fatbatcatrat123 -- It was pretty strange, but I'd never made movies before that, so I didn't actually know how strange it was. We got very cold and tired, and the directors stopped giving us food after the first 5 days. Their intention was to make us feel like the events were actually taking place. "Method" filmmaking is what I think you would call it. It worked!

I think its kinda weird that "found footage" has become a genre unto itself. When we made BWP, we made it the way we did because it was the only way to execute the film with super-limited resources. I love that it's become an acceptable punk/DIY way to go out and make a film... but I will admit, it always seems a little strange to me when I hear of a big-budget studio making a found-footage movie. Kind of like if Kanye decided to record his next album on the same equipment that the Sex Pistols recorded in order to sound grimier.

I have a tattoo on my chest of a ghost holding a baby's hand.

Humbling, but totally fun. I'm 20 years older than her, and was amazed every day by her level of talent and professionalism. Chloe is exactly where she is supposed to be, doing exactly what she was born to do.

Sadly none. But I did once have a girl tell me that she lost her virginity to Tom Sawyer -- and have been obsessed with that song ever since. Maybe it's time to buy one, eh?
