Interview with Filmmaker/Actor 'Terry West'

Filmmaker Terry West has been a professional author and filmmaker for about a decade. Terry actually began as a drama major in college and appeared in several films usually out of practicality. When an actor wouldn't show up, Terry would just jump in there. Terry, so nice to talk with you today, tell me about your latest project and what you are working on at present?

At the moment, I am waiting on a bunch of stuff that is currently in post. I was a producer on Ted Bohus' Hell on Earth. I am an executive producer on Plausible Denial's "Hellvolution" www.myspace.com/hellvolution& www.plausible-denial.com

And of course I have been in two of Alan Rowe Kelly's newest productions.

What other films have you had acting roles in? I appeared in several of my films: "Blood for the Muse," "Witchbabe", "Sexy 6th Sense", "Satan's School for Lust," "Lord of the G-Strings," "Vampire Queen" (with the great actress Debbie Rochon), I was also in "Playmate of the Apes," "Skin Crawl," and "Spiderbabe."

I was the lead in Joe Monk's "The Bunker.". This film has a lot of press because of the fact that Joe seems to be the world's first blind director. I also have a brief cameo in Ted Bohus' "Hell on Earth" and I was a featured lead in Alan Rowe Kelly's "The Blood Shed" and his "Hung by a Thread" segment, "A Far Cry from Home."

Tell me about your most challenging role in a film and why it was such a challenge? "The Bunker" was tough, because I played a sadistic kidnapper torturing a hapless teen girl. Although I think that the preacher man in Alan's "A Far Cry from Home" was harsh. The role I play is a backwoods fire and brimstone preacher who hunts a gay couple. I am the most tolerant person in the world, so that was tough, but I am very happy with the turnout.

Who would you consider to be your favorite character in "The Blood Shed?" Man, I honestly can't say, because everyone was so good. I guess I have to go with Beefteena which is played by Alan Rowe Kelly. Alan was brilliant and he is as good an actor as he is a director.
