Believe it or not, but I was a camp councilor for three years. I love kids.
I felt people responded to two things. One, obviously, is the gore and the scenes like the eye gauging.
I love movies. I mean, I really, really love movies.
I was listening to music to kind of pump myself up and get psyched up, like I was listening to Iron Maiden and Misfits and Dead Kennedys, and it was like my '80s Massachusetts parking-lot heavy metal and Guns N' Roses.
It's very flattering to feel like you actually helped create a sub-genre.
The film, 'Aftershock,' for me is really about how the minor problems in life that we think are so major ultimately mean nothing when a tragedy happens, when a real problem happens.
