Review Fix: What was your inspiration behind this project?
Joe Thristino: Technically? Caffeine. Philosophically? No idea.
Review Fix: What’s your creative process like?
Thristino: Did I mention caffeine? The compulsion to create something that connects with others in a substantial way is the genesis of every day for me. Throw in having the time and the space to figure that out, you pretty much have my process. Oh, also, I constantly make copies of my working scripts, which leaves me free to change whatever I want without losing the ability to revert back. You need the safety net that allows you to privately screw up. Which you will.
Review Fix: What did you learn/are learning about yourself through this process/production?
Thristino: A thousand things. And nothing at all. The journey is so all-encompassing I can’t even discern any new wisdom entering me. I’m leaving it up to my subconscious to sort it all out.
Review Fix: What are your ultimate goals for this for the future?
Thristino: For as many people to see it as possible.
Review Fix: What’s next?
Thristino: The dreaded question for any artist. Next comes to you, you don’t go to it.
