We chatted to Steve about AAAAAAAAH!\u2019s inception and production along with the state of modern indie cinema and the secrets to mining comedy genius.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you pronounce the title is it AAAAAAAAH!?<\/strong><br \/>\nHowever you want, I will leave that to the viewer. You can say it like AAAAAAAAH! or AAAAAAAAH! or AAAAAAAAH! Many variations. Multi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you come up with such a warped idea? Did it evolve from something else or was it more of a light-bulb moment?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s something that has always fascinated me: how ape-like we all are and yet we rarely reference it in our every-day lives. I\u2019ve always been a big fan of Planet of the Apes and did a short film with the same concept a couple of years ago. So I guess it grew from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was it an easy casting process?<\/strong><br \/>\nI always had a few names in mind: the two Julians (Rhind-Tutt and Barratt), Tom Meeten but Toyah Willcox I wasn\u2019t expecting, I just sent her the script which she loved and was very enthusiastic about. I think if you tell an actor they have to do run around being a monkey, they\u2019ll probably do it. They love that sort of shit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The soundtrack to AAAAAAAAH! was pretty amazing. As a musician, did you have much involvement?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe main person who provided the soundtrack was Robert Fripp who donated a largely improvised album to us to use however we wanted. So that\u2019s all just the genius of Robert really.
