5Q: John-Michael Thomas / CORPSE RUN

1Q: Tell us a little about the origins of Corpse Run, from writing to financing.
The original script of Corpse Run was very simple; I was trying to break into acting and wanted to write something I could make for about 10 grand, so I wrote a story about three friends who played video games all day and talked politics. The whole point of the script was that we take ourselves too seriously and don’t really have a right to our opinions… Simply stated, opinions are cheap, but action is tough! Over the next year I expanded the script, then I got involved in Producing, Assistant Directing and Cinematography. A couple years later I came back to the script and decided to rewrite the thing as if I had 5 million dollars. I expanded the story to take place in an internet café, and added the character of Liberty (played by Brea Grant). Liberty just made the script work. Instead of being a story about video games, it turned into a story about the “Video Game Generation.” In the end, we didn’t have five million dollars! Our production costs were under $100k easily, so it was kinda insane, but had I not tried to write a script that had a real budget, it would have never been the movie it is. Read more
