Interview With A LAMBpire

No cool logos for this feature, but some very cool insight, if you’re into that sort of thing. The LAMB Interview Feature was born out of an idea and we’ve taken that idea and hopefully, made something readable out of it.

Our first interview was with the blogger behind Daily Film Dose, Alan. Alan was a terrific interviewee and provided interesting answers to all the questions he was asked. Such as the following.

The name of your blog says it all, Daily Film Dose. How do you do it every day?

How do I do it everyday? Basically, I do it the day before and post it. I’ll do it in the evening, I’ll do a first past, it will take me maybe half an hour, forty five minutes, depending on whether I’m feeling it, whether the words are flowing. And the day of in the morning, I have a regular full time job, I work for the Canadian Film Centre, so in the morning, before I go to work, I’ll polish it off and post it. Usually, I watch some movies during the week, but most of them are on the weekends and just keep it in my brain throughout the week and then when it comes to writing the review, it will still be relatively fresh. But I also have a few guest reviewers every couple of weeks or so, I’ll give myself a break and have a guest reviewer write something for me. But, for the most part, it’s just keeping it going and so far, I haven’t had too much writer’s block. Every once in awhile I will and then I might rely on one of my guest reviewers to write something for me. People have asked me, do you write a bunch on the weekend and post during the week? Nope, for the most part, it’s one a day. I’m literally writing one a day.
