Creative Talent Connections Podcast - James Moran


CREATIVE TALENT CONNECTIONS - JAMES MORAN

("Severance" & "Crazy For You" writer James Moran with myself)

Last night I was lucky to attend a screening of "Slice and Dice: The Slasher Film Forever") directed by Scottish filmmaker Callum Waddell, with a Q and A from horror legends James Moran and Norman J Warren after. Classic horror film "Intruder" preceded it and it was great to see it for the first time and on the big screen too. 

Afterwards I was able to grab James for a 10 minute interview, asking him about his career and for advice for budding writers. He said some very, very important things and it's worth a listen if you are thinking about getting into the TV/feature film writing game. 

I highly recommend you go and watch Cockneys Versus Zombies and Tower Block, both written by James, and stunning pieces of work.

("Threesome" and "Doctor Who" writer Tom Macrae)

During the Glasgow Film Festival this year I was also able to grab Tom Macrae, writer of hit Comedy Central series "Threesome" and "Doctor Who", who also gave some invaluable advice for writers. 

The aim is to bring in a Scottish writer for an interview in a future podcast so we can put together a writers special podcast and get it online for you all to hear.

Our next podcast is recording in April 20th with actor Colin McCredie and producer/director Michael Hines. 

Now back to pushing and working on pre-production for my own short, "One Year Later"
