Your new movie The
Getback - in a few words, what is it about?
This is a sort of a bounty hunter having to bring back a guy, and it
turns out the cops involved are crooked. It’s a buddy, buddy action
with some heart with a fun story.
How did the project fall together in the
first place?
Tubi liked the script and it came together with the producers, who have
a relationship with Tubi. What
can you tell us about The
Getback's writers Chad Law and Garry Charles, and what was your
collaboration like?
Great writers. Chad is a writing machine. Always a good time if Chad’s
name is on the title page. Of your films two protagonists
Cooper and Gordon, who could you actually identify with more, and why? They both have relatable qualities. That’s due to the great writing,
and the actors did great. I can relate to both characters. The
Getback features its fair share of action sequences - so do talk
about the stuntwork in your movie for a bit! It was a lot in a short amount of time. Chris Wilks really did great as
the stunt coordinator. We did some cool stuff like flipping a car. A few words
about your overall directorial approach to your story at hand?
I always approach it from the script level. Study the script more than
anything and the shots, the blocking, that all comes easily once you
really understand the story.
What
can you tell us about The
Getback's cast, and why exactly these people?
Casting was handled by the producers. The actors all did fantastic. A
few words about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere?
It certainly had its challenges and I definitely learned a lot of
valuable lessons. The morale was pretty good for the most part. Some
days were of course better than others. The
$64-question of course, where can The
Getback be seen?
It premiered on Tubi, but now it’s going to be available on other
platforms, and then I think it will be back on Tubi. Anything you can tell us about
audience and critical reception of The
Getback yet?
People really like it! It’s doing really great. I’m very pleased
that the audience and critics have been kind and have enjoyed The
Getback. Any future projects you'd like to
share?
I’ve got a couple things coming out soon, and a few more lined up.
