I didn’t start doing film until my early thirties but I love doing film it’s a completely different thing. I like television but there’s not as much freedom as there is in film or theatre and I always felt that there is a certain pressure in being bale to put out a product, but it’s ok.

- How have you seen movies and Hollywood alter throughout your career?

I don’t think I have seen it alter so much that it affects me it’s still a matter of reading a script and deciding whether I want to do it or not so that remains the same process. But I know that money is tough to come by these days and that affects the kind of movies that people are willing to invest in.

- You have had a busy year with The Call of the Wild, Foodfight and now Santa Buddies so how would you sum up your 2009?

It was a very good year (laughs) I have made several independent films and I hope, like Santa Buddies, that they do well and find distributors and we will see how it works out. For myself I’ve done a lot of work and the way that thinks are today I feel very fortunate to be able to keep on going.

- And finally what’s next for you?

I’m doing a little film in December back in the States and there is another one that I hope will come up in the New Year, it’s been postponed a couple of times due to finance, but hopefully all that will work out.

Santa Buddies is out on DVD now.
