Interviews: An Interview with DJ Perry - By Herbert M. Brindl
Posted on Friday, May 01, 2009 @ 15:39:50 Mountain Daylight Time by Duane



DJ Perry born in Lansing, Michigan, is for sure one of the busiest independent producers, actors and screenwriters you can find out there. Once out of high school, DJ decided to attend Lansing Community College and later joined the campus of Michigan State University.  There he studied English, Theater and Communications. After graduating from MSU in 1993, he went on to become a founding member and partner of Lionheart Filmworks, LLC, a feature film development and production company. As an actor he was up for the part as Neve Cambells boyfriend in Wes Cravens Scream 2, but as always when the “money people” make decisions the part went to a well known TV star.

Mr. Perry not discouraged from this setback at all got the idea, after an Irish Pub visit in New York, to take the fight to Hollywood his way. And yes he did it his way! He founded along with Jeff Kennedy a company called Collective Development Inc, in Michigan, not in L.A. as you might expect and started producing his own stuff. So far DJ Perry at thirty something, wrote and produced over 40 movies and starred in countless more like, “Tangy Guacamole”, “The 8th Plague”, “GPS”, “Ghost Town”, “Justice for All”, just to name a few. Not to forget my personal favorite the award winning Civil War movie “Wicket Spring”. DJ also Co-owns the Michigan based post facility Imaginative Endeavors LLC. In addition to this he also serves as a director of the East Lansing Film Festival in Michigan and teaches acting workshops for TV and film, aimed to help and launch Michigan based talents.

I have to say not bad,  what has became of this young man who wanted in 1977 more than anything else in the world to be Han Solo.  Through hard work on his craft and the love he puts into his projects I’m sure we will see much more of DJ Perry in the near future.

May not the force, but the success and awards be with him, because Han Solo’s simply don’t believe in and need the force, re(a)wards are just enough for them!

“If I have to make the hard producing decisions and stand by the results, I need control. If I don’t have control over certain elements I don’t want to be held responsible.” - DJ Perry on Producing


*   *   *

 HMB: Fist of all congratulations to all the success you’ve had since your last time here at Rogue, and thank you for giving us the opportunity to do a follow up interview with you!       
  
DJP: The pleasure is all mine. I’ve enjoyed Rogue Cinema for many years now. Informative and fair and I really enjoyed the questions from the previous interview. I still believe in the in-depth interview (Like PLAYBOY) versus trying to cobble some profile of a person from TWITTER bits or whatnot. Success is good health, being able to pay your bills and being surrounded by friends and family. Being compensated to create art such as motion picture is truly a blessed thing. So let’s get at it…


HMB: Mr. Perry, let’s pick it up where your last Rogue interview ended in 2005. Tell us about the award winning western “Ghost Town”, which you not only Executive Produced wrote but also starred in. How did the cooperation with the director’s Jeff Kennedy/Dean West start and how was working with your co stars Renée O'Connor and Charles Matthau (son of actor legend Walther Matthau)?

DJP: Not to be confused with the cheeky English ghost comedy, our Ghost Town (“Dean Teaster’s Ghost Town”) is a gritty Smoky Mountain western. The project was the brainchild of co-director Dean Teaster (hence the moniker). The movie started as a tribute to his father who was an actor at the www.ghosttowninthesky.com theme park in the 1960’s. Stars like Burt Reynolds would work up there and promote their TV shows/movies. Robert Bradley, Harry Valentine and several of the original gunfighters participated in the film, which we shot at the park while they prepped to re-open. They are now in their 2nd season re-opened and so folks can go see places where we actually shot. 5,000 feet + on top of a mountain was pretty exciting. The other goal was to re-unite famous Ghost Town alumni Herbert Cowboy Coward and legendary Bill McKinney who were best known as the mountain men in “Deliverance.” They were named the #1 TOP SCREEN VILLAINS of all time by Maxim Magazine.(2005)

I think people are anxious to see these two powerful actors go head-to-head. McKinney is also very famous from his work in Clint Eastwood’s westerns. He’s the bad guy in “The Outlaw Jose Wales” AWESOME!
 
Cooperation between Jeff Kennedy and Dean Teaster went pretty smooth. Jeff Kennedy had some great directorial experience and Dean had actor experience but was going to be jumping fresh into the directorial job. He was smart to invite Jeff to assist him in the process. Jeff stepped back after production to allow Dean to assemble the movie as he saw fit. That has to be hard because everyone has his or her own vision. I think maybe at some point if Jeff has time we might do a “Jeff Kennedy’s Ghost Town” and just get his vision on the film.
 
Renee was such a sweetheart and very professional. We got to be very good friends talking about producing, writing and directing which she’s doing now. Matter of fact I have a screener from her sitting here. It’s a short called “Words Unspoken” that she directed and also wrote. I think she and I would love to do a project where we could work off one another more. That project just has to come along.
 
Charles Matthau and I met many years ago in Vegas and have remained friends since.  He had previously played a detective in “An Ordinary Killer” (Sept. 15th, 2009 release) which we’ll talk more about later. He’s primarily a director (See The Grass Harp,” “Her Minor Thing”) and I for one look forward to working with Charlie as an actor some day soon. Just have to again find the right project.

 
HMB: Can you tell us how many shoot days you had and how much the Budget was for “Ghost Town”?

DJP: We had 24 shoot days and $500,000 in cash and the full cooperation of the theme park. That was of course a HUGE added value.

 
HMB: “Ghost Town” went on to be consistently in the top 10 for western rentals since it’s release Oct 28th, 2008 and was #1 for 7 weeks with over 500,000 rentals, did you expected that to happen, how can you explain this “Ghost Town phenomenon”?

DJP: We talked about the Coward/McKinney “Deliverance” appeal plus the wonderful fans of our actors. Music fans of Stella Parton & Sammy Kershaw, the ROC “Xena: Warrior Princess” fans of Renee O’Connor, the “Tour of Duty” fans of Terence Knox and Tony Becker.  I also credit the marketing done by Barnholtz Entertainment and lastly the unique product itself.

It harkens to an early age of western BUT has a new feel. We are into approaching the western genre from slightly differently perspectives. Many people have called our western “An Eastern” or “A Smoky Mountain Western.” I try to explain this as blood being stronger than greed. Meaning try stealing a bears honey is one thing but try stealing one of her cubs is another. Okay both of those sound pretty bad. Also the mountain photography is awesome and the R rating for western violence shows we respected the harsh reality of the time. Cherokee culture is woven tightly into the story, which has brought interest from the Native American community. All this adds up. When I saw the first weekly numbers I was stunned that rentals were like a major stadium of people. Over 76,000 rentals in the 1st week! I give my heartfelt thanks to the fans. I know that many fans of my Civil War film “Wicked Spring” also flocked to this film because I’ve heard from them. I’m touched that “Wicked Spring” could find its play into the culture of Civil War films and I can only hope that “Dean Teaster’s Ghost Town” does the same with westerns. So check it out! Direct TV, retail and rental!

Here is a cool link to EVERYTHING Ghost Town!
http://web.me.com/deanteaster/GhostTownTheMovie/The_Movie.html

 
HMB: “Ghost Town” led to three more westerns for you, “Wild Michigan” and “Timberwolf”, you are set to produce and co-star in both. You have also written the screenplay for these two westerns. Both are currently in pre-production. What can you tell us about these two projects, where you again team up with Jeff Kennedy and Dean West?

DJP: The high sales numbers resulted in our company CDI green lighting two other westerns. The first “Wild Michigan” - a “MID-western” thriller will be directed by Jeff Kennedy. It may gather some good praise, as the dramatic parts are very powerful and raw. Following that is “Timberwolf” an action/western to be directed by Dean Teaster. It’s in the vein of a National Treasure movie but in a western setting.
 
I was the screenwriter on both projects and I really enjoy writing this emerging career. I was so excited (and nervous) when Wes Studi (one of my favorite actors) was reading the script. He ended up loving the story and will be joining the cast as well as being the Cherokee language consultant. That was a HUGE compliment and made me smile. Also because it is so heavy on the Cherokee and he is Cherokee, so you get the concern. Luckily all seems to be very good on that front. Both projects are co-productions of Triumphant Pictures and Collective Development Inc. and will start rolling cameras in 2009!
 

HMB: Is it true that you are in negotiations with Golden Globe nominee Lance Henriksen and Luke Goss (“Hellboy II”) to have them in “Wild Michigan” and if yes why those two?

DJP: I first noticed Luke Goss in “Hell Boy 2” and was like WOW! Powerful actor! I talked with his manager David Wood about “Wild Michigan.” He and Luke really liked the script and Luke brought Lance into the picture. I just watched the two of them working together in a movie “Bone Dry” by director Brett Hart (Not the WWF Wrestler) Anyway they both just jumped off the screen. I do hope we can make it all happen. We are not studio funded so that can be limiting. We’ve had a great amount of talent respond and I think we are getting a reputation for trying to tell good stories.


HMB: The third one is Scarlet Creek, you currently signed on to play a bad guy. Do you enjoy playing bad guys? And what can we look forward to seeing in “Scarlet Creek”?

DJP: Oh YES! I play many GREY characters but the character I play in “Scarlet Creek” is downright nasty. It can be enjoyable to explore that deliciously dark side of certain characters. Dustin Schuetter and Carlucci Weyant will play the film’s white hats. The film will also stars Chad Allen and Robert Miano and more fine actors are continuing to join the cast.


HMB: Talking about westerns, which actor performances in westerns influenced you the most in preparing for your roles and what are your top five westerns AND do you like John Wayne?

DJP: “Outlaw Josey Wales,” “The Wild Bunch,” “Unforgiven,” “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” and “Dances with Wolves” (Does that count?) I was raised on Clint Eastwood versus John Wayne but I’ll watch a John Wayne movie. Bill McKinney was one of my favorite bad guys so having him play my father in “Ghost Town” was crazy cool. “The Wild Bunch” sets the action bar, Clint in “Unforgiven” is awesome. Lee Van Cleef is cool as ice in GB and the Ugly” and “Dances with Wolves” is just a crown career gem movie. I mean Costner, Studi, Greene, McDonnell…beautiful movie. I think the hearts of western-characters are the seeds from which all of us grew from. I like to play a character where it reminds us of our rugged beginnings. It feels natural.
 

HMB: What draws you to westerns?

DJP: The western is the American mythos. The western represents a time of cultural transition. After the invasion of the Americas the delicate balancing of the new order began. The sad B story is the change of pre-existing ways of pre-existing peoples. Funny how the famed outdoorsmen who loved and respected the frontiers might have harm it the most. A time when a handshake meant something, stealing often led to killing… You get the picture I’m painting. Morality plays of ancient Greece taught the people principals of good living through the yarns of good versus evil. The western is our own version of that combined with a nice evolving reminder of history. Our films like the dime books of old might be slanted in a fantasy heroic journey kind of way as seen in ancient Greek drama.  But deep down inside we still like to be reminded of how brave and heroic we might aspire to be and that wicked men seldom win the day in the end. That is what draws me to the westerns.  

 
HMB: Mr. Perry, let’s jump now to the “Horror Business”. On May 5th the Chicago’s Horror Film Festival favorite “The 8th Plague” in which you starred in get its special edition release on DVD? I heard rumors that a prequel is planed; can you confirm that and what will we find on the special edition?

DJP: Yes. Very excited that “The 8th Plague” is getting another stronger push out to the marketplace. I know that some new commentary and behind the scenes material will be included. I will say that the rumor is true that a prequel script exists. We’ll see how the release on May 5th r does. If the fans want it, Two for Flinching wants to do it, I would do it. I will say that it takes place when Mason was still a prison guard. Very H.P. Lovecraft in tone and when you add Two For Flinching’s known GORE factor…WATCH OUT! I recommend check out “The 8th Plague Special Edition” …

 
 HMB: Another Horror film you currently wrapped is “Blood Ties” aka  “Murder at Hollow’s Pointe” from director Nathaniel Nose, which will come out later this year. What can you tell us about this indie project?

DJP: Nathaniel Nose is an exciting young director from Michigan who also went to Michigan State University. (We almost went all the way!)  He called me about “Blood Ties” that was going to be his 1st SAG picture and would I work for peanuts. I got to sleep in my own bed so I said YES. It’s a good murder mystery on a college campus story that has you guessing as to who the killer might be. It has a nice injection of humor into the dialogue and a great cast. I would expect this to be out around Halloween this year.
 
Also I play a special guest part in a horror movie called “Dog” by director Tim Gates. The Michigan premiere is in May but I think it is a film to keep an eye on if horror is your thing. Check out that cast of horror royal with cheese.

 
HMB: Last but not least you also served as Associate Producer and writer on Jordan Blum’s “Savage” an upcoming Sci-Fi thriller with horror elements. “Savage” stars Lisa Wilcox (“A Nightmare on Elm Street IV” and “The Dream Child”) and Martin Kove (“Immortally Yours”), how did you get attached to this project?

DJP: Back when I was working with Katharsys Pictures, the Production Company that did “In the Woods” I had written a first draft of a screenplay. Some characters were inspired by actual Michigan hunting stories and even have a few characters based on family members. It passed through several hands at Katharsys Pictures before ending up on a shelf. Bo Buckley of www.fearmakers.com and I had worked together on both “GPS” and “Ghost Town.” He was putting together a slate of horror films. That script was optioned and produced in Fall 2008. I wish I could have acted in it but was involved in prepping our westerns. I can’t wait to see it.  The trailer looks really good!
Marty Kove and I know each other from “Miracle at Sage Creek” and I know he will be so perfect in this film. Same with Tony Becker we are good friends and he is one hell of an actor. I’m also excited to see Lisa’s work in the film. I was a fan of her earlier “Nightmare” work.


HMB: Mr. Perry from horror now to a crime drama. Last year you shot “Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation” in India, it has already been awarded with BEST FEATURE FILM at the Marbella International Film Festival in Spain. How was your time in India and who is your character Khushroo? Also when will we get to see “Karma” in the States? (Rogue Readers check out the Trailer of “Karma” it looks great!) http://www.karmacpr.com/home

DJP: What a great experience! To fly around the world and work with these folks high above the cloud line in the mountains of Ooty. It was like a month of adventure in a far away land.   Yes the film debuted as a work in progress at Canne last year and has since won a few European Film Festival awards. I play a detective trying to unravel the mystery at hand. It was a scary place as an actor because they are shooting in English but the characters should be speaking in some native dialect but…anyway I play this rough and often disgruntled police detective who would rather sip whiskey and smoke cigarettes. Shah (Listed as M.R. Shahjahan) was a fun director to work with. He always had a smile and a vision of where he wanted the scene to go. He had worked on many large films such as being a 1st AD on “Gandhi” which I thought was pretty cool. He had great tales to tell off set. Producers Vivek Singhania, Dhiraj Kotkar and Sanjiv Potnis really made me feel welcome and truly gave me the A-1 star treatment. Very classy! TriCoast International now has the film and I wish they would get it set up for US release. I’ve had so many people contact me about when? Where? The demand is there so I hope someone can fill the supply need soon.

 
HMB: A while ago you did “GPS “, a movie with a very interesting concept by director Eric Colley who is also the creator of IndieClub.com, one of the largest networking organizations for indie filmmakers. The plot in short: College friends embark on a GPS treasure hunt in search of money. Instead of finding buried treasure, they find a buried coffin that contains photos of a kidnapped woman and GPS coordinates that lead deeper into the forest. Are the photos real or part of a game?
What attracted you to this story and are you in your free time a GPS treasure hunter?
 
DJP: As for the photos and certain elements of the film I’m under certain constraints on how I answer that question. I remember as a kid this book that was all an illustrated treasure map. Inside the words and illustrations they hid clues to a real treasure hidden by the authors. I think that is what attracted me to this movie project. I know they’ve had a million or so people play the game. I know that they have built something into this film that is meant to give one lucky viewer an unexpected surprise. My questions were about the story line and this money character Shep. (Watch the film) On a few occasions I caught director Eric Colley talking about this person as a real person. I’m still trying to get to the bottom of it all myself. There is some mystery to G.P.S. for sure. It’s like they have some mystery sponsor involved much like the university mystery donor as of late. Someone really LOVES treasure hunts and thinks that this movie is just a HIGH TECH treasure map. I did get out of them that some clues might be hidden in the extras. Those extras are two hours long so that is about 4 hours of clue seeking including the movie. I’m curious to see what happens. Lastly other than my GPS in my car I don’t use one. I like to just wander lost and follow the river.
 
 
HMB: On IMDB I found out you wrote a screenplay called “Silent Night in Algona”, the movie tells the story of the German POW camp in Algona, Iowa. Local fear turns to friendship as the community is drawn together at Christmas time via a unique gift that will stand as a symbol of peace for many generations to come. You will also produce it and co star as Rudy in it. German director Uwe Boll is said to direct it. What attracted you to write a story about German POW’s in the states and why did you team up with Uwe Boll for this project?
 
DJP: Actually at the Hollywood party “Norby Walter’s Night of 100 Stars” I met someone who had a client with a story. I should say a town with a story. So I was flown to Iowa and I visited the museum and met with actual WW2 guards and community leaders. I put together a script that I feel is just a beautiful true story with some fictional elements to make it all gel together. I ran the story by some German friends in India when I was shooting there and they LOVED it. It shows another side of the war and focuses on the goodwill that emerged. I spoke with several German companies and people that finally led me to Boll. Now we have a letter of interest in him directing but I will be honest that I’ve ran into some concerns from people. His movies remind me of the 80’s action films or some off-beat Zucker comedy. That said I think that Uwe Boll could completely shock everyone with a film like this. This film could win awards based on how the script drama is constructed. Expectation being pulled down because of the previous over the top films would help create a major buzz as audiences see a new side of Mr. Boll. I think he loves what he makes and is capable of making whatever type of film he sets his mind to. The deal is not set in stone but in speaking to him I think he would make an honest go of it and respect the subject matter. We will have to see how it all goes down. It is at one of the major Hollywood agencies right now being evaluated.  
 

HMB: MR. Perry you are the CEO Imaginative Endeavors, when or why did you decide to produce and write your own projects and scripts?

DJP: Let me clarify here. I’m the CEO of Collective Development Inc. a Lansing, Michigan based Motion Picture Production Company. Imaginative Endeavors was our editing house for several films but now has been moved to www.dennistherrian.com where our post-production supervisor Dennis Therrian monitors the post process. Imaginative Endeavors LLC is being converted to a literary company. I need a company to handle my screenplay work but not just for myself but for other writers as well. We will be working with literary agencies in Hollywood and also publishers. CDI started in 1996 with my partner Jeff Kennedy and his wife Juanita as a literary company. We shopped a few scripts until frustration and/or impatience led to us deciding to produce our own. We did the low budget “Knight Chills” for 10k in cash and 10k in credit. The rest is history as they say. So now that scripts are selling it might be a good time to revisit that.


HMB: What are for you the greatest mistakes producers can make on their projects?

DJP: I would need to write a book. A movie is going to be 1) a calling card or 2) a business venture which is the SHOW+BIZ = CAREER  - Production value is very important and that plays 2nd to the bankable cast as part of the biz. Even recently I saw a project, great script and I saw the cast they are putting together. It will have a hard time selling. YES. Independent film is where actors get their start and a few name stars should always be sprinkled around to help the film get distribution and give the rising actor(s) important experience opposite seasoned talent. MANY films never get distribution but they are good for actor reels, director reels and producer’s learning to produce with little to nothing. EXPOSURE from festivals and/or showings can help set up the next gig and with a paycheck. Once you get to a point that you are making someone else money you are almost there. The picture following a successful film, screenplay or performance will often lead to the better payday. Penetration into markets increases a value of the people involved. I have often found distributors to be short sighted and prey off the 1st time filmmakers. I think a distribution company will truly grow by development of its producers/filmmakers much like Miramax did with Tarantino and Rodriguez. Had they gotten fucked over they would never have continued to churn out the movies that placed millions/billions in their coffers.


HMB: What’s important for you when you attach yourself to a project?

A) As an actor

DJP: This ties into the question before this. I’m looking to form long-term relationships. I like a good script, good cast and someone with strong previous work. The filmmakers also need to be down to earth. I do not like the FAKE IT TO YOU MAKE IT filmmakers out there.  Making a film is gritty work and the PR/marketing is just for sales.  A good team behind the cameras and in front of the cameras increases chances of success.  

B) As an producer

DJP: Most of my main producing is done through Collective Development Inc. If I have to make the hard producing decisions and stand by the results, I need control. If I don’t have control over certain elements I don’t want to be held responsible. Now many projects where I am playing a lead I will come on board as a co-producer that is part consultant and part vast network that I’ve acquired over many years. If my acting is involved it is nice to be able to table something that may help.  I co-produced “The 8th Plague,” “Judges,” “GPS the Movie,” “Book of Ruth” None of which do I control any finances or have any final say on. I’m paid to bring options to the table that can help the project succeed. PERIOD. As stated before I try to fine hard working filmmakers to work with because that is what it takes. I want to be making films with these same folks for many years to come. I won’t work with them on every film as our schedule won’t always allow that but we will keep re-connecting. Compensation plays into the equation more for me when dealing with producing versus acting. Why? One feels more like work.

 
 HMB: What do you like and don’t like about the business?

DJP: I love being part of this rich tradition of storytelling that started around a primitive cave fire, a Viking hall, Greek stage, Vaudeville, silent film and on and on. What I dislike is the dishonestly. Not just in our business but in all aspects of business from the banks, insurance, politics and the film industry. Too much bullshit! I keep my business on the straight and narrow and even when things happen that are not productive they happened against my “best efforts” and so I have never had a restless night from worry. I’ve had one from excitement or lack of patience in a deal but never because I’ve screwed someone in this business to get ahead. I can’t recall any but I’m sure you might find one or two folks who did not like how something went down but their perceptions and the truth are not one in the same. The hard part is as we are entering multi-million dollar projects more variables outside my/our (CDI’s) control emerge. I’m not afraid to stand up and speak my mind to anyone. That said many people love to spin their wheels and fixate over what cannot be fixed. Or energy that could be spent problem solving is spent venting. So gather and work with great production groups and seek out those in the business of honest distribution. The goal is to form a WIN/WIN relationship.
 

HMB: Some advice for newcomers in the writing, producing and acting world?

DJP: Very simple. If you want to write, write. If you want to produce, produce something. You want to act, act. Become a doer. Learn from experience. You won’t have to dream of one day being something when you can become something just by doing.  Now as you become more proficient people will be willing to pay you for your rising skill-set. The business practice also requires just as much development. So my last piece of advice is learn the business of writing, acting and producing. Even if you use agents, managers, lawyers, accountants…they are still dealing with the business of YOU! So YOU need to know enough to manage these aspects of your future career.


HMB: What’s next for DJ Perry?

DJP: Beyond the projects in pre-production that we’ve talked about I’m signing onto some great projects. Two of these films are by writer/producer Eric Goren produced with my bud Carlucci Weyant (Karma). The 1st is “The Throwaways” an action piece with Dolph Lundgren set to co-star and direct “The Throwaways” once he gets clear of Sly Stallone’s action film “Expendables.”  I’m excited about an all-out action piece. The other film they are doing is a comedy called “The Science of Cool” with Mischa Barton, Jason Mewes and a wonderful cast. I love comedy and I haven’t really done a comedy since “Tangy Guacamole” several years ago. It’s time and the script is great! A GREAT pot film called “Buds” by filmmaker Sebastian Sadowski-Rogers is also on deck with some wonderful talent like Kevin Farley, Tracy Dali, Erika Eleniak and Judd Nelson attached! An action WW2 movie “Operation: Ruthless” with writer Tom Norton, a sequel to “An Ordinary Killer” entitled “A State of Hate” is being prepped for 2010. Lastly the 1st script I ever wrote called “pandemonium” a sword and sorcery script looks to be getting a set up deal in the UK. Talk is that is may even become a TV show. More on that at a later date as things develop.


HMB: Please choose 5 people out of the film business (dead or alive), you want to have at your dinner Table.

DJP: WOW! Interesting question. I would have to say Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, John Candy, Don Knotts and Chuck Heston. Give us a good bottle of scotch and I think it would be a fun “man-cave” discussion filled with many laughs. It would be awesome if Richard Pryor and Red Foxx crashed the party bringing ripple and medicinal blunts.


HMB: Any people that have come along in your life that you wish to give a special thanks credit in this interview?

DJP: Too many to mention but at this moment I want to thank Herbert here for doing this interview with me. These folks who also LOVE movies and support the hard work that we filmmakers do should be given a very special thanks. It is with these interviews and stories that movies and viewers are connected and thus fans are created. Following that line of thought I want to thank every fan. I’ve had so much support from fans that include the family-friendly, models and porn stars, gothic fashion and horror fans, western/cowboy/Native American enthusiast, Civil War/history lovers and somehow we are all connected. So this interview is for the fans. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that over a million people have watched the work. I will continue to try and give everything I have onscreen and work hard to create new works off screen. I just encourage the fans from different genres to take a look over here or there once and a while. Dare to be scared with a horror film, remember childhood with a funny family film, experience dramatic history through a period piece! ENJOY!  
 
 
HMB: Thank you so much for the interview Mr. Perry and all the best for your future!

DJP: Thank you so much. Once again the pleasure was all mine. A big thanks to Rogue Cinema as well!
