Your upcoming movie The Gardener - in a few words, what's it
going to be about?
The Gardener is about a gardener who is down on his luck and losing clients
fast. The clients are canceling their service and the gardener has plans
for them which he believes will lead
to gaining more business. From what I know, The Gardener
is based on a trailer you did for Troma's
Grindsploitation anthology - so how did that one come about, and
did you always intend to eventually expand that trailer? No,
we did the trailer exclusivley for Troma, but it turned out so good. I'm
not trying to toot my horn but it was the best one in Grindsploitation,
so it seemed like a great idea to make it into a feature. What
were your sources of inspiration when writing The Gardener? I
have always been influenced by Herschell G. Lewis [Herschell
G. Lewis bio - click here] and all the S.O.V. directors out there along with everything Troma
put out in the 1980s.
After having done quite a few anthologies, The Gardener is your first
full length feature film - so where do you see the challenges there, and
what made you go feature length with this one?
I have always done anthologies, the biggest challenge was writing a full
length script but we did it. I think people will love it. What have
you planned for The Gardener in terms of blood and guts? There
will be lots of creative kills like you see in the trailer, we wont be shy
on the gore. Do talk about your movie's overall approach to horror! This
wil be a lot like the 80s slasher films. A
few words about the film's intended look and feel? We
want it to look like an old drive-in movie.
Anything
you can tell us about The Gardener's projected cast yet?
We will bring in a lot of the actors we used in the trailer, and will
include a well-known genre actor when we hit our goal.

From what I know, you're currently running a fundraiser for The Gardener
- so what can you tell us about your campaign? We
need to raise funds to make the best film possible, and we cam do that
with little money. Once the
budget's raised, what's the schedule? And any idea when and where the
movie might be released yet?
Not yet we are still in pre-production. Any future projects beyond The
Gardener? Yes,
another anthology. Your/your movie's website, social media,
IndieGoGo, whatever else?
