CF: Filmmaking is one of those things I somewhat inadvertently stumbled upon when I was younger. I already had a passion for music, writing, art and photography, and film just beautifully puts all of those together. I love the technical challenge, the endless possibilities for telling the human story, and just about everything about the process.
Q: What are we going to see at the EFP? Has it screened elsewhere and what are your plans for it?
CF: “i am a photon” is a very personal little film touching on the queer identity and struggling with the liberation of body and mind. It is the first in a series of short cinematic poems (as we’re calling them), conceived mostly to hone our skills, open up our creative process with a more improvisational flow, and meeting new talented people in the Denver area. This is the first time it shows on a real screen!
Q: What else are you working on?
CF: I am currently in pre-production for another short poem, and refining a feature length screenplay to be produced here in Denver.
Q: Tell us one weird thing about you and/or your movies?
CF: I have never gotten to see The Wizard of Oz with the sound on, and I’m kind of almost okay with that.
