Interview to Pretty Dead's Creators
Benjamin Wilkins y Joe Cook answer us

1a. – To Benjamin: Pretty Dead (REVIEW) is your first film as director, however, you have produced many short films and even feature films. Why did you decide to make the leap from producing to directing? Can you talk a little about your career in the film world? You have a Peruvian film, what can you tell us about the production “La Navaja de Don Juan”?
Ben: I was tired of trying to get other people’s permission to get things made – which is what you have to do when you need other people’s money to do your project. My Peruvian project was just starting its second year of searching for finishing funds, which we still do not have all of… so at the time Joe and I started talking seriously about doing something together I was ready step outside the box. I didn’t actually start off intending to write or direct “Pretty Dead”. Joe and I both came to the project initially as producers looking to develop a “sexy zombie” story. We didn’t have any money for Pretty Dead – Joe and I produced the movie by working overtime and putting it on credit cards, so it was our poverty as producers that prompted me to initially write the script.
