Interview with Pete Croatto at What Pete's Watching - about being a filmmaker and a film critic.

"Matt Zoller Seitz is a complex man who made a rich film about grief, loss, love, friendship, rage at God and perhaps a mini-catharsis, or catharsis as stepping stone. Did his film criticism inform that? It didn't hurt. t gave him tools for his toolbox. But also life is a hard teacher, and if you can get that into your movie work, that's a powerful thing. I'd love to work with Matt again someday."

Interview with Cinema Terror

http://cinematerror.com/interviews/interview-with-jeremiah-kipp/

"I love working with actors, and owe everything to them and their talent. For this kind of work, it’s essential to have performers who are brave, daring and sincere, who are totally committed to doing the work, who bring the rawest parts of themselves to these roles. And it doesn’t feel dangerous or scary for them. The actors have to go deep, but ultimately they are smiling and relaxed afterwards, having been through a powerful and cathartic experience. It’s actually quite healthy, which is perhaps why actors tend to live so much longer than the rest of us. They are able to express themselves fully, to play, to explore sides of themselves we don’t always find in so-called real life."
