Movie Name – Fallen: The Search of A Broken Angel Director – Alex Kruz Hello Alex! Welcome to SIFF.   1.What was your initial thought when you made the movie? Originally this was a whole other movie where there was no romance or love interest. It was made without any real goal at the end other than making it. We all have experiences outside of our daily routine we can classify as extrasensory – be they dreams, premonitions, communication with loved ones who have passed on, near death experiences. These are all very normal and accepted experiences now, but before these were seen by the sc ..read more

Movie Name – The Choice Director Name – Nathan E. Waire     Hello Nathan! Welcome to SIFF!   1.”The Choice” is quite a thoughtful movie. What made you pick up a storyline like this? I am actually a Metaphysical Christian but I noticed that others who believe in traditional western concepts of Christianity have rigid beliefs of what the forces of “Good” and “Bad” are and how they work. So, I decided to play on those concepts and twist the narrative. What if instead of waging an all out war with evil vs good; there was a compromise… Choose one innocuous soul and place a wager to ..read more
