NY Glam: What projects are you currently working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am busy promoting two newly released award-winning features: \u2018Punk Strut-the Movie\u2019 and \u2018A Reel Life\u2019, both distributed by Bayview Entertainment, and also working on the development of a third award-winning feature \u2018Tom and his Zombie Wife\u2019 which is screening at many festivals just now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: What makes a film great for you? Are there certain qualities that make a film better for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I love films that offer new ways of showing how the complexities of life affect us, whether through fantasy or stark cruel reality. Sharp, concise, true to life dialogue combined with imaginative visuals and great sound design are what I look for.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: <\/strong>As a screenwriter, what is the most important aspect of building a character?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think it\u2019s always good to write about things and people you know. I usually have a person, even an actor, in mind when I begin writing a character. The character may become exaggerated or even surreal sometimes, but at its base is a real person, with recognizable physical and emotional characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: How important is for you being a finalist at ISC?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am thrilled to be a finalist. \u2018Poker Nite\u2019 was written just before covid days and might have been produced in the UK before restrictions hit, so, for ISC to acknowledge it now is an important development that may help to move the piece into production in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: Top 3 favorite projects that you have been involved in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: Do you express yourself creatively in any other ways?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have always been interested in many creative forms, I trained in music, song, dance, and drama, and even today I write songs (on guitar and ukulele), plays and poetry, and have even been known to tap dance from time to time.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: What advice would you give to someone who wants to have a career in film?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research and study all the great filmmakers and their films. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: What can we expect from you in this actual year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I am hoping \u2018Poker Nite\u2019 will go into production and that a distribution deal for \u2018Tom and his Zombie Wife\u2019 (a homage to the great George Romero) will be forthcoming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NY Glam: Where can everyone keep up with you to learn more? social media\u2026website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/facebook.com\/k4kfilms<\/a> https:\/\/twitter.com\/k4kfilms<\/a> https:\/\/instagram.com\/k4kfilms<\/a> website: https:\/\/k4kfilms.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Exclusive Interview with Kevin Short \/ Actor\/Screenwriter Kevin Short, critically acclaimed former Royal National Theatre actor, and award-winning writer for film and stage, is best known for his award-winning feature \u2018Punk Strut \u2013 the Movie\u2019.
