5Q's w/: oz arshad "Opening Up" Director
QUESTION#1: What excited you the most when making this film?: A character you do not see often in a short film about love.
QUESTION#2: What was the most significant film you've seen AT THE THEATER in 2024, and how did it influence your filmmaking?:The Substance comes to mind recently. Keep you audience entertained.
QUESTION#3: What's an obvious and not-so-obvious question someone might ask about your film?: What made you think of the feet?
QUESTION#4: A magic movie genie is giving you an unlimited budget for your next production! However, you're only allowed to use it on either "above line" or "below line" resouces. Which do you choose and why?: Above the line - Above the line Indie people (writers, Directors, Producers) are broke for years and years so I'd give it to above the line so they can pay themselves and have an income from film and get them to redistribute the rest to make the film.
QUESTION#5: What is it about your current movie that will influence your next film?: Well, I've done 3 films since shooting that one, so thinking back, I'd say it is really understanding what is going on in your script and you can never learn enough about story and characters.
