Getting his hands dirty with his feature directorial debut, FILTHY ANIMALS, writer\/director JAMES T. NORTH gives us all the dirt in this exclusive interview discussing the “making of”.<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS:\u00a0\u00a0Set on Christmas Eve, FILTHY ANIMALS tells the story of two outlaw misfits, Lars, a thrill-seeking drug enthusiast, and Freddy, a bodybuilder recently out of rehab, who hunt down child sexual predators.\u00a0 A crime thriller with a western holiday twist!<\/i><\/p>\n

Written and Directed by JAMES T. NORTH, FILTHY ANIMALS stars\u00a0Ryan Patrick Brown, Austan Wheeler, Mena Elizabeth Santos, Peter Larney, and Raymond J. Barry.<\/p>\n

When James T. North dives into something, he dives in head first and keeps on going.\u00a0 And that’s exactly what he has done here with FILTHY ANIMALS.\u00a0 Creating interesting and compelling characters (who I wanted to see more of in this film and hopefully will in a sequel), a unique and difficult story premise, and a diverse but effective visual style, James tackled everything from the challenges of balancing first-time and non-trained actors to the creative process with cinematographer Nathan Baldonado, to the importance of visual storytelling to editing and music.<\/p>\n
