We have some wonderful photos by our very own Kirsten Fuller - she snapped them during our trip to San Diego last weekend for the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival.
Hope you enjoyed watching the MINUTEMAN trailer starring Riley Smith and Willa Ford. We’re thrilled to share some thoughts from Willa Ford about her experience at Comic-Con. She co-stars in MINUTEMAN with Riley Smith. Willa attended Comic Con to join the Dreamfly team and fellow cast members to celebrate the film’s choice as an Official Selection at the film festival.
Q & A with Actress Willa Ford
Was this your first time at Comic Con? What were your first impressions?
Yes, it was the first time I attended Comic Con. I initially walked into the convention center and saw the great costumes and realized how dedicated the Comic-Con crowd was to Super Sci-Fi.
You star in the Sci-Fi psycho thriller, MINUTEMAN, an official selection in the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival. How was the experience of being there for a screening of the film, with a live audience?
Being there for the screening of our film was amazing. I’ve done several independent films, and when you do them you are never sure where they’re going. To have MINUTEMAN chosen as an official selection at such a respected film festival…was such an honor. I so appreciate the entire experience. The audience was very appreciative and had great questions about the video game, the story and the technical process of making the film.
You took part in a panel discussion for MINUTEMAN, with other cast members, what was that like?
Sitting on the Minuteman Panel was kind of scary. But, it was fascinating to hear the questions and comments from those who had just seen the film. They really liked the film and wanted to know more about its future and the development of the partner MINUTEMAN video game.
You play Becca, Lance Deakin’s (Riley Smith) fiancé. Lance returns from a tour of duty in Iraq, and haunted by flashbacks of a hyper violent video game he played while in Iraq. Can you share some insight into Becca, and what she was dealing with?
The interesting thing about Becca is that she never enters the Sci-Fi world, but is just trying to understand what’s going on in this Sci-Fi world of her man – as Lance is pulled deeper and deeper into the vortex of his memory. The whole time she believes he is experiencing post trauma from the war.
