I had the opportunity of sitting down with filmmaker Joshua Criss to discuss his 2012 found footage creep-fest, Leaving D.C. The film chronicles the adventures of Mark (played by Criss), a man who makes video diaries of his move from Washington, D.C. to the isolated woods of Virginia, where he unexpectedly encounters a pesky, ghostly neighbor.
Criss, along with his playful cat, informs me of the pros and cons of filmmaking (especially with his newest project, the horror-comedy The Caretaker, which he also stars, along with his mother), his love for The Blair Witch Project, and how much he would like to be eyewitness to a real paranormal event.
Both Leaving D.C. and The Caretaker are available on Amazon Prime. Criss’s novel, The Moving Soul, is also available on Amazon.
