Mille Clarkes
Mille (pronounced Mill-ah) Clarkes helps other filmmakers get their projects done. And if there’s a film festival or screening happening on PEI, it’s generally a safe bet to assume that Mille is involved. She’s a smart, thoughtful person who’s deeply interested in telling stories. Here’s part of her’s:

Director and producer Donna Davies of Ruby Tree Films
Years ago, I sat on the Island Media Arts Co-op board with Donna. A talented filmmaker who left PEI for Halifax, I’d always wanted to know more about her filmmaking, so…

Fox Henderson applies a prosthetic application to Natasha Kudashkina behind the scenes of his “1940s Film Noir... but with demons” called Cronus.
Int. FX Studio/Computer Lab–late night
I expect Fox Henderson to be kind of shy, but as he enters the lab, he warns me that he’ll probably swear a lot. He doesn’t. He does, however, have a lot of film projects, both behind him and ahead of him, to discuss.
Dave: What got you in to movie making?

A youthful John Hopkins
I’ve known John for a long time through osmosis via the local film community. I’ve seen some of his projects, I’ve been a member of the Island Media Arts Co-op with him, and I’ve had chats with him, but I’ve never gotten in-depth with him about what makes him tick film-wise. Here, in less than 550 words, is an attempt to get at the tip of the iceburg.
Dave: I imagine you grew up in a very creative environment. Can you tell me about that?

One day before The Buzz deadline. Two new messages in my Facebook inbox. One is from Jeremy Larter, responding to my filmmaker Q&A. It goes like this:

Pete Murphy
Int. Office Meeting Room—Noon
Peter Murphy, self described as “big and gregarious,” sits at the far end of the conference table. He’s dressed for winter—scarf wrapped around his neck, face red from the cold, sunglasses hide his eyes.
Dave: Tell me about your background.
