Get to know the filmmaker:

1. What motivated you to make this film?

We wanted to make a film that we could make on an iPhone where we could almost use a 'Guerrilla filmmaking' style to the shooting in a day or two. I came up with the idea of Sneeze after a huge sneeze that made me forget for a second where I was...and then the idea of transportation from a sneeze came.

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

It took us two days to film, one day to write and a day edit. Four days in all.

3. How would you describe your film in two words!?

Teleportation Sneezing.

4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film?

The last shot was in the sea with Fiona drowning. But me and Maya were in there as well on a very windy day. The sun only came out for a couple of seconds so we had to be quick and not drown. But when we finished we were so happy. I have a photo to prove it.

5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?

Amazing comments and such insightful thoughts about the film. We felt humbled and so very pleased. Thank you.

6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films?

From an early age playing about with a 1980's video camera. I love the medium of telling a story visually and seeing how far you can go without words.

7. What film have you seen the most in your life?

So hard. Goodfellers, The good, the bad and the ugly spring to mind. Lately it's been The Dark Knight and Field of Dreams.

8. What other elements of the festival experience can we and other festivals implement to satisfy you and help you further your filmmaking career?

I love the audience feedback video. Brilliant

9. You submitted to the festival via FilmFreeway. How has your experiences been working on the festival platform site?

Excellent

10. What is your favorite meal?

Vegan Burger and Fries.

11. What is next for you? A new film?

We are looking to make another Micro Short in March. Will have a few options.
