Here is an exclusive interview from TCWReviews with director Ryan Andrew Balas. Balas is preparing for the exciting World Premiere of Carter, here in NYC at the Anthology Film Archives as part of the NewFilmmakers Fall Series. The film premieres on November 24th, @ 8:45 pm. Mark your calendars! Here is some of the interview, after the jump:
"TCWreviews’s Administrator and Editor in chief Clifford Kiyabu sits down with Carter director for an exclusive interview. Ryan Andrew Balas is a Director, a Writer, and an Actor. He did this interview with me recently to talk about his new film ‘CARTER’ which will make it’s début later this month, as well as a little about himself and what is the driving force behind his style of filmmaking. But what makes him such a worthy person to have a sit down with yours truly is the fact he is a person with a impressively strong will who will not stop until his daydreams become a reality for all to see. Such ideals are that of a genius in the making.
CK: First off let me thank you for making time to do this interview, you must be very busy with the premiere of CARTER just around the corner.
RB: No problem at all, totally my pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to ask these questions, it's very appreciated. I'm busy promoting the screening for sure, and putting the final touches on my directors cut of the film. I also stay fairly preoccupied day dreaming about the other projects I’m working on. I'm a hyperactive guy.
CK: So before we get into talking about the film I think it would be great if my readers got to know a little bit about the man behind the camera first.
RB: The man behind the goofy glasses!
CK: So sell us a little about yourself
RB: I'm a Midwestern transplant. Born in Indiana and spent my teenage years in Michigan. I moved to NYC in 2004, to study acting, I did the first year with the Upper West side as my campus. In 2005, I hopped over to the west coast and completed my conservatory training in Los Angeles in 2006 and shortly thereafter, moved back to NYC. I've been happily living in Queens, with my girlfriend, two dwarf rabbits and two cats, ever since. I tend to get the most work done when I stay up all night, so I get very little sleep. I'm a huge day dreamer and try to go for a good brain storm walk, every day."
