THE FILM TRIBE interview
Zach Keifer at THE FILM TRIBE, a blog devoted to alumni of the College of William and Mary working in film, interviewed me about The Virgins for their latest post. An excerpt:
(TFT): What was the most difficult location to shoot at?
(JC): The hardest location was probably shooting in the old warehouse district in Raleigh at night. Nothing to plug into so we rented a generator, which was obviously very noisy and required extra steps in regards to audio. The character is walking rather briskly down sidewalk and we are shooting along side of her with the steadi-cam. But you can only plug so many lights into that generator so there was really only a certain length of sidewalk we could work with before having to move the lights and genny to the next section of sidewalk. And it was just nerve-racking for me because it’s a Sunday night and we’re making a ton of noise what with the genny and my actress yelling into the night (as it says in the script) and while we did have permission from the police I still was nervous someone was going to come along and raise an issue with the production (though the only visitors we had were a couple of inquisitive pedestrians and a fire truck that drove by twice out of curiosity).
You can read the whole interview here. The interview covers a lot of facets of the creation process, from writing to shooting to distribution/exhibition plans.
