Movie and Film Interviews

Zach Galligan

2010-02-11T10:24:38Z

FOF:So Zach what attracted you to the film Cut?

Zach:It was two things really. One I'd never worked in the UK before so that was something I wanted to do and also this was unlike a typical film in the fact it was a continuous shot so almost like a play. We had ten days rehearsal then six days shoot. It was alot of repitition and on the way over on the plane I was pretty nervous as to how we were going to pull it off but the cast and crew really came together.

FOF:As the film is in one continuous shot there must be very little room for error. Did this put you under extra pressure?

Zach:No it was more exciting but difficult at times. On top of dialogue, standing on the right marks in the right light, blood packs and knowing your lines there were moments when you dread. There was one sequence where I had to change on set off camera really quickly, switch mikes and be ready for my next shot in a very short period of time.

Sasha Grey

So fuckers here it is, the roundtable interview with Sasha Grey. Before I get started, I'd like to give it up for the lovely Emily at HeyUguys.co.uk who was in the interview with me and to which some of the answers were directed. Check out their site you monkey-bitches because it kicks ass.

FOF: So, Sasha, thanks for answering a couple of questions - start off by telling me how you got the role in The Girlfriend Experience?

Sasha: I did an article for – and I should get paid for this, man [laughs] – I did an article for Los Angeles Magazine and it led to some daytime American television and also led to Brian Koppelman, the co-writer of The Girlfriend Experience, contacting me about the article. Brian called me to set up a meeting with Steven Soderbergh. At first I thought it was a sick joke, so he had Steven leave me a voicemail. So we set up a meeting at Warner Bros. I was excited and nervous but it was good, it felt really natural.

Jake West

Yeah sorry for the delay - I've been going to lots of film festivals- Sweden (Fantastik Film Fest), Germany (Fantasy Film Fest), America (Fantastic Fest) and Spain (sitges) and been out the country for a bit.

1. Ok dude thanks for answering some questions. First off what made you get into the film business?

I loved films as a kid and was lucky both my parents love movies too so I was fortunate and got taken to the cinema alot. Back then I had no idea how films were made but I knew theer was something fucking magical about them so I was intrigued to know more and read books and magazines and whatever info I could get. I didn't have any contacst or rich parents so I was basically stuck having to figure out stuff for myself and then in the mid 80's camcorders were invented and I spent a tear and half working and saving money to buy one so as a teenager I started making my own movies with my mates on video and it went from there. Once you're addicted it's a hard expensive fucker of a drug to shake. Basically I fucking love cinema and am completely obsessed with it.

Phil Hughes

FOF: The internet obviously allows people like yourselves to get an idea out there without the usual costs that are involved with a complete film. Is it something you've embraced or was it a last option?

Phil: Being a part of the independent film community for a while, there are definitely big financial hurdles to overcome. Basic things like using HD so you have a better projected image to (nowadays) using lens packages to create that more film look. The independent festival circuit is a different beast than the early 90's. I don't think a movie like Clerks (which I thoroughly enjoy) wouldn't get nearly as far these days, just because of the production value. So, the web is a solid way to produce something with nice production value, but without having to freak out about certain things. Now, we get to freak out about a whole new set of problems.

Simon Phillips

2009-10-02T12:07:49Z

FOF: I've checked out your bio and it seems that acting was always something you wanted to do. What made you decide that this was the career for you?

Simon: As a kid I was always a bit of a bullshitter to be honest. I could talk my way out of anything – I think I believed myself a lot too! It probably evolved from there.

FOF: You've obviously not just fallen into film and spent quite a bit of time treading the boards. Has that made film acting easier or is it completely different?

Simon: Theatre is bloody hard work and for very little reward,. You can do a six month run of heavy Shakespeare stuff, working your bollocks off, and then the day you leave – you’re back to square one. With film you build up a catalogue of films and performances and it feels like you can mature into screen acting a bit more. There’s nothing quite like the buzz of seeing something you’re in on the big screen.

Aites And Ewell Interview

2009-10-01T17:16:21Z

FOF: What inspired you to make a film on black metal? Are you fans?

Audrey: We were introduced to the genre by Andeee Connors, who runs Aquarius Records in San Francisco. He knew we were into noise, experimental, rock, things like the Brainbombs, Dead C, Destroy All Monsters, so knew this would be up our alley. We got obsessed pretty quickly, collected everything we could, and after a while looked around to see if there was a good doc on the subject. There wasn't. Being filmmakers, wwe decided to make one. That may sound glib, but only because we've told this story so many times! It was actually really exciting, the first year of discovering this new genre that we loved. We researched extensively before we went to Norway. Of course. I mean we had to, or the guys would never have taken us seriously.

Adam Mason Interview

2009-09-01T07:51:18Z

1.Welcome Adam and thanks for talking to us at FOF. Easy one to kick off with. What got you into films?

Lack of any real work ethic probably. And the abject terror at the idea of actually having to get a real job. I was never much of a morning person, and could never understand how people actually get up at 7am, day in and day out, and go and do some piece of shit job they hate.... and ultimately never have anything to show for it anyway! I'd always loved movies growing up, movies and books - although where i grew up I'd never met anyone who was in anyway involved in film - so it always seemed like an impossible dream.

Terry Stone Interview

2009-09-01T07:39:29Z

1.You are of course the legendary rave promoter Terry Turbo and believe it or not I actually attended your first rave at Roller Express in Edmonton. Can't remember what it was called but it was a good night. How easy have you found it to make the move from that scene into acting?

If you compare my journey to most Actors it has been a very quick journey. I have worked very hard over the last seven years to get where I am today, so it is in no way been an over night success but with Acting you can't make it happen it either does or it doesn't. I remember when I sold my club promoting business to go into a new career at 31 years of age into acting everyone in the rave scene thought I had gone mad, I'm glad I hadn't!

Omar Doom - Death Proof/Inglorious Basterds

2009-01-29T21:07:49Z

Click for Doooommmm!Okay we all owe this dude a big fucking thanks, no disrespect to Willy Rosner and David Lynam who are both legends for taking their time to do an interview with us but Omar Doom is a big fucking step up. Omar Doom is no extra and has quite possibly the coolest motherfucking name ever.

Check out Death Proof on IMDb, Omar is character number 13 playing Nate, just below Eli Roth and then next up he is playing Omar Ulmer in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. Finally this guy is also a musical genius, check the tune Teenage Shotgun out below, its fucking badass!

Fuck Off Film: Okay first off that is one bad motherfucker name, Omar Doooommmmm! Where did you get it?
Omar Doom: Its shortened from Makhdoomi. It was actually Quentin Tarantino that suggested going with DOOM a long time ago.

Interview with David Lyman - 'Park Victim' from Friday 13th

2009-01-23T09:12:08Z

Click to smokeSo here it is, another badass interview straight out of Hollywood with none other than the up and coming star Davvvviiiiddddd 'Green Eyes' Lyymaannnnnn. David plays the crucial role of 'Park Victim' in the remake of Friday 13th, the most important of all the victims in the film.

The truth is without 'Park Victim' there is no meaning to Jason and therefore there is no film. David is currently busy working on a number of projects but was delighted to take some time out of his fucking busy schedule to talk to Fuck Off Film.

Fuck Off Film: So what is it like being the second ever interviewee on Fuck Off Film?
David Lyman: Well the only thing that could possibly make this experience better would be if I had been the first! I'm a new, but no less big, fan of your blog. Thanks for having some fun with me.
