Your new movie VacciNation:
The Plague - in a few words, what's it about?
A brainwashed government cult that abducts and kills those that opppose
their agenda.
What were your sources of inspiration when writing VacciNation:
The Plague?
I was compelled to make this film after experiencing blatant
government corruption and corporate collusion during the COVID pandemic.
Do talk about VacciNation:
The Plague's approach to the horror and the conspiracy thriller
genre! The profound thing is, everything that the media and the US
government deemed as 'misinformation' and 'conspiracy' has now beenconclusively confirmed as fact
by the House - https://oversight.house.gov/release/final-report-covid-select-concludes-2-year-investigation-
issues-500-page-final-report-on-lessons-learned-and-the-path-forward/:
From where it originated, to the implemented orders of
"safety" that were not based on science, to the psychological
and economic menticide that tortured not just the US but the rest of the world as well.
You also have to talk about VacciNation:
The Plague's brand of comedy and satire! In order to awaken those that deeply oppose information that
challenges their identity, you must teach through Socratic questioning,
and of course comedy, because it's relatable and exploits the shared
retardation of how we can be at the times when blinded by our ignorance and pride. A few
words about your overall directorial approach to your story at hand? Make the most truthful movie that we can. I was limited with
shots, because some days it would be just me, the cameras and actors, so
my goal was to embody the characters as truthful as possible.
You also play one of the leads in VacciNation:
The Plague - so what can you tell us about your character, what
did you draw upon to bring him to life, and have you written him with
yourself in mind from the get-go? I did write my character with myself in mind, but he was not
intended (SPOILER ALERT) to be the hero. The character that played my
wife in the script was supposed to save the day, but it was too
challenging to schedule the actor playing her. The good thing about
acting in your own films as an indie filmmaker is that you can always
count on yourself to show up. To bring reality to the character, I wrote
about the recent and documented side-effects of the rushed MRNA jabs,
and the detrimental effects it had on people close to me. I lost my
beautiful and healthy uncle to a rare and aggressive cancer shortly
after he was quadrupole boosted due to the aggressive ploy of not being
able to travel unless vaxxed. What can you tell us about the rest of your cast, and why exactly these people? My family are the greatest supporters and the best
producers that help on every production. The a+ctors, they're awesome. Many of them are
friends and have worked with me on several projects since the beginning
of their careers, and the rest, if they keep honing their craft, will be
very successful at what they do. I'm very grateful for them. Do
talk about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere! It was fun, man. We rented out many beautiful locations, as too
that's where the budget went, because I knew that interesting spots
would add to a more professional looking production with the little
budget we had. I would say that everyone had the time of their lives
while filming. It's always challenging, filmmaking, you're bringing
every aspect of formless creativity to life: Writing, performing,
filming, and this lasts forever in the formless dimension of motion
picture, which paradoxically is within our world of form (what we can
see). Moments of times that no longer exist still live to this day like
the memories in our hearts and minds - filmmaking is a profound art form.
The $64-question of course, where can VacciNation:
The Plague be seen? As of now it's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KjgGgaJBaE
and https://twitter.com/thejackedpoet/status/
1860766052428202375 for
free - but it's seeking a platform for distribution as well. Anything you can tell us
about audience and critical reception of VacciNation:
The Plague? Many people loved it, and quite frankly there wasn't any negative
press or critiques about the movie, which surprises me, based upon what
it was birthed from: controversy. Any future projects you'd like to
share? I am working on a slew of new films:
Happy Anniversary is about infidelity, as a husband unknowingly orders
the private chef that his wife had slept with for their anniversary
dinner; tension then builds over their dinner and the truth soon
surfaces. It's Here revolves around a mythological werewolf in New Jersey that
feeds upon the innocent people of a small suburban town.
Technocracy follows a documentary filmmaker that soon learns why his
controversial movie has been "blacklisted" from the industry,
and that AI humanoids have been living amongst and replacing human
society for quite some time due to a secret CIA project.
Also, all of the films have components of social and political
observations and influences, which I feel give the utmost relatability
to a movie as whole, thus making it purposeful entertainment.
What got you into the filmworld in the first
place, and did you receive any formal training on the subject?
I always wanted to be a movie star, but I was too fearful to try.
Eventually, after a rather deep mental breakdown, I was pushed to do
what genuinely interested me and signed up for my first acting class at
the age of 25 or so. From then on, I was determined. I came home with
tears of joy because I knew that this was just the beginning. I began
helping my acting teacher produce films behind the scenes and learned
the hustle of moviemaking while on set of our student films - I quickly
then made my first short and then many more after that, with features to
follow. I realized I wasn't just an actor but a writer with a vision. I
met my production partner, cinematographer Kevin Harrington, on set and
was mentored through the process of actively making movies, gaining more
experience with each one, up to this very day.
Camera, editing, the whole shebang, was honed behind the scenes and due
to lovely tutorials and teachers on YouTube that helped me learn and
continue to teach me more and more as a filmmaker. There is no excuse to
not learn how to do things yourself and save A LOT of money from paying
other people to do it other than laziness and other forms of procrastination like perfectionism.
You seem to be as comfortable in front of the camera as behind it - so which
side do you actually prefer, and why?
Thank you for that. It's hard to say. There's something innate within me
that loves to perform. In fact, if I don't perform for a while I feel the
emotions festering up within me, begging to get out, like a dog that
needs to run, essential to its genetic makeup. At the same time, I love
being able to focus on building the virtual world without having to wear
so many hats and be in front of the camera - that's why I have scenes
without the characters I play in them. It's a tie, I'd say. I love them both equally.
What can you tell us about your filmwork prior to VacciNation:
The Plague, in whatever position? My productions have evolved immensely throughout each creation and
I'm so proud of the movies we've created with basically no budget. I
claim to be one of the true barebones indie filmmakers of our time
because a lot of the movies that claim to be "independent"
have too large of a budget; just because they're outside of Hollywood
mainstream doesn't mean that they're still not "Hollywood".
They claim to be a "low-budget" movie with budgets the cost of
car or house - I don't feel that is true indie filmmaking. Even $10,000
is a lot of money for an independent movie, and I haven't even put half
of that to the productions I've produced, and we've accomplished a
lot, both creatively and visually. Not to mention, I'm acting in
these movies too, most times with no crew, sometimes one other person.
Imagine what we can do with a big budget... How would you
describe yourself as an actor, and how as a director? As an actor, natural, truthful and present to the situation or
given scenario that is birthed by the script. As a director, creatively
free and open to new ideas to spontaneously make the scene/film more compelling. Actors,
filmmakers, writers, whoever else who inspire you?

Back in the day, when I was heavy into comedy, I would say people
that directed, wrote and acted in their own stuff, like Seth Rogen was a
big one upon starting out. Comedians like George Carlin have definitely
influenced my world view, as I felt his views were similar to mine in
regard to social commentary. Action heroes like Xena and Hercules used
to drive me, Batman and
Spider-Man, to being that hero on screen.
Sylvester Stallone's story always was inspiring as well. I've realized
that I'm more inspired with the people that I work with, because I'm
learning so much with them in that moment. Though, from watching so many
movies growing up, writing a screenplay with an arc was rather inherent. Your favourite
movies?
Pineapple Express, This Is The End, 21 Jump
Street, Don't Breathe, Carrie, It, The
Shining, Rocky, A
Nightmare on Elm Street, all of the Halloweens, a lot of Hitchcock, too many movies that I enjoy. I don't
really have a set favorite. ... and of course, films you really deplore? A majority of the movies made today that fit the
trends and propaganda of the globalist puppetted advertisers Hollywood; it's really
given me a sour taste in my mouth. There is no purpose for them and they're absent of the shared individual experience.

Anything else you're dying to mention and I have merely forgotten to ask? You covered it all! I just preach to the audience to do what
interests you. This life is short. Try things that add a new dimension
of life to you because this connects you to all, thus spreading peace, love &
kindness, without even trying to do so. Become aware of the
space between these words that I speak: There is incredible power here. Thanks
for the interview!
