Interview with Howard J. Ford

Ahead of the Digital release of Howard J Ford’s ESCAPE on September 30 and DARKGAME on Oct 23, the UK’s busiest indie filmmaker reveals his love of exotic locations, the demands and why he secretly wants to run a coffee shop. Your 10th feature, ESCAPE, coming out on Sept 30, is a female led kidnap revenge thriller, with hints of 70’s exploitation. Did you have fun making it? Well I wanted Escape to be an absolute blast in every respect as it marked my 10th film out the gate; Sexy - horrific – nail biting – thrilling - and believe it or not, I even fancied a bit of humour! But ultimately it’s about these women in a horrific situation, taking power and fighting back! I absolutely intended to have fun doing it too – the location recce’s were super fun and I had a lovely little team and I believe they had a good laugh – I can’t remember half of it, I was in a bit of a filmy bubble at the time!
