They are a dark comedy remix of <b><i><a href="../research/resultserieslinks.shtml?X-Files">The X-Files</a></i></b>' Scully and Mulder, but with these two you're never finding the truth out there.<p> <p><b>Now how did the project fall together to begin with, and how did you get attached as director? And what drew you to the project in the first place?</b><p> <p>My then agent, now bestie Luana Ribeira put me onto the project as she is co-producer. I felt an affiliation on day one of filming when we met Lynn Lowry and shot a car stunt with Rudy Barrow <i>[<a href="rudybarrow(9-12).shtml"><b>Rudy Barrow</b> interview - click here</a>]</i>. Everyone was so hyped up for it. It was almost like a <b>Carry on Screaming</b> film. Different from the dark edge filming I’m used to. Comedy is hard to pull off, but when this started as a short - <b><a href="../movies/talkofthedead(2016).shtml">Talk of the Dead</a></b> - it was inevitable that it was becoming a feature film.<p> <p><b>What can you tell us about <i><a href="../movies/theresnosuchthingaszombies(2020).shtml">There's No Such Thing as Zombies</a></i>' writer/producer Michael Haberfelner <i>[<a href="michaelhaberfelner(10-21).shtml">Michael Haberfelner interview - click here</a>]</i>, and what was your collaboration like?</b><p> <p>It was nice to work with a producer who wasn’t a complete dick. Michael had a vision, and it was nice to be with someone with a true writing talent. We gelled because our passion and desire work completely differently, we don’t clash. He is relentless, I am relentless, but we let each other breathe.<p> <p><b>To what extent could you identify with your movie's brand of humour?</b><p> <p>Like I said earlier it’s <b> Carry on Screaming</b> or <b>Lock Stock and Two Smoking Zombies</b>. It has the British comedy and style to it. I’m a cheeky Essex London lad so I love the script's British humour - written by a Austrian, that's ironic :D<p> </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="455" align="left"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img border="0" src="../stills/theresnosuchthingaszombies-1.jpg" width="450" height="253"> <p align="center"><i>Debra Lamb, Scott Hillier</i></td> </tr> </table> <p><b>What can you tell us about your overall directorial approach to your story at hand?</b><p>  <p>My direction style is one of an auteur. I direct hand-on also I am still one of a raw style. Long sleepless nights, fast and direct. Let’s not forget this feature was shot in a grand total of 3 weeks in total. Let’s do it again soon I say. Create a big budget within your actions on set as an independent film maker. <p> <p><b>Do talk about <i><a href="../movies/theresnosuchthingaszombies(2020).shtml">There's No Such Thing as Zombies</a></i>' key cast, and why exactly these people?</b><p> <p>First day on set I met Lynn Lowry, and still to this day I ask the question of why are you not bigger than what you are as actress. A throwback to theatre acting.<p>Debra Lamb <i>[<a href="debralamb(12-12).shtml"><b>Debra Lamb</b> interview - click here</a>] </i>and Scott Hillier are the same actor but of different sexes, both have the same natural talent.<p>Rachel Brownstein's <i>[<a href="rachelbrownstein(10-16).shtml"><b>Rachel Brownstein</b> interview - click here</a>]</i> a natural comedy actress. <p> Rudy Barrow <i>[<a href="rudybarrow(9-12).shtml"><b>Rudy Barrow</b> interview - click here</a>]</i> and Rami Hilmi <i>[<a href="ramihilmi(6-12).shtml"><b>Rami Hilmi</b> interview - click here</a>] </i>are a comedy duo who I love to work with. <p> Luana Riberia <i>[<a href="eiriancohen(1-17).shtml"><b>Luana Ribeira</b> a.k.a. <b>Eirian Cohen</b> interview - click here</a>]</i> is crazy.<p>The cast make the film because comedy is hard to pull off.
