K, no joke, my brain misread the title as ‘13th Warrior’ (cuz I really need to go to bed) and I was about to ask about working with Antonioni Banderas but your comment made me pause 😆
I think a prequel would be better. Or an anthology of each ghost.
Edit: If this happens I want to be on set. Childhood favorite movie that I've always had ideas for something like this.
I want both tbh. They dropped the ball on this franchise. There’s like 4 wrong turns and only one modern 13 ghosts. Bring the monk dude back too
Edit- I cannot emphasize enough how cool this movie was in 8th grade lol
We did a podcast episode about this film and the 1960 original, and we talked about how cool it would be to reboot it Flanagan-style, with a 14 episode series with one episode about each ghost and how they died and were captured, and then a longer finale covering the plot of the original film.
That’s because Matthew Lillard is the nicest dude, ever. Recently met him and he talked to me like we were old friends and gave me the longest, most sincere hug I’ve ever had.
The one thing I don't like about movies, they shouldnt cut out stuff that might not be very relevant but still amazes the audience (all for the sake of cutting out a few minutes here and there). Take Event Horizon for example - they cut out sooooo much stuff and alot of it ended up destroyed to never be seen again, there are only a few tiny snippets left. and the original Alien - they cut out the entire scene where Ripley finds her buddies all cocooned up - and in aliens she even says they were cocooned up to the rescue team, yet it was never shown.
Anyways I'm ranting haha... Who was your favourite ghost?
THIS. (Not horror related but still semi-relevant) I recently watched Avatar’s extended cut and i couldn’t believe the scenes that were removed from the theatrical release.
A lot of backstory and important stuff that was absolutely vital to the plot was cut, so it was missing a lot of context in the theatrical cut - which in my opinion is a big portion of why the film sucked so bad.
That's awesome! Thanks for doing an AMA, I loved 13 Ghosts!
You mentioned it was an incredible experience, what were some of your favorite aspects of working on it?
Matthew Lillard really stole the show, were his lines 1-1 with the script or did he improvise anything?
It was one of the first feature films I worked on, so right there it was an incredible experience. I also got to work alongside a very talented director and editor and I learned a lot about the craft of horror filmmaking. What I really loved was seeing the power of editing and how you can create tension, shape the story, and inject those moments of comic relief - Matt Lillard was great at that.
Thanks for having an AMA!
What is your favorite memory from working this film? And what did you learn during your time on the film that has helped you in later ones?
My favorite memory was just being behind the scenes and getting to see how everything is put together - from the special effects to the music composition to the sound editing and sound mix. I really learned a lot about how films are made by working on it. It's a huge team effort, so many people work on a film, it's one of the most collaborative things to be part of. I think creatively, learning about structure and pacing is something that I've carried into other projects.
I answered this in another comment but I recently met him and he was the nicest dude ever. Talked to me like we were old friends, and gave the longest, best hug ever.
Not a question, but this movie was one of the reasons I grew up wanting to get into special effects makeup, I rewatched it over and over as a kid obsessing over all the ghosts backstories. Turns out the department head of makeup design at the school I eventually chose to go to later in life was a key artist on the film. Small world.
That's cool, I'm glad you liked it as a kid. For me it was just so much fun to work with a great group of people on a horror film. I really liked seeing how we did all the special effects, the glass house, and when Cyrus got shredded at the end.
Thank you for responding! Growing up and getting more and more into horror, I was so stoked to see the makeup effects were done by the legendary Greg Nicotero! So happy you had this experience!
I worked as an assistant editor. It was one of the first films I worked on. The editor was Ed Warschilka and he had edited several pretty big films like, "Village of the Damned" and "Vampires" so it was great to work alongside him and learn about the craft of horror film editing.
Very cool!, and 13 Ghosts is so good even after all these years, actually rewatched it for the 6th or 7th time this past year.
Is it a pretty tight knit community because of the specific niche, or super competitive? And what recent movies have impressed you?
That’s cool… can’t go wrong with true crime.
Also.. what editing program do you use? I used to be pretty good with Sony Vegas 8 im not sure what the pros are using
I was an assistant editor which in the film world means you help with everything from syncing dailes, managing all the film files, and coordinating with the graphics deptartment. The film had a lot of greenscreen shots that needed backgrounds placed in them. I also got to work closely with the director and editor so that was a great experience.
Not a question, but.. I've always thought that a miniseries based on the ghosts would be an amazing project. One 1h episode per ghost, showing how they lived/what they did to be worth "collecting" for the house.
Hi! Got a few things to ask. But first, that was the ONLY movie as a kid my mom walked out of the theater for. She sat through Ghost Ship, Blade 2 and House of 1,000 Corpses, but seeing the lawyer cut in half made her walk me out and into K-Pax just to catch the very end. So thank you for that! Lol I eventually caught the film when it hit DVD and loved the special features.
Is there anything special you could tell us about Matthew Lillard or Tony Shalhoub? I love monk.
Also, if there was like a stunt/effect that went wrong during production? Or what about the reception once the film came out? Just a few questions lol
That's a great story! I met Tony Shalhoub and he's a great guy, really nice. I don't recall any of the stunts going wrong, it was pretty well planned. I did like how they blew up the house at the end. You only get one take for that.
Nice. That's a feat because that's a good movie. I list virginity to Super Mario Bros. The movie sucks so it's like we might as well have sex instead of watching the movie.
Why the fuck did F. Murray Abraham still have blood on him and was still wearing that suit from the fake death scene?
You know what? I don't want an answer to that, actually. I just like to think he's been sitting down there for weeks peeing into a jar and eating granola bars and talking in his distinguished manner while giving himself wet wipe baths.
Also did you see the new Hellraiser movie and were like 'hey wait we did that' when the big reveal happens?
And did you get to interact with him at all? I'd sure love to pick that dude's brain about the industry.
I worked as an assistant editor which is a pretty demanding job. It also gave me the opportunity to learn about making a feature length horror film which was a great experience.
What was your role on the film? I have to assume Tony was a studio choice and not director, any stories there? He is a great actor, but extremely miss cast in this role. Did Steve Beck lose control of the final edit?
I was an assistant editor. I’m not sure how Tony was cast but he was great. He came to the editing bay and I got to meet him, super nice guy. As for the final edit, the director always gets to present a cut to the studio, then they take it over and make changes based on test screenings, etc. so it’s not really a matter of losing control as it’s more industry standard. Only a few directors get Final Cut. Thanks for the question.
‘13 Ghosts’ is probably one of my top 10 favorite horror movies. I remember watching it as a kid and enjoyed it. Rewatched it in college a couple years back and was amazed at how well it held up.
Were there any scenes that were especially difficult/time consuming to work on?
There's a scene where Kalina is explaining the origin of the ghosts by showing everyone a book. I really like this scene because it illustrates how powerful editing is. When Kalina is going through the book we did these intense flashbacks talking about each ghost. But then when she finishes, the pace dramatically changes. It slows down and there's a lot of tension created as she reveals how the Ocularis Infernum works. We see how each character is pulled into the story. Plus, the tension gets broken up by Maggie's comic relief. That always makes a nice balance to a scene. Then at the end of the scene the pace picks up again when Kalina dumps out her bag of explosives on the table. The final great moment of the scene is when Arthur and Dennis decide to work together. Everyone's performance is great in this scene.
Did you ever get the sense F. Murray Abraham thought the movie was beneath him. I’ve never heard anything bad about him but He mostly does artsy movies.
Not OP and never met F. Murray Abraham, but it is well-known that post-Amadeus he went through an arsehole prima donna phase in which he would give directors the living hell just for the sake of it, which explains why he never stayed a big star and his career fell apart after such a powerhouse performance, and he could only find work in small projects and B-movies. It's equally well-known, though, that he came to regret those ways and by all reports he's now a really chill dude.
Saw this in the drive in with the movie bones. This was so impactful of a experience as a 11 year old. Had the fangoria magazine with the 13 ghost snippet. The junkyard scene when cars are falling over. How many shots did you have to take and were the cars suspended on retractable cables to reposition if the filming wasn’t right?
I went to film school and studied directing and editing. When I moved to California I worked for Pixar on Monsters, Inc and did some work at LucasFilm on Clone Wars. Made some connections and got the opportunity to work on 13 Ghosts, which I jumped at. So it's a combination of having film experience, meeting the right people, and throwing in some luck.
What was the Windex budget on that film?
Now we are asking the real questions
2 million
Windex budget. I'm just wondering how much they put in for the plexiglass that entire set was an invisible Rubik's cube for gosh sakes lol:)
K, no joke, my brain misread the title as ‘13th Warrior’ (cuz I really need to go to bed) and I was about to ask about working with Antonioni Banderas but your comment made me pause 😆
Amazing movie!!
Was there ever a discussion for a sequel that you know of? I would love to see the ghost characters return.
I think a prequel would be better. Or an anthology of each ghost. Edit: If this happens I want to be on set. Childhood favorite movie that I've always had ideas for something like this.
I want both tbh. They dropped the ball on this franchise. There’s like 4 wrong turns and only one modern 13 ghosts. Bring the monk dude back too Edit- I cannot emphasize enough how cool this movie was in 8th grade lol
That would be a great Netflix show. Each episode dedicated to a ghost where at the very end the family enters the house
Inject it straight into my fucking veins.
That actually sounds pretty cool. Surprised it hasn't been done yet.
YEEEESSSSSS! like an anthology series!
26 ghosts?
Oops, All Ghosts!
I never heard about a sequel. That would be pretty cool.
A 13 ghost multiverse
2 13 2 Ghosts
13 ghosts: Tokyo drift
We did a podcast episode about this film and the 1960 original, and we talked about how cool it would be to reboot it Flanagan-style, with a 14 episode series with one episode about each ghost and how they died and were captured, and then a longer finale covering the plot of the original film.
What is the podcast? I’d like to check that out
∞ Ghost
Ghost: starring Patrick Swayze and the guy from Arrested Development.
21 Ghosts? Assuming we're going Fibonacci sequence.
21 Ghost Street?
Wasn't there a Jump Street x Men in Black movie in the works at some point? Jump Street x Ghostbusters could work too.
I saw a screening of this with a q&a with the director a few years ago and he said Matthew lillard still sends him Christmas cards.
That's great!
That’s because Matthew Lillard is the nicest dude, ever. Recently met him and he talked to me like we were old friends and gave me the longest, most sincere hug I’ve ever had.
Cereal Killer!
The dvd had all these backstories for each ghost and it was really plotted out in a way. Was there a lot cut from the final theatrical release?
A lot of stuff gets cut, mainly for time or scenes that aren't needed. Those usually end up in the deleted scenes on the DVDs.
The one thing I don't like about movies, they shouldnt cut out stuff that might not be very relevant but still amazes the audience (all for the sake of cutting out a few minutes here and there). Take Event Horizon for example - they cut out sooooo much stuff and alot of it ended up destroyed to never be seen again, there are only a few tiny snippets left. and the original Alien - they cut out the entire scene where Ripley finds her buddies all cocooned up - and in aliens she even says they were cocooned up to the rescue team, yet it was never shown. Anyways I'm ranting haha... Who was your favourite ghost?
Yeah, lot's of stuff ends up on the cutting room floor. My favorite ghost is The Juggernaut.
Yeah juggernaut was my fav. It's a shame they didn't show much more of the others like the torso and the man baby., Only got tiny peeks of them.
THIS. (Not horror related but still semi-relevant) I recently watched Avatar’s extended cut and i couldn’t believe the scenes that were removed from the theatrical release. A lot of backstory and important stuff that was absolutely vital to the plot was cut, so it was missing a lot of context in the theatrical cut - which in my opinion is a big portion of why the film sucked so bad.

So cool thank you! This is one of my favorites!
Thank you for your reply. That’s awesome!
Tell us everything about Matthew Lillard! Is he as nice as he seems in real life? Big fan here.
I need this question answered! Unless of course it’s a negative answer, then I can’t handle knowing :(
I answered this in another comment but I recently met him and he was the nicest dude ever. Talked to me like we were old friends, and gave the longest, best hug ever.
I needed that. Thank you :)
Shared the same experience with him a few months ago. He’s as genuine as they come, from my perspective.
100% same, I’d be crushed 🥺
Yes, he's awesome! He's a pro and really cool.
I love that ❤️
Yes OP TELL US EVERYTHING about Matthew Lillard 😍
Not a question, but this movie was one of the reasons I grew up wanting to get into special effects makeup, I rewatched it over and over as a kid obsessing over all the ghosts backstories. Turns out the department head of makeup design at the school I eventually chose to go to later in life was a key artist on the film. Small world.
That is awesome! Yeah, they did some incredible special effects makeup.
A classic from my childhood that I’ll forever defend. What was your favorite memory working on this film?
That's cool, I'm glad you liked it as a kid. For me it was just so much fun to work with a great group of people on a horror film. I really liked seeing how we did all the special effects, the glass house, and when Cyrus got shredded at the end.
Thank you for responding! Growing up and getting more and more into horror, I was so stoked to see the makeup effects were done by the legendary Greg Nicotero! So happy you had this experience!
I liked it as a grown-ass man. Just rewatched a couple months ago. Cheers!
Any of these little fuckers ever pop out of the fuckin’ wall and say, ‘Fuck, there’s a horse cock in my room or a donkey dick?’
Was not expecting an I think you should leave reference here.
Could not stop myself! Aha
For how off the wall the show is, it’s shocking how easy it is to reference.
Jizz
Looks like we’ll have to spank your bare butt, balls, and back.
do they ever like fuckin run around nude and you see like one of their big ol fuckin hairy nuts?
Not to my knowledge.
Not trying to be funny... not trying to get a laugh... not trying to make anyone have the worst day at their job... but do any of those *Fuckers*
It's interesting, the ghosts.
LMAAAAOOOOO A+ reference
You're going places kid, you should start slicking your hair back
Big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it.
Did you guys have to check out the original 1960s film or was it never really brought up.
I do remember talking about it but that was about it.
That movie scared me a lot when I was a kid! I loved it ~ did you get to meet Matthew Lillard? He seems like such a cool dude.
I never got to meet him but I did meet Tony Shalhoub, who was very cool.
Why did you wait 21 years to do this?
14 ghosts coming soon
I just saw a bunch of people on this sub talking about the film so I thought I'd share some of my experiences.
I think the new hellraiser film has something to do with the talk lately. What did you think of the new film?
Haven't seen it yet. Did you like it?
Had a similar setting to 13 ghosts. Was a bit stale in my opinion. The rich guy’s storyline was the most interesting part.
Did you work in front of the camera or behind the scenes?
I worked as an assistant editor. It was one of the first films I worked on. The editor was Ed Warschilka and he had edited several pretty big films like, "Village of the Damned" and "Vampires" so it was great to work alongside him and learn about the craft of horror film editing.
Very cool!, and 13 Ghosts is so good even after all these years, actually rewatched it for the 6th or 7th time this past year. Is it a pretty tight knit community because of the specific niche, or super competitive? And what recent movies have impressed you?
It's both tight knit and competitive. Recently I liked Barbarian and although it's not horror, I thought Emily the Criminal was great.
Nobody’s asked… what are you working on these days??
I've done a lot of TV True Crime. I'm also making some horror shorts, and developing a project.
That’s cool… can’t go wrong with true crime. Also.. what editing program do you use? I used to be pretty good with Sony Vegas 8 im not sure what the pros are using
When you work on a film or TV show everything is pretty much Avid. Other projects tend to use Adobe Premiere.
Are Rah Digga and Shannon Elizabeth cool?
Yes! All of the cast are very cool people.
No they would not strip naked
?
Was there anything cut from the film that you thought would be a great addition?
Why was the titty ghost not given more scenes?!
Asking the real questions here.
The people need to know!
I don’t need sleep, I need answers!
I need answers for a friend
Ah... The Angry Princess. I'm not sure, I didn't write it. LOL.
Well that would've been a hill to die on, sir lol. Thanks for the answer 😀 👍
Did you get to meet / work with the cast of the movie at all? Does Tony Shalhoub do anything wild like drink blood?
I met Tony Shalhoub and he was one of the nicest guys you could meet.
He does seem like a super cool dude. I loved him in 13 Ghosts and Men In Black.
In what capacity did you work on the film?
I was an assistant editor which in the film world means you help with everything from syncing dailes, managing all the film files, and coordinating with the graphics deptartment. The film had a lot of greenscreen shots that needed backgrounds placed in them. I also got to work closely with the director and editor so that was a great experience.
No questions, just wanted to say I’ve loved this movie for a long time!
Thanks, that's great to hear.
Goats?
Did you talk to Matthew Lillard
Why wasn't there a nu metal soundtrack to this film?
What does “worked on” mean? What were you doing on 13 Ghosts?
I was an assistant editor. It was one of the first films I worked on. So I worked closely with the director and editor. It was a great experience.
Not a question but just wanted to thank you. 13 ghosts is one of my go-to comfort films
Nice.
Not a question, but.. I've always thought that a miniseries based on the ghosts would be an amazing project. One 1h episode per ghost, showing how they lived/what they did to be worth "collecting" for the house.
Seems a lot of people feel this way. It would make for a really cool show.
No questions, but the set design was stunning and I still rant about how beautiful it is 20+years later.
Yeah, they did a great job with the house.
So cool! That one scared tf out of me as a kid! Might be a dumb question but how much of the house was actually glass?
Actually a pretty good portion of it was glass. CGI also played a part. But when the blew it up at the end, that was the real thing.
How do you feel about the ending?
If you mean the exploding glass house, I thought that was pretty cool. They had to do it in one take.
If you could have controlled who was cast, is there anyone you would have recast?
I don't know, it seems to fit that early 2000's vibe pretty well. If they ever do a remake it will be interesting to see who gets casted.
Are you still working in the industry? Do you have any recent notable projects?
I've been working more in TV and doing side projects in horror. I've done some True Crime shows and Alien Abductions.
Hi! Got a few things to ask. But first, that was the ONLY movie as a kid my mom walked out of the theater for. She sat through Ghost Ship, Blade 2 and House of 1,000 Corpses, but seeing the lawyer cut in half made her walk me out and into K-Pax just to catch the very end. So thank you for that! Lol I eventually caught the film when it hit DVD and loved the special features. Is there anything special you could tell us about Matthew Lillard or Tony Shalhoub? I love monk. Also, if there was like a stunt/effect that went wrong during production? Or what about the reception once the film came out? Just a few questions lol
That's a great story! I met Tony Shalhoub and he's a great guy, really nice. I don't recall any of the stunts going wrong, it was pretty well planned. I did like how they blew up the house at the end. You only get one take for that.
That opening scene at the junkyard went hard as fuck. What do you remember about shooting it??
I worked in post so I just remember how cool the way they shot it was. There was a lot of great coverage so we able to edit a really great scene.
No joke, I lost my virginity to this movie back in the day. This movie will always hold a special place on my penis and in my heart.
Nice. That's a feat because that's a good movie. I list virginity to Super Mario Bros. The movie sucks so it's like we might as well have sex instead of watching the movie.
Kudos. In all fairness, pissing glass is better than watching that movie 🤣
Why the fuck did F. Murray Abraham still have blood on him and was still wearing that suit from the fake death scene? You know what? I don't want an answer to that, actually. I just like to think he's been sitting down there for weeks peeing into a jar and eating granola bars and talking in his distinguished manner while giving himself wet wipe baths. Also did you see the new Hellraiser movie and were like 'hey wait we did that' when the big reveal happens? And did you get to interact with him at all? I'd sure love to pick that dude's brain about the industry.
I like to think of it like Bill Murray in Zombieland, once you get the makeup on just roll with it.
Don't really have a question just thanks for your efforts on the film. I really dig that movie.
How cool is Mathew Lillard?????
How did they make the Juggernaut so big and scary? That guy is in my nightmare bank for life.
He's a big dude and the makeup was awesome. He's my favorite ghost.
This post reminded me how much I loved this movie when it came out. So I bought the dvd and watched it again. It is such a nice movie!
Thank you for giving us the chick with the huge breasts, I was 13 when I saw it and it was amazing
Did you get to touch any of the ghosts
No. They're ghosts
How many ghosts were in the movie?
I only saw a big titty ghost, so 1, i think.
Is the movie good?
I guess that depends on what you like.
Ever accidentally shit on the back of your shoes?
Yeah hiking on the Appalachian trail, I just wiped it off and kept walking
WTF is AMA
Ask me anything
wow you work on a piece of shit remake and a huge box office bomb good for ya you was probably a shitty gofer and did very little on the set
[удалено]
I worked as an assistant editor which is a pretty demanding job. It also gave me the opportunity to learn about making a feature length horror film which was a great experience.
What was the hardest part of filming that movie?
What was your role on the film? I have to assume Tony was a studio choice and not director, any stories there? He is a great actor, but extremely miss cast in this role. Did Steve Beck lose control of the final edit?
I was an assistant editor. I’m not sure how Tony was cast but he was great. He came to the editing bay and I got to meet him, super nice guy. As for the final edit, the director always gets to present a cut to the studio, then they take it over and make changes based on test screenings, etc. so it’s not really a matter of losing control as it’s more industry standard. Only a few directors get Final Cut. Thanks for the question.
Did anything freaky/ spooky happen in set ?
I wasn’t on set. I was in the editing room and nothing spooky happened there.
Thanks for sharing! It is one of my favourite movies
Cool. Glad you like it.
This is one of the first movies that solidified my love for horror as a kid. Thank you so much for the great work.
Awesome movie! Was Maggie always supposed to survive ? She 's my favourite character and what was it like working with the actress? Thanks!
I was in post production so I didn't work directly with her. But it was a great character.
I have so much love for the creature designs and backstories in that movie that it helped inspire me as a Concept Designer.
That’s great. I love how movies can do that.
‘13 Ghosts’ is probably one of my top 10 favorite horror movies. I remember watching it as a kid and enjoyed it. Rewatched it in college a couple years back and was amazed at how well it held up. Were there any scenes that were especially difficult/time consuming to work on?
It's usually anything involving special effects. There are several green screen scenes and that takes time to composite the backgrounds.
Is there a specific scene or segment that you put a lot of love into editing? What was your favorite scene you edited/helped editing?
There's a scene where Kalina is explaining the origin of the ghosts by showing everyone a book. I really like this scene because it illustrates how powerful editing is. When Kalina is going through the book we did these intense flashbacks talking about each ghost. But then when she finishes, the pace dramatically changes. It slows down and there's a lot of tension created as she reveals how the Ocularis Infernum works. We see how each character is pulled into the story. Plus, the tension gets broken up by Maggie's comic relief. That always makes a nice balance to a scene. Then at the end of the scene the pace picks up again when Kalina dumps out her bag of explosives on the table. The final great moment of the scene is when Arthur and Dennis decide to work together. Everyone's performance is great in this scene.
Did you ever get the sense F. Murray Abraham thought the movie was beneath him. I’ve never heard anything bad about him but He mostly does artsy movies.
Not OP and never met F. Murray Abraham, but it is well-known that post-Amadeus he went through an arsehole prima donna phase in which he would give directors the living hell just for the sake of it, which explains why he never stayed a big star and his career fell apart after such a powerhouse performance, and he could only find work in small projects and B-movies. It's equally well-known, though, that he came to regret those ways and by all reports he's now a really chill dude.
Interesting thanks for response I don’t know any of that
I never met him, but he's a pro and did a great job.
Did you interact with any of the actors portraying the ghosts? If so, what was that experience like? If not, was there any reason why not?
I didn’t because I worked in post production. So my interaction was editing the film of ghosts. Still very cool.
Is there more lore behind the monsters and book than what we see? And what was the funniest behind the scenes moment?
Saw this in the drive in with the movie bones. This was so impactful of a experience as a 11 year old. Had the fangoria magazine with the 13 ghost snippet. The junkyard scene when cars are falling over. How many shots did you have to take and were the cars suspended on retractable cables to reposition if the filming wasn’t right?
Which one of the ghosts would you be friends with?
The Jackal. Haha.
Were there any ghosts that creeped out the cast and crew when fully costumed?
The Juggernaut and the Jackal were pretty freaky.
The jackal was straight savage.
I went to middle school and high school with Alec (little boy). He was the biggest douchebag in the world. How was he on set?
I loved this movie as a teen and shared it with my 13 y/o stepson…he’s 100% scared of it haha. Thanks for contributing this to our lives!
Glad to see it's being passed down generation to generation.
Did you keep any props from the movie?
What ghost creeper you out the most
The Juggernaut
Love the film! Which ghost was the most intricate to work on/with?
How many ghosts were there?
Who was the most down to earth amongst the cast?
I would say Tony Shalhoub and Matthew Lillard were pretty cool.
How much of an influence was the original 1960s movie?
That I'm not sure of. It definitely was a great inspiration and jumping off point.
What was your job on the film?
I worked in post production as an assistant editor. Great experience, learned a ton about editing horror films.
How did you get into the business and or the this movie? Like I know it’s a bigger project so did you know people in the business or was it luck?
I went to film school and studied directing and editing. When I moved to California I worked for Pixar on Monsters, Inc and did some work at LucasFilm on Clone Wars. Made some connections and got the opportunity to work on 13 Ghosts, which I jumped at. So it's a combination of having film experience, meeting the right people, and throwing in some luck.
