Can you tell me about what this project is that you're here with, and, uh, why you're at Screamfest with it?

Until The End is a short film that's a part romantic drama, kind of, and a horror film that ends with a beheading.

Excellent, and have you had films, uh, show at Screamfest previously?

Oh, some of us have, like Ms. Gina.

That's right

...

John reached out to me and he's like, "I just read this short film.

I think you'd be really, uh, good to direct.

Would you be willing to, uh, to, to meet with Zena?" And I did my due diligence and kind of went on Facebook and saw all the people we knew in common.

Uh, 90% of them were theater people.

And, uh, and uh, I read the script.

So, yeah

And the fact that you didn't have a whole bunch of characters that you had to try to keep track of, unless you're referring to like characters that are just there for fodder, which honestly, I don't know if I really would have wanted that either.

Yeah.

In a movie like this, I don't think, I mean, I haven't gone back and reread those original drafts.

It'd be kind of interesting to do it now.

But yeah, it was too many characters, you know, and I mean, David was writing, you know, with a budget in mind, but not like it wasn't his job to, to hit a budget number.

That's not his job at all.

And so, you know, like he was going for maximum spectacle.

You're not supposed to get the answer.

Is Uber the best way to head to your hotel? Is it public transportation? How easy or difficult is that in Sydney?

Great question.

Uh, it is a common question on the forum as well, so to- people do ask that a lot, about how to get from the airport to their accommodation.

So if you're traveling solo, the train is probably the most convenient way of doing that because you basically pay for one person.

Um, if you're traveling as a, a couple, then essentially it might be, uh, worthwhile to check the price for Uber.

There are public buses that are available too that will come up on the Google Maps.

They tend to be, uh, quite inconvenient, but, uh, you will save, uh, a fair amount of money.

What do you feel like is the most anxiety-inducing thing for runners coming from abroad?
