\"kman16d\"<\/a>Exclusive interview with Simon Cox, director of Kaleidoscope Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve just returned from the cinema and what an experience: the music, the action, the story, the special effects and those edge-of-your-seat moments! If you\u2019re an independent filmmaker or film fan you might dream one day of making such a film. So you\u2019ve decided to make to make a feature film, not only that, but fund it independently, gather a wonderful team and five hundred supporters from around the world. Simon Cox, director of sci-fi feature film Kaleidoscope Man, has done just that. I was intrigued to find out more , so I caught up with him.<\/p>\n

JT: What was the moment you decided to embark on making a sci-fi feature film ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SC: I\u2019ve wanted to make an epic sci-fi movie since I first saw the original Star Wars when I was 13. I came up with the initial idea for Kaleidoscope Man back in 1999 after I\u2019d finished my first feature Written in Blood (1998). I had no idea it would take me nearly 20 years to make!<\/p>\n

JT: How did you go about getting the team together to make K \u2013 Man?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SC: Having worked in TV and film over the years, a lot of the people I\u2019ve brought in were people I\u2019d met along the way. I also found a few local people who have since joined the team. Our cameraman, Gordon Hickie, shot my first feature film (Written in Blood) and he now shoots Holby City, Casualty and The Inspector Lyndley Mysteries.<\/p>\n

I found the cast via acting agencies apart from Toyah Willcox who I met at a film meeting a few years ago.<\/p>\n
