ZP International's Hell-ephone was actually the first independent film I
had ever worked on. Indie film is an entirely different world. The cool
thing about indie film is that there is a lot more room to experiment.
Hollywood steals all of its fresh ideas from backyard filmmakers.
We filmed my scene in a hot schoolhouse in Irvine, Kentucky. It was
July and there was no air conditioning on. Naturally, this lead to the
most pleasant of circumstances.
Hell-ephone was directed by George Bonilla. George is a terrific guy
with a great creative mind. He is also a maniac. It is a chore trying to
keep up with him.
ZP International does have this fantastic method of filming. The use
two cameras for each shot, cutting production time in half. I have often
wondered what someone like Bonilla could do with a million dollar
budget.
