Interview With John Casey, Producer of ‘Love Simple’

On Monday, October 18, 2010, I sat down for an interview with the Public/ Media Relations Person and Producer of Love Simple, John Casey.

Aside from John’s role in this film, topics we discussed include: the new distribution deal and latest fundraising efforts surrounding this film, how working on Love Simple and working with the Lupus community has affected John, general Lupus awareness and strides made within the last year, hopes and dreams for the future of Lupus and the film, among a few other things.

Since beginning to work with John and Mark von Sternberg (Writer/ Director) in preparation for the interview I did with female lead, Patrizia Hernandez, it has been a real pleasure. I look forward to continuing to work with every one behind Love Simple for the many months to come.

Show Notes:

Once again, there is noise that I could not clean up in this interview. I used a new program to record the interview, which, foolishly, I did not test out before the interview. I tried my best to clean up as much of the noise as possible. If you do not listen with headphones, it is bearable.
I made mention of having a “toaster moment” during this interview. If you do not know what this means, I invite you to read my article for October’s issue of The Lupus Magazine, entitled The Lupus Safeword.
The interview is 41 min and 08 seconds long.
