Interview with Chris Zweerman

Christopher L. Zweerman was an old University friend to Director Thomas Gofton. Together the two chatted about great ideas and fun stories. They actually worked on a fantasy novel together during the years at the University of Guelph. One year, Thomas Gofton prepared the short film Mind's Eye and had nothing really developed to the degree it is now. Christopher always had an interest to dable in anything technical or try it out just once. Together and with the crew of the first short film concept rendition of Mind's Eye Christopher and Thomas were a fun friendship team.

Now in medical school in Australia, Christopher is well on his way to Doctor-hood. He managed to come back and visit his old friends from his old university town. After lunch, Thomas interviewed Christopher about the reminiscent times of 2007's shoot. See the interview below as well as the original concept trailer.
