El Monstro del Mar's filmmaker interview
Stuart Simpson sinceres

Who are you and how the hell you were introduced into the film world?
I just started making my own short films with my parents video camera when I was a teenager. I studied video production after high school and got a job as a camera assistant in television, going on to become a cameraman for 10 years. Now I am a studio director for the same station working for news and current affairs funnily enough. Over the last 10 years I have continued making films and video clips for bands I like. I am in the middle of shooting my third feature.
What is your favorite movie genre?
Post Apocalyptic Action or Telekinesis Horror.
What influence is greater in “El Monstro del Mar”: Russ Meyer of movie monsters from the 50’?
The idea was to have mean, loud talking, females characters that felt like they were straight from a Russ Myer film like, Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! and throw them into the environment of a 50’s drive-in monster movie but with the horror sensibilities of 80’s gore flicks.
