![]() ![]() ![]() Indieactivity: How did you create your character from ground up? Since I couldn’t really see how my performance was captured on film while I was shooting my scenes I just rehearsed with my actors and taped the rehearsals as much as possible and worked with my acting coach to break down every scene in the best way to approach it depending of the what was required to be portrayed from me as an actor. They are definitely the ones who stole the show and props to them for being professional and understanding. Not to forget that I chose Method Acting as my acting style and that entailed a lot of headaches and probably some rather uncomfortable moments for my actors, which I admire and have the utmost respect for. Pablo Vergara: Since I directed and acted on the film, it was a very challenging and difficult process for me to jump on and off from the complex character while directing my actors and myself. ![]() Indieactivity: Give an example of a direction you received from the director during the production? Total freedom, as dangerous as that may be, at times… Having total control and not having to deal with producers or studios telling you what to do and how to do it. Pablo Vergara: Just the flexibility of it. What do you enjoy about the work that keeps you working? Indieactivity: You’re not new to indie films. The entire piece is an ode to the pain of living and growing up since we are portraying a bunch of renegade young kids who belong to a very misunderstood and extreme cultural group that is called Black Metal. I wanted to use this film to showcase a more visceral aspect of the human condition and the struggles of a modern day artist trying to ‘break through’ in a world gone mad. It was a very honest and honest story for me, both during the Pre-Production process of writing to the time cameras started rolling. Pablo Vergara: The fact that most of the character is inspired on real events that happened in my life and music career but at the same time it deals with a very surreal story that occurred in real life as well. Indieactivity: What part of the story challenged you when you wrote it? What drove you to get on the project? Pablo Vergara writer/director for Necromurder gives project insight Pablo Vergara: It made a lot more sense too for most of the character’s struggle is biographical and the rest is based on a real murderer and arsonist which I’ve studied for most my life… So everything ran smoother as we started shooting and when it came to having an integral and more realistic character with the histrionics it conveys. ![]() Indieactivity: As one of the main cast on the project, how did this ‘choice’ work for you? A friend convinced me to do it stating that it was I, after all, who knew the story best and understood the character’s heart better. Just the night before we were supposed to start rolling cameras my lead actor bailed on us and with not more than a few hours left and all nerves aside, I had to make the drastic decision of jumping into the project as the Lead. Pablo Vergara: Originally I wrote the story and did the casting and we had rehearsals and all the fighting choreography and such. Indieactivity: How did you get connected to the project? Did you have to audition? If you did, would still have got the part? ![]()
