Here is our interview with James,

How does it feel to Win the Europe Film Festival?

James– It’s a huge honour, I’m so thankful just to be a part of the festival and do what I’m doing.

Who has been your biggest influence in life?

James- My Mum and Sister Lisa without a doubt are the biggest influences, I was lucky to have them.

 What’s the best way to navigate the film Industry?

James – I think it’s vital to have outside passions, something that you can enjoy and that allows you to detach from the industry. Film and Television is such a wonderful industry to be in, however it’s also a business and often highly emotional and cut throat, so having something outside to enjoy helps you balance your emotions and lends perspective to enjoying a much richer life.

 Why do you make movies?

James- I love being creative and the idea of telling a story, something that moves people or makes them laugh and smile. The creative process and working with other creatives as well is so rewarding.

 Can you share with us a little about Skyline Mist?

James – I can’t share too much except that this is a really exciting film, it’s fast paced and really hooks you in, it’s Interstellar Meets Basic Instinct.
