THE TOSCARS ARE COMING! AND I HAVE AN INTERVIEW WITH THE CREATOR OF 'CAVITY'...
20:40:00Hey Lovelies,
So about a week ago I was asked if I wanted to interview the host and one of the directors of The TOSCARS! The film awards show that will have sides splitting and film fans having to decide between the original and parody.
This year’s judges include Paul Oakenfold, Owain Yeomans, Jennifer Elise Cox and Jim Piddick.
Given just three weeks to make a short parody of this year’s Oscar nominated films, the film makers then take their films to the event and present them to the judges in hopes to win one of the exciting awards of the night.
These awards include...
Best Supporting Whactor
Best Supporting Whactress
Best Tunes
Best Scribbler
Best Boss
Best Threads
Best Whactress
Best Whactor
Best Parody
People’s Choice Award.
Really the event is to let the entertainment industry have a little bit of fun at a very stressful time and have a laugh!
And with Tim Russ, star of 'Star Trek Voyager' directing ‘Cavity’ aka ‘Gravity’, some lovely people decided to give me the chance to interview him, which I am about to share with all of you :)
Why did you pick 'Gravity' to parody?
Tim: I did not pick that film, it was randomly given from of a list of names.
How did you find out about the award show?
Tim: I was told about the awards show after I had signed on to direct "Cavity."
Why do you think the TOSCARS are more important then the Oscars for some film makers? Should bigger companies get involved?
Tim: I wouldn't say the Toscars are more important, that the Oscars, they are really just a spin off of the Oscars - similar to other awards/events that have been lampooned over the years.
Do you think 'Cavity' will be a bigger hit than 'Gravity'?
Tim: I don't think it will be bigger than "Gravity" given that it's only a 5 minute short with virtually no budget… but…you never know what can happen in this business…!
Final Question, what film would you love to see be turned into a TOSCAR Parody?
Tim: I wouldn't mind seeing the "Bourne Identity" series of films turned into a Parody…
and I'd like to be in on the writing of it….
I have also sent some questions for the host of the event which I will post as well when I get the answers to them :)
Blog Soon,
Joey xxx
