As a film maker, or craftsman of any kind, it’s important to fail miserably so you get the taste for it. The Burnt House benefited from my myriad of errors I had made prior to it. In fact I feel as though I learned the most about film making from Sight because of the tremendous amount of mistakes I made with it. The process and result could not have turned out better and I learned a tremendous amount from making it. The Burnt House is one of my favorite films I have made. Was this a natural follow-up to Sight? Can you tell us a little bit about the production? Did The Burnt House see the same success as your first feature? Another horror picture with supernatural elements. Your second film was The Burnt House, in 2009. I made a lot of mistakes and cut a lot of corners. How did it end up in their hands and what has the response been to Sight? What made you pick this project as your debut? The picture ended up being distributed by Lionsgate. You made your directorial debut in 2008 with Sight. I have been making films since I was 7 so I really don’t know any other way of doing things, so yes I guess it seemed naturalĢ. What inspired you to become a filmmaker? Did it seem natural once you were knee-deep in your first project? Was it as easy as you had anticipated? Like most people in the independent horror community, you started as a fan. Questions are in italic for ease of reading! Pictures added by Splat.ġ.
