Kier-la Janisse: Ndimagwira ntchito yamafilimu a Severin. Ndiye ndiyo ntchito yanga yatsiku lonse. Ndipo David Gregory - yemwe ndi Director of Nkhani za Uncanny - ndiye mwini wake, ndiye woyambitsa nawo makanema a Severin. Ndipo ndiye mnzake wothandizana naye, komanso ndiwabwana anga, ndiye munthu amene ndimamutumizira magawo ndikukawuza ena. Ndidayamba kugwirira ntchito Severin pafupifupi zaka zitatu zapitazo, ndikungosintha pamabhonasi awo - zoyankhulana ndi mamembala ndi zina. Koma pazaka zitatu zapitazi, ndakhala ndikusintha kuti ndipange zowonjezera zochulukirapo, ndipo zina mwa izo zinali chifukwa ndinali ndi anthu ambiri olumikizana nawo, kuyambira zaka zanga zopanga makanema ndi zinthu, komanso pochita Miskatonic Institute , yomwe ndimasukulu yopatsa mantha yomwe ndimachita, komwe ndimayenera kusungitsa aphunzitsi nthawi zonse ndikukhala ndi chidwi ndi omwe akudziwa ndi mitu yanji ndi zinthu zina. Zonsezi zidatha kukhala zothandiza pazinthu zina zowonjezera. Monga kuyesa kupeza ndemanga zotsutsa ndi anthu abwino, kapena kuyesa kutsata owongolera kapena china chilichonse. Chifukwa chake maziko omwe ndinali nawo adakhala ofunika kwambiri pazinthu zopangira kuposa mbali yosinthira, chifukwa chake ndidasunthira pamenepo. Ndipo David ndiwothandiza kwambiri kugwira naye ntchito chifukwa amamvera malingaliro anga.

Amandichitira ngati wothandizana naye, zomwe ndizabwino kwambiri. Ndipo kotero iye anali oti azimasula Malo Osewerera Bizarre, yomwe ndi kanema wanthano yemwe Severin adatulutsa zaka 10 zapitazo. Chifukwa chake chinali chopanga choyambirira - timagawana kwambiri mitu yamakalata, koma nthawi zina timapanganso zoyambilira, chifukwa chake iyi ndiimodzi mwazo. Ndipo chinali chikondwerero cha 10, chifukwa chake akuchimasula pa buluu koyamba, ndipo amafuna kukhala ndi zingapo zapadera. Ndipo kotero adali ndi lingaliro lofuna kuchita chiwonetsero cha bonasi chomwe chinali pafupi mbiri yamakanema achikhalidwe ambiri. Poyambirira, adangokhala ndi wolemba mbiri yakale, a David Del Valle, kenako adaganiza, pali mabowo ochepa, mwina titha kupeza anthu ena angapo kuti akwaniritse zolemba zina zatsopano komanso momwe zinthu ziliri anasintha, potengera kuti iwo ali ngati chiwonetsero cha owongolera omwe akutuluka tsopano ndi zinthu, monga momwe mawonekedwe amagwiritsidwira ntchito tsopano. 

Chifukwa chake ndidapereka lingaliro, bwanji simutenga - Bruce Hallenbeck, chifukwa ndi katswiri wa Amicus. Adalemba mabuku angapo onena za Amicus, ndipo popeza anali magawo akulu kwambiri munkhani ya anthology, zingakhale bwino kukhala ndi katswiri wa Amicus mmenemo. Ndipo Amanda Reyes, katswiri wa kanema wawayilesi, kuti athe kuyankhula zonse za Dan Curtis kenako nthano iliyonse yakanema akuwonetsa kuti timalowamo. Ndipo ndimakhala ngati, Mick Garris, chifukwa sanangokhala kwanthawi yayitali kotero kuti adayamba ngati kufunsa anthu zamanyazi asanakhale wopanga makanema. Koma wapanganso fayilo ya Akatswiri Amantha Kanema wa TV, adatulutsa Kanema Wowopsa, yomwe yangotuluka chaka chatha. Chifukwa chake wakhala akutanganidwa kwambiri ndi mtundu wa anthology m'njira zambiri. Komanso, ndikuganiza kuti gig yake yoyamba yowongolera inali Amazing Stories, yomwe ndi chiwonetsero cha anthology.

Ndipo tidakhala ndi Jovanka Vuckovic chifukwa anali m'modzi mwaopanga XX, kotero anali wopanga makanema yemwe adapanga gawo la kanema wa nthano, komanso adachitapo kanthu polemba kanema wa nthano limodzi. Chifukwa chake pakati pa anthu onsewa, takhala tikufotokoza mitundu yonse yamafilimu anthology. Ndipo kotero poyambirira, ndizomwe zimayenera kukhala, tikufuna kuti anthu asanu awafunsidwe. Mafunso awo omwe munganene ndi omwe amafunsidwa mwaukadaulo mufilimuyi, chifukwa tidazilemba kale COVID. Ndipo tinkangoyamba kuganiza zakusintha kwa izi pomwe COVID idayamba. 

David anali ndi lingaliroli, anangonena, chabwino, popeza anthu amangokhala panyumba, zonse mwadzidzidzi zikhala zosavuta kuti anthu akhale mufilimuyi kuposa momwe timayesera kukonza anthu omwe ali otanganidwa ndandanda, ndipo alibe nthawi yoyendetsa kwinakwake kuti ajambulidwe ndi chilichonse. Ndidakhala ngati, mwina titha kungolumikizana nawo, ndipo amatha kupatula mphindi 15 kuti angolankhula nafe za filimu yomwe amaikonda kwambiri. Umenewo unali lingaliro la David. Chifukwa chake tili ngati mndandanda wa anthu ofuna kukhala nawo, ndipo ndikuganiza pachiyambi anali onse opanga makanema, chifukwa ndi anthu onse omwe nthawi zambiri timakhala ndi vuto lopeza chifukwa amangotanganidwa ndikupanga makanema ndi zinthu zina. Ndipo kotero pali otsutsa ochepa komanso opanga makanema ndi zinthu zina, koma ndinganene kuti ambiri aiwo ndiopanga makanema. Chifukwa chake tidangolemba mndandanda waukuluwu, kenako tidugawa pakati. Adafikira theka la anthu, ndidafikira theka la anthuwo, kenako tidangocheza nawo zazing'onozi za Zoom. Koma sindinathe kuwona momwe zonse zidzakhalire palimodzi mosangalatsa mpaka Michael Capone abwera - ndiye mkonzi wa kanema yemwe adasinthadi, ndikuganiza. Chifukwa chake ndizomwe zidayamba.

Kelly McNeely: Sindinadziwe kuti anthologies adabwerera kale, koma pali mbiri yakale yotere Nkhani Za Eerie mu 1919

Kier-la Janisse: Inenso sindinatero, moona mtima.

Kelly McNeely: Ndikufuna kufunsa, ndikutanthauza, mungatani kuti mupange kafukufuku wamtunduwu, koma zikuwoneka ngati muli ndi akatswiri ena odabwitsa. Kodi mungapeze bwanji anthu kuti abwere pa izi? 

Kier-la Janisse: Ndikutanthauza potengera ukatswiri, ndizo zonse. Ndiwo anthu omwe tidawafunsa mafunso ndikudziwa kuti pakati pawo, ali ndi chidziwitso chambiri chambiri chokhudza mbiri yamakanema owopsa komanso anthologies ambiri. Ndipo kotero padali zodabwitsa panjira, monga mudanenera, sindinazindikire kuti makanema achikhalidwe anayambiranso momwe amachitira. Sindinazindikire kuti mawonekedwe amitundu yambiri anali akale monga analili. Ndimangoganiza, ndikutanthauza, ndimadziwa Mizimu Ya Akufa. Ndipo pali makanema ena anthology ochokera nthawi imeneyo ya ma 60s, koyambirira kwa 70s, komwe amakhala ngati, owongolera odziwika ndikuwapangitsa kuti apange kanema wa nthano limodzi. Osati zowopsa kwenikweni, koma mukudziwa, mitundu yonse ya makanema. Ndipo monga Ro.Pitani paPG or 70. Chombo, kapena china chake, mukudziwa, tili ndi otsogolera osiyanasiyana, monga Fellini ndi Pasolini.

Koma ndinali nditaiwaliratu Wakufa Usiku analinso kanema wa anthology wotsogolera anthu ambiri, mukudziwa motero lingaliro lonse lomwe tili nalo la anthology lotsogolera kukhala chinthu chomwe chidabwera pambuyo pake - monga mzaka za m'ma 80 ndi zinthu - ndichachikulire kwambiri, mukudziwa. Ndipo kotero zinali zosangalatsa kwambiri. Mumaganizira za nthawi yomwe pamakhala ma anthologies awa ndipo mukuganiza, monga, chabwino, chabwino, panali gulu m'ma 70s oyambirira. Ndiyeno pali gulu pano ndi apo. Ndipo mukuganiza kuti pali malo akulu okufa kumene kuli ngati, kwazaka makumi awiri zopanda nthano zowopsa, kenako anthu omwe tikanawafunsa akanabwera ndi makanema awa, ndipo amakhala ngati, o, ayi, panali izi ndi izi izi panthawiyi. 

Chifukwa chake zinali zopitilira muyeso, ndikuganiza, kuposa momwe timaganizira momwe tidalili pomwe tidayamba. Tinaganiza kuti padzakhala nsonga zazikulu ziwiri. Koma mukudziwa kuti pali nthawi zina zomwe zimagwira ntchito kuposa zina. Koma mawonekedwe ake sanachokepo kwenikweni. Zinali zokhalapo nthawi zonse, kupyola mu kanema.

Chifukwa chake eya, inali nkhani yongofuna anthu omwe timawadziwa. Ndiosavuta ndi mafani owopsa. Ndikosavuta ndi anthu omwe amawongolera makanema oopsa, chifukwa anthu omwe amapanga makanema oopsa amakonda kukhala owopsa mafani, sichoncho? Mosiyana ndi anthu omwe amapanga masewera kapena makanema kapena zilizonse, nthawi zambiri, amangokhala owongolera, amangokonda kuwongolera, ndipo amakonda nkhani yabwino. Ndipo azinena mumtundu uliwonse womwe uli, mukudziwa. Pomwe owongolera owopsa - makamaka ngati agwirapo ntchito mobwerezabwereza muzoopsa - zimakhalapo chifukwa choti ndiwopatsa chidwi, ndipo amadziwa pang'ono za mtunduwo, mbiri ya mtunduwo, zikwangwani zamtunduwu, yemwe opanga zazikulu akhala. Ndipo kotero ndi gulu la anthu odziwa zambiri. Momwemonso anthu a sci fi, mukudziwa, mafani a sci fi ndi ofanana. Amangokhala ouma kwambiri pankhaniyi, ndipo anthu omwe amalemba kapena kutsogolera zopeka zasayansi amakonda kukhala azopeka zasayansi, ndipo anthu owopsa ndi omwewo. Chifukwa chake ngakhale anthu awa - makamaka - opanga mafilimu, mosiyana ndi omwe amatsutsa mafilimu, kapena olemba mbiri yakale, amangophika mwa iwo - amadziwa mbiri yawo - kotero anali ndi anthu onsewa. Kanemayo adangodzipanga yekha [kuseka].

Kelly McNeely: Ndizosangalatsanso, chifukwa nthawi zonse ndimangoganiza kuti tikuwona kuyambiranso kwatsopano ndi nthano zowopsa posachedwa, chifukwa pakhala mbewu yayikulu chonchi yomwe ikubwera. Komanso, ndilo lingaliro loti lakhala likuchitika mosalekeza. Pali nsonga zazing'ono ndi zigwa, monga mudanenera, koma sipanakhale nthawi yochuluka yomwe sitinakhalepo ndi nthano.

Kier-la Janisse: Inde, zowonadi. Ndikutanthauza, ndikuganiza kuti ndizofala tsopano kuti projekiti ya anthology ikhale yamtunduwu, ndi phukusili kuti liwoneke, zomwe wopanga kumene angachite ndi owongolera omwe akutuluka. Ndi chinthu chomwe chimamveka kuti chimafikirika, ndikuganiza, anthu akayamba kuchita china chake koyambirira kwa ntchito yawo, komwe kuli ngati, chabwino, ndi kanema wa mphindi 20 zokha, ndingawulande zochuluka motani? Kapena zili ngati, mukudziwa, mumayang'ana gawo lirilonse ngati kapangidwe kake kakang'ono, kenako nkumayika pamodzi, ndiye ndikutanthauza, ndikosavuta kuyandikira - ndikuganiza - kwaopanga kuposa mawonekedwe, komanso ndizosavuta kutero tengani maluso ambiri okhudzidwa, chifukwa nthawi yocheperako yodzipereka kwa aliyense. Kaya ndi ochita sewerowo, kapena wotsogolera, kapena aliyense, zili ngati, mukuwafunsa gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a zomwe mungawafunse, pazinthu zina. Ndipo kuti muthe kutenga anthu odabwitsa kwambiri.

Koma eya, ndichinthu china chomwe tikuwona tsopano popeza anthu akufuna njira zotsika mtengo, ndikuganiza, kuti apange makanema. Koma zakhalapo nthawi zonse. 

Kelly McNeely: Tsopano, mwakhala mukugwira ntchito ngati katswiri wazamtundu komanso Miskatonic Institute komanso pulogalamu yapa chikondwerero cha makanema. Ndi upangiri wanji womwe mungapatse munthu wina yemwe angafune kutenga nawo mbali mbali zamtundu woopsa, pantchito zamapulogalamu ndikuchita nawo maphunziro owopsa?

Kier-la Janisse: Kuti mukhale wamaphunziro oyipa, muyenera kungopita kusukulu, chifukwa ndi zomwe ophunzira amatanthauza. Chifukwa chake zili ngati, mutha kukhala ngati wophunzira popanda kukhala wophunzira weniweni, mutha kukhala ndi mwayi wophunzirira ntchito yanu osakhala wophunzira weniweni, koma nthawi zambiri anthu akamanena zaophunzira zamaphunziro, ndi anthu omwe amakhala ndikukhala ndikugwira ntchito mu danga limenelo. Amagwira ntchito ku yunivesite, kapena akugwira ntchito ya PhD kapena kuphunzitsa kwawo, kapena zilizonse. Koma pali zambiri zomwe ndingatchule oopsa omwe siophunzira mwaluso, omwe amaphunzira mwaluso pantchito yawo, ndipo ali ndi maphunziro okhazikika pakufufuza kwawo ndi zinthu zomwezo ndizofanana ndi zomwe maphunziro enieni angachite.

Koma ndikuganiza kuti upangiri wanga kwa aliyense ndi - makamaka pulogalamu yamakanema - zili ngati, muyenera kungozichita. Ndipo ndikutanthauza, lingaliro ili ndi losavuta kuti olemba amvetse, chifukwa amamvetsetsa kuti atha kupanga blog, ndipo amatha kulembapo. Ndipo kotero lingaliro longa, ingochitani - ingolembani, ingotengani zinthu zanu kunja uko - ndichinthu chomwe ndikuganiza kuti olemba ambiri omwe akukula angamvetse. Koma pankhani yamakanema, inunso muyenera kutero. Tsoka ilo, ndiokwera mtengo kwambiri, koma muyenera kungozichita nokha. Chifukwa, mukudziwa, ali ndi mapulogalamu onsewa tsopano., Pomwe ndimayambira kupanga makanema, kunalibe maphunziro aku yunivesite omwe mungatengere pulogalamu yamakanema kapena kuwongolera. Kupondereza sikunkaonedwa ngati chinthu choti mungapite kusukulu, mukudziwa. Ndipo tsopano pali mapulogalamu onsewa. Ndipo ndizoseketsa chifukwa muli ndi anthu onse omaliza maphunziro awo omwe akufuna kupeza ntchito, komabe muli ndi anthu 10 omwewo omwe akuyesayesa kugwira ntchito zomwe tili nazo [timaseka] ndipo sitikufuna kuwapatsa mmwamba. Ndipo ndizovuta kwambiri kupeza ntchito kudera limenelo, pokhapokha mutakhala ndi china chake chomwe chimakupangitsani kukhala apadera kwambiri. Ndipo nthawi zambiri njira yokhayo yomwe mungatsimikizire kuti muli ndi luso lapadera kapena chilichonse ndi kungozichita. 

Muyenera kuwononga ndalama zanu ndikuvala chikondwerero cha kanema kapena, mukudziwa, ngati mukufuna kuchita zotsika mtengo, ingokhalani ndi kanema usiku mu bar. Zachidziwikire panthawi ya COVID pakadali pano, pali zoperewera pazomwe tingachite potengera zochitika. Koma, ndikutanthauza, ngakhale zili choncho, mutha kukhala ndi mndandanda wamafilimu. Pali mawayilesi onse pano pa Twitch ndi zinthu zomwe zikusunthira mawayilesi - ndizosaloledwa kwathunthu, onse ndi makanema odyera - koma anthu omwe amapanga zinthuzi atha kukhala ndi pulogalamu yopyola pamenepo, chifukwa ntchito yomwe Zomwe tikuchita zikuwonekera, kukoma kwawo kumaonekera. Ndikutanthauza, ambiri aiwo ndi mapulogalamu kupitirira apo, kotero sindikuyesera kunyoza zomwe akuchita. Ndikungonena kuti anthu ayenera kuwona zomwe mungathe; sikuti akupatsani ndalama ndikuziyikira izi kumbuyo kwanu kuti muwone zomwe mungathe. Amafuna kuziwona asanakupatseni ndalamazo, komanso asanakupatseni ntchitoyi. Chifukwa chake muyenera kukhala wofunitsitsa kuzichita nokha. Khalani ndi zoyeserera zanu, kaya zikhale zaulere kapena zina zomwe zidzawononge ndalama zambiri kapena zina zilizonse. Koma ndichinthu chomwe muyenera kungodzipangira nokha. 

Sindikadalembedwa ntchito ku Alamo Drafthouse ngati wolemba mapulogalamu, ndikadapanda kuchita chikondwerero changa cha kanema. Ndinayamba chikondwerero cha makanema ku Vancouver kumapeto kwa zaka za m'ma 90. Ndipo eni ake a Alamo Drafthouse adabwera, chifukwa tinali ndi mnzathu wina yemwe adandilangiza za chikondwerero changa. Ndipo chifukwa chake adabwera kudzacheza, ndipo adandilemba ganyu kuchokera pamenepo. Sakanandilemba ntchito ndikadangopita kumene ndikufunsira kuyeserera ndikukhala ngati, o, ndili ndi digiri pamapulogalamu a kanema kapena china chake, sindikadakhala ndi ntchito imeneyo. Chifukwa chake ndili ndi chidwi, kukhala ndi chipwirikiti, kuyendetsa, kukhala ndi chitsimikizo kuti zili chonchi, uwu ndi ntchito yanga, ndi zomwe ndichite ngakhale mutandilemba ntchito kapena ayi. Ndipo ndikuganiza kuti izi zikusowa mwa anthu ambiri. 

Palibe njira yomwe angaike ndalama zawo pazinthu zina. Ndipo zili ngati, chabwino, ndiye bwanji wina angakupatseni ndalama [akuseka], ngati simuli okonzeka kuyika ndalama zanu m'maloto anu? Chifukwa chiyani mungayembekezere wina kutero, mukudziwa? Ndipo ndicho chinthu chachikulu chomwe ndinganene kwa anthu, kuyambitsa china, kuyambitsa mtundu wina wazinthu, kuyambitsa blog, kuyambitsa china chilichonse. Ndikutanthauza, mumayang'ana theka la omwe adalembera Fangoria ndi zina zotero, onse anali olemba mabulogu. Ndikutanthauza, osati achikulire omwe anali pafupi pomwe anali osindikizidwa. Koma ndikutanthauza, onse m'zaka khumi zapitazi akhala akuchokera kubulogu. Chifukwa chake zimabweretsa zinthu mukamachita zinthu nokha. 

Koma ndinganene kuti, osachita zinthu kwaulere kwa anthu ena. Ngati mungachite kwaulere, chitani pa blog yanu, tsamba lanu, mtundu wanu. Mukudziwa ngati mukufuna kuti agwiritse ntchito yaulere kunja uko kuti muwonekere, ichiteni pansi pa dzina lanu, musachite kwa wina amene akulipiritsa kuti ntchito yanu ikhale yaulere, mukudziwa? Chifukwa chake zili ngati, nthawi zambiri pantchito zanga zambiri, ndikamalemba anthu ntchito, sindimalipira anthu ambiri. Koma kwa ine, zili ngati, muyenera kungolipira anthu kena kalikonse. Makamaka ngati mukulipiritsa chilichonse pazomaliza. Ndikutanthauza, ngakhale ndi 1% ya izo zimapita kwa olemba. Simungakhale ndi mtundu wa bizinesi kutengera olemba popanda olemba kulembedwa ngati zomwe muyenera kulipira.

Kotero, ndicho chinthucho. Yambitsani zinthu zanu, koma osagwira ntchito kwaulere. Sindikusamala ngati wina sanamvepo za inu, simungagwire ntchito yaulere. Ngati mupanga ntchitoyi, ichiteni patsamba lanu lomwe muli ndi dzina lanu. Ndi zomwe ndimayesetsa nthawi zonse kuchita. Ndimachita zinthu zaulere nthawi zonse, koma ndi zanga zokha.
