As you may (or may not want to) know, I'm updating a website that I inherited from a friend.

Today I uploaded 4 files. The first 3 went without hassle. For some reason the last file's code is NOT being recognized. I know I'm tired and it's something so tiny I just can't see it.

Please visit: http://www.Shivilenco.4t.com

Click on the COLIN HIVES link at the bottom, then the JANUARY 2002 link at the bottom of that page. It finds the file, but no code. However, it appears to be a complete html file, in my Freeservers.com File Manager.

Here's the htm file:

<HTML>
I first interviewed Colin, in January 2002. He was gracious enough to afford me time, attention and some offbeat questions.

Colin, wears a veritable hat rack full of creative hats. Producer/director/writer/music composer. He looks most comfortable in and very much the man in charge of each.


Where do you get your creative ideas?
From (a friend).After we finish a project, we give each other ideas for future projects. Keeps us from writing the same thing over and over.

Your plots always keep me guessing.
I love plot. Real life is not always dramatic. People moving through life is not altogether interesting, until they bump up into a crisis. The more crises I can provide, the better I like it.

Is that your definition of plot?
I suppose ‘crisis’ is as good as any definition. Plot moves the characters forward. The difference between a short and a feature is a subplot, or, another crisis. For example, a guy has to prevent a bomb from exploding, he has a drinking problem and he falls in love along the way. Three subplots.

And, true to your style, someone always dies?
I once teased a friend that in independent film, someone has to die, to keep it interesting. Think she took me seriously!

You once said, "Dead heroes make me happy".
Did I? Probably.

Do you have a pregame strategy?
Panic is high on the list. I’ll go over the script, make certain I’ve written it properly. I will get the lights the night before. Basically, pace and make life miserable for everyone around me.

Ever have any last minute setbacks?
Think I’m about to, my star is ill. Can’t find a set designer. Weather is gonna be a factor. And the writer wants to change the script!

I thought you were the writer?
I AM!

Talk about your sets. 
We use parks, cemetery, apartments, city streets, etc. Easy on the budget, always a primary concern.

I’ve heard you’ve been seen fleeing many a set.
Yeah. There have been times we’ve had to film a shot rather quickly and..move our location. Keeps the budget low and adrenaline high. This time of year, keeps me warm, that!

Production costs can be staggering?
Yeah. Write for what you have, or for what you know you can get. I’ve made 90 minute films for nothing.

What do you typically shoot first?
The final scene. Time, cast, weather. It all dictates what we shoot. I love all the worry, all the tension. One shot and I'm fine! Getting the first shot lets my stomach calm down. The day comes and you get 2 minutes of footage. With a little luck, a perfect 2 minutes.

Your directing style seems relaxed and easy.
I want everyone to have fun, including myself. I spend most of my time in front of the camera, just out of shot. Like to be in on the action. A big rush. No better feeling than having a couple of actors in front of you and saying "Action"

And publicity?
And publicity! Entertained the local newspaper this week, photos, interview. This has all become a big thing.

What’s the one question you fear most?
There are two actually. "How was that, Col?" and "What are we doing next?"

What are you doing next?
Who knows, but thanks for asking.



So, how was that, Col?
