Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, highlights of your career so far, how you got into this crazy business, and how you became involved with the movie.
Cameron D. Cannon: I actually got into the film business
in Arizona, working on documentary projects. After
watching so many film crews come to town from LA, I
packed up my stuff and moved to Hollywood in 1996.
In your own words, what is the film about?
CDC: I know everyone starts with the sci-fi angle but I always approached the movie as a love story and a story about owning up to your past.
What was it like working on a low budget film?
CDC: Most low budget films are barely controlled chaos at best but Howard had a detailed plan for this movie. His planning and the camaraderie of the cast and crew made this movie exciting.
Where there any interesting obstacles or/and creative quick thinking on the set?
CDC: I think the biggest obstacle was the short shooting schedule. Until you actually try to make a feature in two weeks you’d never realize what it takes to pull it off.
Did you learn anything about yourself or others from the experience?
CDC: I learned that with the right vibe or working environment on set you get more from cast and crew, more nuance, more effort, more putting it all on the line for the common cause. It becomes a project that everyone is proud of as opposed to a paycheck.
My favorite moment was walking into the edit bay and seeing the images cut together on a big HD screen.
What does it mean to you to be infected?
CDC: We are out there and our numbers are growing… soon we’ll all be infected.
