As we get nearer to the festival, we will be featuring the various filmmakers whose work will be screening throughout the festival.
Introduce Yourself: My name is Peter Ricq, I'm the director of GLITCH. I live in Vancouver but was born and raised in Montreal.
How did you become interested in filmmaking? I became interested in filmmaking at an early age. I watched the same movies like Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, 2001, Ghost busters over and over again, It was just a nice escape from reality. When I knew that I could one day do my own films as a living, I decided that was it.
Tell us about your inspiration and vision for the film: This is a graduate film that I did in my last year in University. I had done comedic films before and so this time I wanted to tackle another genre. I really enjoy science fiction and Phillip K. Dick style suspense stories. I had this story in mind for a while and now I finally had the time and experience to do every scene the way I envisioned it.
What were some of the biggest challenges in making and completing the film? Animation takes a lot of time to do, just drawing it all and hoping to make it on time was challenging. I would work on this film for 6 to 11 hours everyday , even weekends. It wasn't esay and you've got to be dedicated and not easily distracted from all the great parties that you may be missing out on and the girlfriend telling you that you're not spending enough time with her.
In the spirit of Jackson, what's your favorite Western? I haven't seen many but I'd say "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" was fantastic.
GLITCH, directed by Peter Ricq, will screen in Student Voices III at 4:45P, Saturday, June 7th at the Center For the Arts, Studio 4 and Sunday, June 8th at 10:15P at the Center for the Arts, Studio 4.
