I had the opportunity of sitting down with filmmaker Joshua Criss to discuss his 2012 found footage creep-fest, Leaving D.C.<\/em> 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. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em>, which he also stars, along with his mother), his love for The Blair Witch Project<\/em>, and how much he would like to be eyewitness to a real paranormal event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Leaving D.C.<\/a><\/em> and The Caretaker<\/a><\/em> are available on Amazon Prime. Criss’s novel, The Moving Soul<\/em><\/a>, is also available on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
