Jolly Roger director Curtis Wehrfritz is taking his first steps into the movie biz and is getting ready to make his feature film directorial debut on a Cite-Amerique production in Montreal. Although he says it is too soon to reveal any details of the shoot, he did take some time to reveal some details about himself.

How does it feel to be shooting your first feature?

It feels like eating a tiger-shrimp, stripe popsicle-flavoured terror, joy, terror, joy, etc.

What has been the highest point of your directorial career so far?

About 6 inches.

In your opinion, what does it take to be a successful director?

It comes down to one thing: good creative.

What advice would you give an up-and-coming director that you wish someone had told you at the beginning?

Do your own laundry and don’t ask wardrobe to fix your pants.

What is your favorite spot, that you shot?

I haven’t shot it.

What is your favorite TV commercial of all time (not your own)?

Jean Paul Goude’s campaign for Kodak because this type of work transcends what is considered to be ‘in’ or fashionable and instead relies on a deep trust in a unique approach for its power. Courage.

If not a director, what would you be doing with your life?

Work in theatre, performance art.
