HW: So, what is scarier, to do a movie like this or walk out to 5,000 people?
RG: Well, I think live because you never know how it’s going to go and with this you always get another go…what’s scary is that you don’t want it to be a flop. And I have already caught a scent of that. I thought I wouldn’t care. And I think the film is great, I really do believe that if you are proud of the project it doesn’t matter what happens, but it does because you don’t want people to lose confidence in you to do something else and I love doing this.
HW: What else are you working on at the moment?
RG: I’m just editing This Side of the Truth. A film I wrote and directed with Matt Robinson. Just finished writing the script for the film I’m doing next year called The Man From the Pru. I am the lead in This Side of the Truth, but I’m taking a very small role in the other one, because it’s a drama and yeah. It’s funny, but it’s much more dramatic. It’s a drama like Diner. It’s a dramedy…and the podcast coming out on the 16th of September. The final series of the audio books.
