Tinkapanga kanema, tinali pafupifupi masiku 10 kuti tisankhe makamera a makamera ndikupanga zomanga, kenako mgwirizano wa Disney udadutsa. Ndipo mwadzidzidzi, panali ngati mafilimu asanu ndi atatu omwe anagwetsedwa, ndipo imodzi mwa izo inali yathu. Kotero ife tinachoka - ngati mungaganizire - zaka zinayi zoyesera kupeza ndalama kuti mupange filimu, "ife tsopano tikupanga filimu ndi mamiliyoni a madola!", Ndiyeno, palibe. Kotero izo zakhala zodzigudubuza. 

Chinali chimodzi mwazinthu zomwe - ndikuganiza ndi opanga mafilimu ambiri - mumangoyesa kudzikoka nokha. Ndipo mnzanga, Shelley, anali asanapangepo kalikonse, ndipo ndinali nditangopanga mafilimu aafupi okha. Tinkakhala ngati, tinali ndi ndalama zingapo zosungira, kotero tidayika izo.

Ngakhale tili ku UK, ndipo chinthu chimodzi ndinachipeza chomwe chinali chosiyana kwambiri pakati pa UK ndi America; tinalowa mu Frightfest ndi zikondwerero zambiri, ndipo taonani, pamene wina aliyense kupatula agogo anu akunena kuti munachita bwino? Ndizozizira. Ndipo kulowa mu Macabre ndi Fright Fest ndi Popcorn Frights… tinali ngati, izi ndizabwino, sichoncho? Koma ndinapita kwa opanga mafilimu chakudya chamadzulo ku Frightfest ndipo ndinakhala ndi mnyamata uyu wa ku America wozizira kwambiri yemwe anali atamaliza filimu yake. Ndi kanema wamkulu. Ndipo timalankhula za kupanga mafilimu ang'onoang'ono a bajeti, monga momwe mumachitira. Ndipo anali ngati, eya, tinali ndi $ 1.2 miliyoni okha. Ndikupita, zoona?! Ndi bajeti yaying'ono kwa inu? Anatsika ndege, ndipo ndinatsika basi. Linali lingaliro losiyana kwambiri la zomwe bajeti yaying'ono inali.

Kotero eya, ndikuphunzirabe. Ndi filimu yanga yoyamba. Ndipo zomwe takhala nazo zakhala zabwino, ndipo anthu akuwoneka kuti akuganiza kuti ili ndi mtengo weniweni wopanga, ndiye mukudziwa ndipo amazikonda kotero ndi zabwino. 

Kelly McNeely: Kotero kachiwiri, izi zikubwerera ku Wokonzeka zomwe timakambirana m'mbuyomu, koma ndimakonda mtundu wakumbuyo kwa umunthu wa Warrens komweko komwe muli nako kopanda pake, kosokoneza.

Adam Ethan Crow: Zinali chimodzimodzi! Inde! Takhala ndi anthu ochepa omwe sanagwirepo chonchi, koma ndizowona, amalowa mkati ndipo amakhulupirira zonse, bwanji tikanakhala ndi mnyamata yemwe analidi, sindimakhulupirira izi koma tiyeni tiwone ngati. Ndipo chinthu chinanso kwa ine chinali, m'mafilimu ambiri owopsa mumakhala ndi anyamata owopsa, nthawi zonse monga pamithunzi, monga "Ndine woyipa chifukwa ndine woyipa", ndipo ndimakhala ngati, bwanji ngati titha kukhala ndi chifukwa chochitira izo, koma amakhala ngati akuzichita mwatheka. Iye si caricature woyipa uyu. 

Imodzi mwamafilimu omwe ndimawakonda kwambiri - monga momwe mungadziwire pojambula pazithunzi - ndi Zowopsa pa Elm Street. M'magawo omwe tili ndi izi, zomwe mwachiwonekere zimamugwedeza, ndipo Freddy Krueger nthawi zonse amakhala ndi ma liner awa. Ndinkaganiza ngati nditagwira munthu yemwe ngati sukudziwa kuti ndi oyipa, ukhoza kumwa naye mowa. Zinali ngati zoseketsa. Ndipo ndizomwe tidabwera nazo. 

Kelly McNeely: Polankhula za munthuyo, Corey Johnson ndiwabwino kwambiri Pewani, ndi zochuluka bwanji zomwe anali kuzibweretsa pawindo, ndipo ndi zochuluka bwanji zomwe zinali kale pa tsamba ndi script?

Adam Ethan Crow:  Ndinadalitsidwa kwambiri chifukwa adapanga filimu yanga yayifupi pomwe anali ku UK akujambula Kingsman, ndipo anandipatsa masiku awiri, sindimamudziwa. Ndipo adabwera ndipo tidawombera filimu yotchedwa Warhol. Ndipo iye anali wodabwitsa, ndipo tinangokhala mabwenzi. Ali nawo kwawo kuno komanso kumaiko. Ndipo kotero ine ndinalemba khalidwe ndi iye mu malingaliro. Chifukwa chake mizere ina ndi yanga, koma palinso monga, ndikuganiza akuti, "Amayi a Dragons!" kapena chinachake panthawi ina, kotero panali mizere ina yomwe adangobwera nayo pa ntchentche. 

Ndipo iyinso ndi filimu yanga yoyamba. Chifukwa chake tikugwira ntchito ndi winawake, ochita zisudzo omwe tinali nawo, ndipo zinali zamwayi. Mukudziwa? Chifukwa kachiwiri, mukudziwa, aliyense amene anagwira ntchito Pewani adalipidwa, aliyense kuyambira othamanga mpaka ma HOD. Koma palibe amene adapeza zomwe akanayenera kulipidwa. Ndikutanthauza, ndi kanema kakang'ono ka bajeti. Mukudziwa, aliyense ali ndi chinachake, aliyense anadyetsedwa. Koma sizinali choncho - ndikutanthauza, anthu omwe tinali ndi mwayi wogwira nawo ntchito ngati Corey, moona mtima, analibe chifukwa chokhala mmenemo kupatula kuti ankafuna kukhala nawo. Pewani ndipo ndimaganiza kuti ndi khalidwe losangalatsa.

Koma amadza ndi zinthu, pali mfundo imodzi komanso Aislinn [De'Ath] ndi Elena [Wallace] - omwe amasewera banjali - pali mfundo imodzi yomwe ndidawerenga mbali zonse ndikupita, zokambiranazi ndizopanda pake, izi. tsamba silili bwino. Ndipo ndinapita kwa iwo ndipo ndinati, anyamata, ndipulumutseni, zomwe ndalemba sizikugwira ntchito. Ndipo iwo anapita, chabwino bwino. Ndipo iwo anapanikizana. Inali mbali yomwe amakangana mu corridor Joey atacheza ndi anyamata aja. Zinatuluka bwino kuposa chilichonse chomwe ndinali nacho patsamba. Ndikuganiza, pamlingo uwu wa bajeti, ngati muli ndi mwayi wopeza anthu pamlingo wotere, ngati ali okonzeka kubwera kudzathandiza - ndipo aliyense adagwirizana nawo - mumathamanga nawo. 

Ndikutanthauza, tili ndi Oded [Fehr] chifukwa Corey anatero The Malemu ndi Oded, ndipo akhala abwenzi kwa zaka zambiri, ndipo Corey adati, ndakhala ndikugwira ntchito pa kanema kakang'ono aka, palibe ndalama, ndipo Oded anali akujambula. Kufufuza kwa Star Trek. Ndipo iye anali ngati, ine ndiri ndi masiku asanu akubwera. Mukufuna ndibwere ku England? Inde! Ndipo sitinamuwuluke kalasi yoyamba kapena chirichonse. Anakhala m'nyumba ya Corey ndipo adatembenuka natiwombera ndikubwerera - sindikufuna kukuwuzani zochepa - koma tinali ndi anthu ochuluka ngati amenewo. Ankapita ndani, tiyeni tingonena nkhani yosangalatsa bambo. 

Chifukwa ndi zomwe tinkayesera kuchita, kunena nkhani zosangalatsa zomwe zinali zosiyana, ndi kutaya mantha abwino. Inde, ambiri anali Corey. Ambiri anali Aislinn. Ndipo Anya [Newall] anali wodabwitsa, anali asanakhalepo mu kanema, anali atangochitako pang'ono. Lara [Mount] - yemwe adasewera kamtsikana kakang'ono - anali asanachitepo kalikonse, adangochita sewero la kusukulu. Zinali zopenga. Ambiri anali anthu odabwitsa, ndikuthandizira, zomwe ndikuganiza kuti ndi uthenga pomwe pano. 

Kelly McNeely: Ngakhale m'mawu otsegulira, muli nayo ngati "filimu yopangidwa ndi banja la opanga mafilimu", yomwe ndimaganiza kuti inali yabwino kwambiri chifukwa imalankhula ndi mgwirizano womwe mukunena. 

Adam Ethan Crow: Chifukwa chakuti anthuwa ankandichepetsa, ndinaphunzira zambiri. Mukayang'ana makanema anga afupiafupi, ndachitapo zingapo zomwe zinali zazitali mphindi 20, ndipo talandira ulemu, zidayenda bwino kwambiri. Ndipo pa iwo, ndidachita zomwe anthu ambiri amachita; Ndinalemba filimuyo, ndinawongolera kanema, iyi inali filimu ya Adam Ethan Crow. Koma ndi masiku atatu kapena anayi, tidawombera izi m'masiku 21 ndi kamera imodzi popanda ndalama. Ndipo pamenepo, gaffer analinso malo, [wotsogolera zithunzi] wanga anali wopanga nawo komanso DP, ndimapeza khofi, ndipo ndine wotsogolera, sichoncho? Kotero zimakhala ngati, ndinatulukamo ndipo ndinazindikira kuti sindimakhulupirira chiphunzitso cha auteur. Pokhapokha ngati mukupeza khofi, ngati mukupanga positi, ngati mukuchita chilichonse… Ndikuganiza kuti muyenera masomphenya amodzi. Koma pafilimu iliyonse yomwe ndimachita, ndipo ngati ndili ndi mwayi wochita kanema wina - zikuwoneka ngati ndidzakhala - sikhala ndi filimu yanga, ikhala filimu ya anthu onse omwe akukhudzidwa. 

Ndinadabwa ndi aliyense. Ndipo kukhala ndi "filimu ya Adam Ethan Crow" kutsogolo sikungamve bwino. Inu mukudziwa, tinali tonsefe. Ndipo mpaka pomwe VFX zotsatira zake ndi zinthu ngati izi zidachitidwa ndi mnzanga, Tristan [Versluis]. Ndipo Tristan anali wondigwiritsa ntchito ku DIT pa kanema wanga woyamba wachidule, adapita kukachita SFX, ndipo adachita bwino kwambiri, akuchita bwino. Ndipo anatipatsa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Iye anati, taonani, ine ndimasewera ndi chilombo chanu, ine ndikumangirani icho. Ndili ndi masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo ndizo zonse zomwe ndingathe kuchita, ndipo tili ngati, zabwino. Amakhala ku Barcelona ndipo adabwera, ndipo tidamuyika mu Airbnb ya dodgy. Ndipo iye anabwera kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri, ife mochuluka tangomulipirira zida zake, ndipo iye anamanga cholengedwa chathu ndi kuchita prosthetics wathu ndi kupha kwathu ndi zonse izo. Kenako anayenera kupita ku America. Ndipo ndinali ngati, chabwino, chabwino, kodi mukuyamba kanema wina ku States? Ndipo anali ngati, ayi, ndangosankhidwa kumene kuti ndikhale ndi Oscar, ndiye ndichita zimenezo. Ndipo ine ndinali ngati, chiyani?! Za 1917, anali atangosankhidwa kumene mu Oscar wa VFX. Anali ngati, taonani, ndimatha kuzikwanira pazomwe ndikuchita. Ndipo zomwe ukulipira, mzanga, iwenso uli ndi ngongole kwa ine botolo la vinyo.

Ndipo zinali ngati moona mtima, mulibe lingaliro. Ndine wokhumudwa ndi anthu omwe adandithandiza. Ndipo mwamwayi, zikuwoneka ngati mothandizidwa ndi Zithunzi za 1091, chifukwa zakhala zodabwitsa, moona mtima, tikuwoneka ngati tili ndi ndalama za kanema wina, zomwe tidzachita mu February, ndipo nthawi ino tili. kuwabweretsa iwo onse, ndipo ife tikhoza kwenikweni kulipira iwo moyenera. Sayenera kukhala ndi moyo pa pizza. Ndi zabwino bwanji zimenezo? Kulondola. Ndiye chifukwa chake imanena zomwe imachita kutsogolo, ndipo chilichonse chomwe ndingachite, imanenanso chimodzimodzi. Zowona, mwayi wogwira ntchito ndi anthu ena abwino.

Kelly McNeely: Zabwino zonse pafilimu yotsatira! Ndipo kungolumphira ku zotsatira zake. Kodi zotsatira za mufilimuyi ndizothandiza bwanji? Kodi zonsezi zinakhalako bwanji? 

Adam Ethan Crow: Zambiri za izo zinachitidwa mwachiwonekere. Mwachiwonekere panali zinthu zina mmenemo zomwe anthu amawulukira mumlengalenga ndikuphwanyidwa ndi zinthu. Kotero chinthu chamtunduwu chinali chosakaniza zonse ziwiri. Zinalinso zosangalatsa, chifukwa mwachitsanzo, sindikufuna kuwononga chilichonse, koma m'modzi mwa anthuwo akamwalira, zambiri zinali zothandiza, ndiyeno tinkabweretsa nsalu yoyika ziwalo zina zathupi. kotero ife tikhoza kuchotsa miyendo kapena kukokera chinachake pambali kapena chirichonse. Kenako popanga positi, George [Petkov] atenga udindo ndikuchita VFX. Kotero kunali kusakaniza kwa onse awiri njira yonse. 

Emily Haigh ndi ndani Pewani, yemwe ali wodabwitsa. Anatsika ndikumuwombera mbali zake. Ndiyeno pambuyo pake, pali chithunzi chachikulu cha VFX naye pomwe ali pamwamba pa zovala. Ndipo izo zinawomberedwa kwenikweni mnyumba ya bwenzi pabedi lobiriwira ndi zinthu zong'ambika ndi zinthu monga choncho. Kenako George adachigwira ndikuchiyika pamodzi momwe chiyenera kukhalira. Tidamaliza kuwombera ngati tsiku lomwe COVID-6 idatsekedwa ku UK. Ndipo kachiwiri, izi ndi zomwe ndaphunziranso, tidawombera pa XNUMXK kuti tichite bwino ndikukongoletsa. 

Ndiye Trevor [Brown] adachita bwino Pewani kwa ife pamalo otchedwa Likasa.” Ndipo sitinathe kumupeza, koma iye anachitadi. Anapanga filimu yaing'ono yotchedwa World nkhondo Z, ndipo ndikuganiza kuti anatero Mission: Zosatheka. Ndipo iye anadwaladi nthawi ina kupyolera mu izo, ndipo iye anazichitabe izo. Ndikutanthauza, tauzidwa kuti ikuwoneka ngati filimu yoyenera ya situdiyo, mukudziwa, mawonekedwe ndi mawonekedwe ake. Ndipo, kachiwiri, anali anthu awa omwe adangobwera palimodzi, adatenga zomwe adachita, ndipo makamaka mu kamera - ndipo mwachiwonekere ndi zotsatira zake - adapanga kupha ndi zomwe zidachitika kumeneko.

Kelly McNeely: Kupanga mafilimu mwachiwonekere ndikukukondani kwambiri, chinakupangitsani chiyani kuti mupange mafilimu? Kodi chinakubweretsani ku filimu yamtundu wanji, ndipo nchiyani chimakulimbikitsani?

Adam Ethan Crow: Ndakhala ndimakonda mafilimu. Anthu ambiri amatero ndipo ambiri a ife timatero, timakulira pa izo. Ndine wokonda kwambiri mtundu, chifukwa kwa ine, ngati ndiwonera kanema iliyonse ngati ili yabwino, komanso ndimawonera makanema oyipa ndikuwona zabwino mwa iwo. Chifukwa aliyense amene amamaliza filimu? Pomwepo. Pali nyenyezi zisanu kunja kwa khomo, chifukwa ndizovuta kwambiri kuti zitheke. Ndipo chifukwa chomwe ndimakonda mtundu uli ngati, ndi nthabwala komanso zowopsa pali zomwe zimachitika nthawi yomweyo. Ngati muwona chinachake chowopsya, mumalumpha, mukamva nthabwala zoseketsa, mumaseka. Ndipo kotero ine ndimakonda kufulumira kwake. Koma chinthu chimodzi chomwe ndimakonda pamtundu wamtunduwu ndikuti mafani owopsa ndiabwino kwambiri. Tinalowa mu zikondwerero zazikulu monga Frightfest, Macabre ndi zina. Koma ngati mukuchita mantha, mukudziwa, mudzawona wina atavala chovala chakuda ndi eyeliner m'basi chifukwa ndi Lachiwiri, chifukwa ndi zomwe akufuna kuchita. Ndi momwe amamvera. Pali kufotokozera kwa izo, timakhala ngati tili ndi chikhalidwe china, timakokera ku mbiriyakale.

Zili ngati mukalowa m'mafilimu amtundu wina - makamaka zoopsa - mumakhala wolemba mbiri. Mupita, o, izi zidachitika, ndipo mumalankhula za zotsatira zake, ndipo zili ngati, ndidatero. Pewani, A Nightmare pa Elm Street zinali zazikulu kwa ine. Pamene ndinawona koyamba - yoyamba - ndinabwera kunyumba ndipo ndinalowa pabedi. Ngati mukukumbukira zochitikazo, pali gawo la Freddie lomwe likutsamira pakhoma. Ndidagunda khoma langa ndisanagone, chifukwa zimakhala ngati mphira, pomwe amangotsamira pabedi. Ndipo ndinagunda khoma kuti ndipite, chabwino, eya ndizolimba. 

Ndikuganiza kuti mumayikamo ndalama. Ndiponso anthunso; mukamapita ku FrightFest kapena kulikonse, mumapita ku zikondwerero zoopsa, monga Hex After Dark anali wamisala ku Canada, ndipo Macabre anali ndi anthu 45,000 omwe amawonera nthawi ya COVID. Ndizo misala eti? Kwa masiku 10, Mexico City imaperekedwa kwa mzinda wa ife openga, ovala ngati Jason kapena chinachake. Ndi misala. Koma, eya, zimakhala ngati, ndakhala ndikuwuziridwa nazo. Ndipo ndikuganizanso kuti, mukudziwa, awa ndi mtundu wa anthu omwe amapita ku zikondwerero izi, ndipo mwakhala pamenepo ndipo mukuyankhula za zoopsa, ndiye mudzakhala mukukambirana, sindikudziwa, ndangopeza mphaka watsopano. Koma mukuyankhula ndi Jason Voorhees za chinachake ndi munthu yemwe wangotenga nkhwangwa m'mutu mwawo. 

Ndikuganiza kuti ndi mawu enieni enieni a - amamveka ngati opusa kapena odzitukumula - mawonekedwe aluso. Mumapeza anthu omwe amapanga filimu, monga Ntchito ya Blair Witch, zomwe zinali zodabwitsa. Zinasintha masewera onse kwa aliyense. Ndipo ndi misala. Ndipo izo zinapangidwira monga, osati ndalama zambiri. Ndiyeno pali Ntchito Yophatikiza, ndi zinthu monga The Exorcist ndi A Nightmare pa Elm Street. Koma zimakhudza zosankha zanu. Choncho pamene tinapanga Lair, inenso ndimakonda zinthu ngati chinthu, zazikulu za Hollywood kumene mungathe kuwona cholengedwa ndikuwona kupha. Kotero mwachitsanzo, ngakhale pali gawo la Pewani zomwe zapeza zojambula, pali zochitika zomwe anyamata akuyang'ana zojambulazo m'chipindamo, ndipo kamera imadutsa pazenera, ndiyeno tikhoza kuyang'ana bwino. 

Chifukwa ndimaganizanso, sizingakhale zabwino ngati tiwona kuphana kapena kupha kukuchitika, sizili m'malo otsekedwa, ngati gawo lokhazikika, kamera yowunikira. Mukudziwa, ndikufuna kuwona pamene chinthu ichi chikuukira. Ndipo kotero tidaganiza ngati titha kulowa mkatimo, kudzera mu kamera, kudzera pazenera, ndiye kuti omvera akuyenda bwino, tsopano tikuwona zomwe zidachitika panthawiyo, m'malo mongodula pakati pazithunzi ndi makanema ndi zinthu. Izi zidabwera chifukwa chokonda makanema awa ndikuwawonera ndikupita, chabwino, ndikufuna chiyani. Mu Wokonzeka, Ndikufuna kuwona zomwe zimachitika mchipindamo ndi chidole. Ndikawonera kwambiri makanema apakanema awa, ndimafuna kuwona zomwe zimachitika pomwe cholengedwa chikuukira. Ndipo chifukwa ndikumanga dziko langa, ndimatha kuchita zimenezo. 

Kelly McNeely: Ngati mungapangire makanema atatu owopsa - kapena makanema atatu amtundu - kwa wina, kaya ndi wokonda kwanthawi yayitali ndipo mumangoganiza kuti ndi makanema abwino kwambiri, kapena kwa munthu yemwe sanachite nawo zamtunduwu m'mbuyomu ndipo amafunikira zabwino. poyambira. Kodi mungapangire chiyani kwa wina, monga, awa ndi makanema atatu omwe muyenera kuwonera? 

Adam Ethan Crow: Ndikanati… Penyani, The Exorcist wakhala ali kwa nthawi yayitali. Koma ndi amodzi mwa makanema amenewo sikuti ndi okhawo omwe adasankhidwa kukhala Oscar - onaninso ndichinthu, mumaphunzira zowopsa mukalowamo - komanso, nkhaniyo ndi yeniyeni. Mukawona mafilimu ambiri masiku ano, anthu amapita, chabwino, chifukwa chiyani nonse munagawanika kuti muyang'ane chilombocho? Ndithudi inu muyenera kukhala pamodzi. Zinthu zazing'ono ngati mu Wotulutsa ziwonetserozi, pamene amayi akuyesera kuti apeze chithandizo, ndipo iye akupita kwa wansembe, ndipo iwo amapita, chabwino musaganize kuti ine ndachita zimenezo. Amapanga zosankha zomveka mmenemo. Ndipo kwa ine, ndi nkhani yofotokozedwa bwino kwambiri. 

Ndinakumana ndi wotsogolera wotchuka kwambiri kanthawi kapitako, ndipo adanena kwa ine, pamene mupanga mafilimu anu, zomwe mukufuna ndi nkhani yabwino yomwe inanenedwa bwino. Nthawi zina zimanenedwa pa iPhone, kapena nthawi zina zakuda ndi zoyera, kapena ndi nyimbo, koma ingondiuzani nkhani. Zonsezi ndi nkhani chabe eti? Ndipo inu mukudziwa, kwa ine, izo zinalidi zolimbikitsa. Kotero ine ndithudi ndinena The Exorcist. Ndipo izo ziyenera kukhala A Nightmare pa Elm Street, chifukwa chimenecho chinali chinthu chomwe chinandigwedeza kwambiri ndikundipangitsa kuganiza za zinthu zingapo. Ndiyeno pali, ndinganene, mafilimu awiri. Chimodzi mwa izo, chomwe ndimaganiza kuti chidachita bwino - chifukwa mwachiwonekere nditha kubwereranso Ntchito ya Blair Witch, zomwe, mwachiwonekere, zonsezi ndizo zachikale - koma ngati ndikuganiza kunja kwa bokosi, ndinganene kuti panali filimu yotchedwa Kutulutsidwa kwa Mpatuko Wotsirizira. Kodi inu munayamba mwamuwonapo ameneyo?

Kelly McNeely: Ndimakonda ameneyo.

Adam Ethan Crow: Zinali zabwino bwanji?! Zinali zabwino kwambiri. Ndinu ngati mukupita, sichoncho? Ndi chiyani? Pakuti momwe iwo ankachitira izo, momwe iwo ankawombera izo ndi zina, izo kwa ine zinachitidwa bwino kwambiri. Ndiyeno ina, yomwe si filimu yowopsya kwenikweni, ingakhale Kuitana. Uku kunali kuwombera kwinanso kwa mazana angapo akuluakulu m'nyumba imodzi. Ndipo ndikukhulupirira moona mtima kuti izi zikadakhala zazikulu, koma osati anthu ambiri omwe amazidziwa pokhapokha mutadziwa. Koma kachiwiri, mazana angapo aakulu, anawombera mu masabata angapo, m'nyumba imodzi. Ndipo ndi filimu yabwino kwambiri, ndipo kukangana kumakhala bwino. Ndipo kotero ine ndikanati fufuzani izo. Koma ndinganenenso… penyani Pewani. PewaniZabwino kwambiri.

Kelly McNeely: Kodi munapindula chiyani kwambiri popanga filimuyi, kapena nthawi yanu yonyadira kwambiri monga wopanga filimuyi yomwe ili ngati gawo lanu loyamba? 

Adam Ethan Crow: Nthawi yanga yonyada kwambiri - ndipo iyi ndi manja pansi - ndi Shelley [Atkin] yemwe sanapangepo chilichonse padziko lapansi - ndipo amakhala mnzanga komanso m'moyo - akubwera kudzandithandiza, chifukwa adandiuza kuti ndi liti kwa anthu anayiwo. Zaka zomwe ndimayesera kuti ndipange, adati zomwe mukufunikira ndi wopanga m'modzi kuti mukhulupirire, ndipo muzichita. Zinapezeka kuti anali mkonzi mmodzi, ngakhale panthawiyo sanali. 

Koma zonse, ndinganene kuponya, chifukwa tinapangadi mu November 2019. Tinawombera kwa masiku 21, kamera imodzi, popanda ndalama, pakati pa London, mzinda wamtengo wapatali. Ndipo pamene tidapita kukaponya, tidaganiza - ndipo ngakhale dziko likusintha, ndikukhala bwino ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana ndikutsegula dziko lapansi - tidanena bwino, tipereka anthu abwino kwambiri pantchitoyi. Kotero mwachitsanzo, muwona kuti pali banja lachikazi, sichoncho? Tinapita kwa oponya, ndipo tinati udindo uwu ndi Carl kapena Carly, chifukwa kwenikweni ndi mkazi amene wasudzulidwa ndi banja, ndipo iye tsopano mu ubale watsopano. Zilibe kanthu ngati ubale uli ndi mwamuna kapena mkazi, Carl kapena Carly. Momwemonso ndi ana. Ndi wazaka 16, koma Joey akhoza kukhala Josephine kapena Joe, zilibe kanthu.

Izo sizimapanga kusiyana kulikonse ku kanema. Ndiye tiyeni tingotenga aliyense ndikuwona zomwe zikuchitika. 

Tili ndi amuna omwe amabwera kwa Carl, ndi Joey. Tinamaliza kutulutsa anthu abwino kwambiri patsikulo, ndipo onse anali akazi. Ndipo tidachita izi ndi ogwira nawo ntchito. Chifukwa chake 40% ya ma HOD athu adadziwika kuti ndi azimayi. Pamene tinachita zochitika za Gay Pride. Tidapita ku bungwe lowonjezera la LGBTQ kotero kuti aliyense amene analipo anali wowona.
