THE DARK is based on your Columbia University thesis short film. Was it a difficult process expanding it into a full-length feature?

Are you really named Christopher after horror icon Christopher Lee? Sure am, my mum loved him as an actor and I guess I scored his name.  Your past horrors – DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL, COME AND GET ME, CHARLIE’S FARM – were all R rated and came with some controversy. Is that why BOAR is just gory creature feature fun? When …
