureau, there’s a sensitivity to his work that I admire. And of course Encyclopedia Pictura. They’re creating an entire community for themselves from the ground up in order to sustain themselves and their work, and I can’t think of anyone else doing something that ballsy.<\/p>\n
