FILMMAKER INTERVIEW

What do you want the audience to take away from the film?

I would like for the audience to learn about the folklore of the Rougarou. This film can entertain audiences in a fun way when it comes to Louisiana legends.

Why are opportunities like Film Prize Junior important to students like you?

This is the first time I’ve ever made a short film. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to even begin to make something like this if it weren’t for my teachers, friends, and Film Prize Jr giving me a chance to turn my idea into something great. I hope to make more films in the future.

Which scene did you have an absolute blast filming and why?

The last scene was a scene I had an absolute blast filming. I had the opportunity to act in the film and we were shooting on location. It was scary at times but overall it was a great experience to share with the rest of the team.

What obstacles challenged you and your crew the most when completing this film? What did you learn from making this short film?

Every part of production was a challenge. Planning, Shooting, Editing, Animating, all of it. I learned that it’s ok if it’s hard as long as you don’t stop till the job is done you can have an awesome project to share.

What advice would you give to future participants in Film Prize Junior?

Don’t put things off. It’s hard to balance all the parts of production with school work but it’s important to finish what you started even when you feel like there’s too much to do, keep going.
