Meet the Filmmaker: Al Vigil, “The Bout”

Posted on by efpdenver

Q: Why did you become a filmmaker?
AV: I am a filmmaker because I am always bored and films seemed exciting. I love to do it.

Q: What are we going to see at the EFP? Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?
AV: This is a film I worked on for a couple years after graduation. It’s not been in any festivals besides this so this is technically its World Screen Premeire! It was on a web show actually. Not a screen yet however.

Q: What else are you working on?
AV: I’m working on an experimental music video, an animated adaptation of an obscurer Arabian Night, and I do oil painting. I want to do something westerny in the brush.

The Bout will screen during The Emerging Filmmakers Project 20th Anniversary Celebration on Thursday, June 16th, 2022 at The Bug Theatre.

Meet the Filmmaker: Al Vigil, “Ducks ‘A Million!”

Posted on by efpdenver

Q: Why did you become a filmmaker?
AV: I’ve always loved movies! I’ve wanted to be a cartoonist or filmmaker or something for most of my life. They’re a lot of fun to plan and dissect, like a little optical puzzle box you build.

Q: What are we going to see at the EFP? Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?
AV: Ducks ‘A Million! It was my thesis film, it’s played here before and in New South Wales somewhere.

Q: What else are you working on?
AV: Right now I’m working on another film with the same Orange Duck Character, where he’s in a boxing match against an enormous bull. Look for that one soon (ish), I’ve finished about three minutes of that and I’m shooting to be done by may.

Q: Tell us one weird thing about you and/or your movies?
AV: One weird thing is my movies aren’t cartoons, they’re all real and actually happened.

Q: Where can people go to find out more about you and your work?
AV: go to alvigilportfolio.club for my films or duckcomics.world for my comics

Q: Is there anything you’d like to say about EFPalooza or The Emerging Filmmakers Project?
AV: EFP…..es bueno!

Ducks ‘A Million! will screen Saturday, February 23rd at 6:00 p.m. at The Bug Theatre as part of the Experimental & Animated Shorts block during the 2019 EFPalooza Film Festival.
