This film was so much fun to make, mostly because I got to work with the amazing Taryn Crankshaw (writer, actor, producer) and our pal Mitch Graw (actor). You may remember them from an incredibly graphic sketch we did last year.

You can get tickets to the screening here! (Note: Select the LOFT option)

We can’t wait to see you there!

This is my re-entry into directing! Wowzers, I had a TIME doing this! I was honestly pretty nervous about it – less so about directing Justin in the arms of another woman, more so about the actual directing part.

Anyway, hope ya like it!

We met a lot of super cool people on this trip. I also did a panel on multi-hyphenate women in film, a term I didn’t know about until I was asked to speak on the panel. Three of us produced and composed the scores for our films. Two performed in leading roles. I was not one of them but some day I shall be!

The other really cool thing about this trip was that I had a chance to walk around New York on my own and just enjoy it for the fabulous city it is.

I thought I’d check out 5th Avenue, but it was Sunday morning and not a hell of a lot was open.

So I got a coffee and a croissant at a Barnes and Noble, figured I’d try to have Breakfast at Tiffany’s (it’s something I hear the locals do a lot) aaaand it wasn’t there. Or I couldn’t find it.

Anyway I ended up in this large square with a few stores (Anthropologie) that were just about to open, so I thought I’d park myself in front of a super tall building and finish up my coffee.

As I tilted my head back to finish the last sip, I realized I was standing right in front of 30 Rockerfeller Plaza.

Like, THE 30 Rock.

I had been thinking about what to do next since all of my big projects were wrapped up. And in an instant, it kinda hit me. I’m standing in front of a building, by accident, where SO MANY of my idols have worked. All of these incredible people that have made me laugh my whole life. And for my whole entire life, I’ve always wanted to do comedy.

After I collected myself for a second or two, I made a decision, and decided to sign myself up for writing classes at The Second City Training Centre right then and there. And their website didn’t work, so I called, and they signed me up! Just like that!

This is my next step!

To finally have this massive undertaking finished, and to know that so many people loved it means so much to Justin and me!

Here’s the Q&A!

Here are a few highlights!

J: Did you get enough sleep last night?

E: No. I could use significantly more sleep!

J: I’m looking at the credits and did you actually do ALL OF THAT on those roles on the film!?

E: Yes. Producer, composer, sound design/mixing/foley, transportation, craft services, makeup and effects… you know, the stuff that needs to get done to make a film! But as a producer I was happy to take on the other random things even if I had no idea what I was doing. I did however, elect to do the sound myself which I’m kicking myself for now – I had no idea how difficult that would be. But maybe that’s the beauty of naïvety, when you don’t know what the hell is going on and you don’t know how long it will take, it’s a lot easier to keep plugging away until you do!

Check out Impossible Horror at The Toronto After Dark Film Festival on October 16 at 9:30 p.m. in Toronto!
