Interview: Ian Mantgani, director of Nosepicker

Warped Perspective has long been promoting short films, and thanks to the ALTER channel on YouTube, it finally seems that there’s a decent outlet for them which extends beyond the enthusiastic, but limited remit of the festival scene. And so, we recently reviewed a body horror/cautionary tale called Nosepicker: if you haven’t already, then you […]

Interview: Alberto Corredor, director of Baghead

Following up from my recent review of Baghead (2023) – a broadly successful and often intriguing supernatural horror tale – Warped Perspective has been fortunate enough to have a chat with its director, Alberto Corredor, about his experiences working on this film, his first feature. Keri asked the questions: many thanks to Alberto, his team […]

Interview: Joanna Tsanis, director of short film Smile (2021)

Continuing with Warped Perspective’s interviews with the directors behind ARROW Player’s recent Sharp Shorts, we asked director Joanna Tsanis about her own short film – a very brief, super-focused study of depression, grief and fear. Oh, and it’s a monster film, too. Here’s our conversation about Smile (2021). Warped Perspective: This is a very brief […]

Interview with Susannah Farrugia, director of short film Itch (2021)

Part of the recently-reviewed ‘Sharp Shorts’ package, Itch (2021) plays with ideas around faith, mental illness and temptation, and seemed like a project we wanted to explore a little more. Having recently reviewed the title, we were fortunate to next get the opportunity to speak to the director of Itch, Susannah Farrugia, and we’re grateful […]

Interview: Craig Williams, director

On occasion, you see a film – whether a short film or a feature – and something about it stays with you afterwards. Something about the visuals, perhaps, or some ingenious touch to the plot, or its characters – or perhaps some of its hints of a universe existing on its periphery, not fully extrapolated, […]

Interview: The Passenger’s Ramiro Blas

Following on from our recent review of the ‘creature feature road trip’ movie The Passenger, we were pleased to get the opportunity for a quick chat with leading man Ramiro Blas, who plays the inimitable (and potentially divisive) leading man Blasco in the film. Blas has a long pedigree as an actor – over twenty […]

Interview: Sophie & Dan of Sketchbook Pictures

Whilst it’s usual to get screeners for feature-length projects arriving in the site inbox, it’s less usual to get screeners for short films, so it was great to hear from the UK-based Sketchbook Pictures a couple of weeks ago: Sketchbook has (thus far anyway) exclusively worked in short film – a medium which Warped Perspective […]

Interview with Heather Bellson, TV producer and writer

Kicking off 2022 in style, we’re absolutely delighted to be running this interview with Heather Bellson – a writer who has worked on an absolute panoply of quality television projects at a time when, in the eyes of many, the television series is king. TV has been on the up and up when it comes […]

“Most contemporary films leave me cold”: Interview with director Alex Bakshaev

A few years ago, the site (in its old incarnation) was approached with an indie film which looked decidedly different to most films we receive; this turned out to be abundantly and delightfully the case. Whilst we do get a fair range of styles and genres, The Devil of Kreuzberg was a revelation: it’s rather unusual […]
