Your new movie Massacre at Femur Creek - in a few words, what's it about, and what can you tell us about your character in it?

 

The way I describe it to folks is: It’s a bachelor party in the woods and there’s a killer on the loose. That seems to pique their interest. My character, Patrick, is the groom of said bachelor party.

 

What did you draw upon to bring your character to life, and how much Adam Lemieux can we find in Patrick?

 

A large part of the movie revolves around the friendships of the main cast, and how those friendships have evolved or deteriorated over the years. Like many of us, I’ve lost touch with people who’ve been my best friends at points in my life, and I also have those friends who I see rarely but when we get together it’s like it was yesterday. So I brought in those experiences with friendship and what that might look like with the surrounding characters in the film.

 

Also, Patrick is in the midst of changing the persona that he’s built up over the years into a better version of himself–a man who is settled down and ready to start the next chapter of his life. I’m always working on self-improvement so I related to that as well.

 

How did you get involved with the project in the first place, what drew you to it?

 

I had auditioned for another project that director Kyle Hytonen [Kyle Hytonen interview - click here] was producing, and while I wasn’t right for it he thought I had the leading man looks (his words) to be his Patrick on this project. He sent me the script, we met for coffee to discuss everything, and I had a great feeling about him and the movie we were going to make. The opportunity to lead a feature film shot in my hometown was definitely a draw too.

 

To what extent could you identify with the film's approach to both horror and comedy?

 

I wouldn’t say I’m a die-hard horror fan but I definitely learned a lot about the indie scene and some iconic films in the genre from working on this project. In terms of comedy, there are tons of raunchy bits in the film which I always found amusing in comedies growing up. I can still get a good laugh out of them these days.

 

What can you tell us about Massacre at Femur Creek's director Kyle Hytonen, and what was your collaboration like?

 

Kyle is a kick-ass director and so laid back. He’s one of the easiest guys to get along with and it was a joy to go to work everyday. He’s had this film in his head for a long time so he had a very clear vision for it, but was still open to all sorts of improv and shenanigans that others would come up with on the day. He really fostered a ‘what-the-hell-why-not’ environment and kept everything playful. I’ll sing his praises to anyone!

 

A few words about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere?

 

The shoot was a week long bash. Lots of overnights in the woods but I had the time of my life. I hadn’t met most of the cast or crew until day one of shooting, but it was clear from the start that there were no egos on the entire team and the chemistry between everyone was instantaneous. It made it so easy to work because we all just wanted the best result every time. And like I said, I was in my hometown so gallivanting around in the dead of night felt very nostalgic.

 

Any future projects you'd like to share?

 

I was part of a feature film titled East End, another project filmed in Hamilton.

 

What got you into acting in the first place, and did you receive any formal training on the subject?

 

I started getting into acting in my teenage years and went to the University of Waterloo for theatre many years ago. Life led me in different directions post-grad and I only dabbled in it for a period of about 10 years. Then a couple of years ago, I decided to give it the college try I never gave it back in the day. Having a blast so far!

 

What can you tell us about your filmwork prior to Massacre at Femur Creek?

 

Massacre at Femur Creek was the first film job that I ever booked to be honest with you. I had some theatre experience and some classwork but no real film work. I was lucky enough to film a few different projects after the audition so that by the time we got to filming I wasn’t completely green.

 

How would you describe yourself as an actor, and some of your techniques to bring your character to life?

 

I want to be as collaborative as possible when I’m on set. A lot of it is taking what others are giving me and running with it, and also coming to set myself with different ideas that we can play around with. It’s important to never lock into a choice or an idea that I’ve come up with, because there are always better ones out there. The constant exploration and deep diving is what keeps acting fresh. But on a basic level, just trying to understand every situation the character goes through and giving some background to those moments is always a good start.

They’re always changing but right now a lot of Irish actors are inspiring me–Andrew Scott, Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan. Their bodies of work kind of speak for themselves. Also, I think Jude Law has had an incredibly enviable career.

 

Your favourite movies?

 

Saving Private Ryan, The Big Lebowski, A Knight’s Tale, It’s a Wonderful Life, anything by Guy Ritchie.

 

... and of course, films you really deplore?

 

I think I’m too chill to deplore films. Even the bad ones tell me something.
