Tell us about ‘The Informercial’. How do you describe it?

Chaotic and very dark humor to be honest but it was also fun and safe with people behind the scenes you'll see the bts soon as people were  laughing and fun thats atleast what I can do for this project to be made as it to be legal and safe and fun as possible

Please tell us about your favorite filmmakers.

1. Orson welles the man i will surpass one day

3. King vader was my biggest inspiration when it comes to making films he made fan films as the way to tell me I can be a filmmaker too as I will surpass him.

4. Andy lormiere he taught me everything i needed to know about films and how to make em and he let have my own path of making them and my own style I will surpass him first so I can not only graduate from who I was but who im going to be just so andy can tell his students that he once knew a kid that changed the industry for the better

If you were given a good budget, what would be your ideal project?

A big mafia film about a failed actor that got a mix up confusing a mafia meeting for a audition for a movie its a comedy and experimental.

Describe how you would ensure that production is on schedule. What steps would you take?

Well first step is focus what shots can I do first and which ones I need to develop more fluidity within the production and minimize times to focus particular scenes.

What was the hardest part of making ‘The Informercial’.

It was honestly the pitch that mightve been different if I hadn't had friends to help me they change the script so there fore I can make this project as ethical and comedic as possible.
