Follow (2002)

For the second film in this series, I recruited feature film screenwriter Carroll Brown, who's a friend and a fellow SFWA member.  He wrote a terrific original script --specifically for this project -- about a man who thinks he's being followed. It's a very effective Twilight Zone type of story.

 

I'm credited as associate producer.  I ran the casting call.  I scrounged up lots of donations, including all meals for cast and crew.  I worked on set design, continuity, and was the clapboard person during the shoot.

 

This time I learned I'm more happy off the set than on.  I love writing.  I hate producing.  I've worked lots of different types of jobs over the years, and producing is the hardest work I've ever done.  I don't ever want to do it again.
