Your
upcoming movie Anna: Scream
Queen Killer - in a few words, what is it
about? An actress. Desperate
for Stardom. How far is too far? A sick film director. A scenario many
will recognise. Sometimes too familiar. The casting couch awaits my dear.
That is Anna: Scream
Queen Killer. "Scream Queen" - what does the term
mean to you, and how important do you rate scream queens in today's horror
cinema in general, and your own brand of movies in particular?
At
the heart of nature we find the ultimate drive for survival of self and
survival of species. The drug of sex drives us. She will never leave the
films, never leave, for she is the object of universal desire. Carnal
lusting for the most beautiful is pure, ignorance and abuse is the evil. How
did the project come into being to begin with? And how did you hook up
with your co-writer, co-director and star Melanie Denholme [Melanie
Denholme interview]? As
sure as gravity attracts, so she and I were pulled together. Inevitable. Anna: Scream
Queen Killer seems to be quite, well, extreme in content. Was there ever a line either
you or Melanie refused to cross, and considering the film's content, what
can you tell us about the on-set atmosphere as such?
What
point is there to playing half a game, nobody will ever know who wins.
Play with all your heart, mind and soul and whether you win or lose, you
know that you gave your all. How
would you describe the general style and tone of the movie? Life.
You walk in, take part, get high, get low, feel every deadly sin. Dark
Satanic Magick - what's that one about?
Energy, control, free will, empowerment,
rejection, abuse, fulfilment, desire. Dark
Satanic Magick once again stars the wonderful Melanie Denholme - not
that I have any issues with that, but anyways, why her again?
She
is magick.
Dark
Satanic Magick seems to be deeply rooted in the writings of Aleister
Crowley. So how much research went into that side of your story, and to
what extent do you consider Crowley an inspiration for your writing? Crowley
was one, there are many. What Crowley learned he used his way. Melanie
will show an opposing force. Alien
in My Head - again, what's that one about? How
will they come? In ships across the vastness of space? Or will they find
another way? Your
leading lady Nikki Webster [Nikki
Webster interview - click here], what will she bring to the table? Insanity.
Beauty. Depth. The
word "alien" in the title suggests science fiction and special
effects - is there any truth to that assumption? There
is. Dreaming
a Voyeur Death - now there's a promising title, so what can you tell
us about the movie behind it?
Who
has not wished their dreams to come true? The word
"voyeur" in the title suggests quite a bit of nudity and sex -
which you're not a total stranger of, right? So how far are you going in
that direction? There are no
humans with a hundred feet that will come anywhere near what this film
will do. Anything you can tell us about your cast
yet? A dark film, with
ultimate depravity cast in darkness. Any other films of yours you'd like to talk about,
future projects you'd like to share? Aquinas
is, was and always will be - Legion. Any idea when and
where any of these films will be released onto the general public? The
hands of Chronos will decide. Judging
from your filmography, single-person narratives are quite your thing. So
what are the advantages but also the challenges of putting all the weight
of a movie on just one actress's shoulders? All
of existence came from a singularity and the singularity can tell the
entire tale – beginning to end.
To put the
last question on its head, what qualities do you look for in an actress to
cast her in a movie of yours?
Complete insanity.
Any actresses you'd love
to work with but haven't yet (no matter how improbable)? There
are many asylums yet to visit. In
general, where do you draw inspiration from? Inside
and out. The atman. The soul. The darkest places.
How would
you describe yourself as a director? Aquinas. Filmmakers who
inspire you? Those who fear
not. Your favourite movies?

The
mood commands and changes and turns and twists. Time alters our lives and
minds. There is no favourite – there are only fleeting likes. ...
and of course, films you really deplore? In
all things there is merit to be found. Your website,
Facebook, whatever else? Aquinas
has no website. As if by the dagger of fate the irony of a
facebook.com/aquinasfilmdirector is all too funny to laugh at. Anything else you are dying to
mention and I have merely forgotten to ask? Sleep
well, for now my friend. Thanks for
the interview!
