Interview: Mark Tran / ALL ABOUT DAD
Posted by Jarrod Whaley
Here’s the first of two (the second will be posted in a very short while) audio interviews I managed to squeeze in during my unfortunately limited time at Cinequest; Mark Tran and I discuss his film, All About Dad, on the upper floor of the Rep while some kind of fire alarm or something sounds in the distance. Listen to it right from this page with the handy audio player (batteries included), or download the file and listen at your leisure.
Note that if you prefer reading to listening, this interview will be published textually on my blog sometime very soon.
You can catch All About Dad this Friday night (i.e. March 6): 9:30 @ the Rep.

5Q: Mark Tran / ALL ABOUT DAD
Posted by CQ Central
Mark Tran.
I started writing All About Dad during my undergraduate years at San Jose State. It was semi-autobiographical, as it was taught by my professor to “write what you know”. When I finished the screenplay, I applied for many grants, but was ultimately rejected. I set out to make this film, and was ready to go knee-deep into credit card debt. Fortunately, one of my professors found a guy who wanted to donate $10,000 to a student project. From there, the ball started rolling, and found more donations; enough to make a dirt-cheap indie-feature. Read more
