Umculi uNathan Thomas Milliner ungomunye wabantu abasebenza kanzima emphakathini owesabekayo. Ngokuphuma ngokungaguquguquki imidwebo yangempela futhi ethakazelisayo ngesitayela sakhe esihlukile, usebenze kanzima ukuze abe ngomunye wabakhombisi bokuqala kumphakathi wobuciko obusabekayo. Usebenze iminyaka kumagazini omkhulu I-HorrorHound, futhi muva nje usuthunyelwe izembozo eziningi ezinhle zeBlu-Ray ezivela eScream Factory!
Umsebenzi wakhe wobuciko ukuyo yonke indawo futhi awunakuphikwa, futhi uyazifela futhi uyaqonda ngamafilimu, ubuciko nokwethusa. Uthatha izinhlamvu sonke esizaziyo, esizesabayo nesizithandayo, bese ebeka eyakhe eyingqayizivele.
Ku-an ingxoxo engibe nayo nomculi ngonyaka odlule, wangitshela, “In Umhlaba wezentengiselwano owesabekayo izikhathi eziyi-9 kwezingu-10 ucelwa ukuthi uphinde wenze izithombe kusuka kumafilimu athandwayo. Imvamisa ukubuyisa izithombe ezinganyakazi noma zokukhiqiza. Kwesinye isikhathi ungayinonga ngokungeza izingqimba nezakhiwo ezithokozisayo kepha ekugcineni ukhawulelwe kokungenziwa njengoba kulindeleke ukuthi udwebe umlingisi kumvunulo kule filimu eshiwo. Ngenkathi ngiqala ukwenza amasekethe ngabona ukuthi abaculi abayi-8 kwabangu-10 abathengisa ama-prints kuma-cons babedayisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “yi-fan art.” Imidwebo noma imidwebo kaFreddy, uJason, uDracula, uWolfman, njll. Iningi labo bekungukuphinda kwenziwe kabusha kwezitobha zama-movie. Manje akukho lutho olungahambi kahle ngalokho kepha ngemuva kwesikhashana uyabona ukuthi wonke umuntu udweba izithombe ezifanayo ezilimele kaninginingi. Kuyisicefe kancane. Kepha kuhlale kukhona umculi oyedwa noma ababili abathengisa ubuciko bokuqala. Imibono yangempela nokudalwa okukhona kuphela emakhanda abo. Kubuciko babo. Bengifuna ngandlela thile ukuletha lezo zinto ezimbili ndawonye."
UNathan Milliner usanda kuthatha isikhathi esimisweni sakhe esimatasa ukungiphendula imibuzo embalwa ngemisebenzi yakhe yobuciko emisha, amaphrojekthi akhe amafilimu azayo, kanye nokuhlangana kwakhe kwakamuva nje noRobert Englund njengoFreddy.

Yonke imibhalo engenhla izotholakala ku- Impelasonto eyi-HorrorHound e-Indianapolis Sept 5-7 futhi at I-Scarefest eLexington, KY ngoSepthemba 12-14 nango I-Fright Night Film Fest eLouisville, KY ngo-Okthoba 3-5.

Ngiyazi ukuthi usanda kuba nethuba eliyingqayizivele lokuhlangana noRobert Englund njengoFreddy. Ungangitshela kancane ukuthi lokho kuzwakale kanjani nokuthi lokho okuhlangenwe nakho kwakusho ukuthini kuwe njengomlandeli wempilo yakho yonke?

Amafilimu e-Elm Street ayeyisango lami lokungena kuhlobo olwesabekayo. Ngangiyiklolodile ngaphambi kwalokho kodwa kwakuyinto ephindwe kabili ye-A Nightmare ku-Elm Street 2 no-3 ngobusuku obunye ngo-1988 eneminyaka eyi-12 ukuthi konke kwashintsha. Ngangikhathazeka kakhulu ngoFreddy futhi ngethuka kakhulu futhi ngithi uFreddy uyisizathu sokuthi ngibe nomsebenzi enginawo namuhla. Ngakho-ke lapho ngibona ukuthi uRobert uzonikela ngezimonyo zezithombe emhlanganweni angikholwanga. Wayengakwenzanga lokho kusukela ngo-1989 futhi angikaze nje ngicabange ukuthi ngingathola ithuba lokumbona kulowo make-up mathupha ngaphandle kokusebenza kwenye yamafilimu. Ekuqaleni bengingekho ebhodini kodwa kuthathe isikhathi esingaphansi kwehora ukubona ukuthi angikwenzanga yini, ngizozisola impilo yami yonke. Ngangazi lapho u-Aug 8th ezungeza futhi ngangizihlalele ekhaya ngibona abanye abalandeli befaka lezo zithombe engangizikhahlela ngazo. Ngakho ngathenga ithikithi… ngenjabulo. Emile lapho egumbini, ezungeza ikhethini ukuze abone uRobert Englund ekwakhekeni ngegilavu, anyakaze futhi akhulume njengoFreddy enyameni. Kwaba uhlobo lokundikindiki. Ngangikusebenzele ukuthi ngangizobeka kanjani futhi konke lokho izinyanga. Kodwa lapho ngivuka lapho ngangithuke ngavele ngaqhwaga kuhle kwenyamazane ekhanyiswe amalambu futhi ukubukeka kobuso bami kuyefana nalokho obekuzoba ngo-1988 ngo-12. Kwakungu-surreal. Angisoze ngakukhohlwa. Ngemuva kwalokho ukumbona kamuva ngalobo busuku esiteji ekwakhekeni, ukuwela kumodi kaFreddy lapha futhi kwakungakholeki impela. Ngisho, ngibona isithonjana seqiniso esethusayo ku-make-up wakhe odumile WOKUGCINA futhi okokugcina. Kimi, kungafana nomlandeli obona uBoris Karloff efaka ukwakheka kweMonster okokugcina ngo-1961 futhi ethatha izithombe nabalandeli.

Lapho ebuzwa ngemiklamo yakhe yamafilimu ezayo, uNathan wathi:
Isiqalo sami se-directorial, ISIFISO SABAFILE ifilimu yobude besici esuselwa kukhomikhi engiyibhalile futhi ngabuyela emuva ekuqaleni kwawo-2000. Ngiqondise ifilimu futhi ngabhala ngokubhala i-screenplay kuyo. Kususelwe ngokukhululekile ku- "The Monkey's Paw" futhi kuyifilimu ye-anthology engajwayelekile kanye nefilimu elwa ne-zombie. Angikaze ngithande ukwenza okwenziwe ngaphambili futhi i-Wish ayifani neze. Sibona izimpilo zabantu abaningana ababhekene nokufa ngandlela thile futhi konke kuhlangana ngobusuku obubodwa obusabekayo. Indaba eyinhloko imayelana nensizwa enomfazi wayo obulawa umdlavuza futhi ubhajwe esibhedlela, ifuna ukuthola indlela yokumhlenga. Kwathi ngobunye ubusuku kwavela indoda eyimfihlakalo imnikeza impendulo. Ifilimu izokhonjiswa ngo- I-Scarefest eLexington, KY ngoMgqibelo, Septhemba 13th ngo-3: 30 ntambama. Sizosebenzela ukuwufaka emikhosini eyengeziwe yama-film and cons nokukhipha i-dvd ezinyangeni ezizayo.

Enye iphrojekthi yefilimu engisebenza kuyo ibizwa ngokuthi “Imiqulu Yegazi.” Amavolumu weGazi futhi iyi-anthology – ngendlela yendabuko ngokwengeziwe. Kuyingxenye yohlelo olubizwa nge-Unscripted Film School oluphume e-Owensboro, eKentucky. Ivumela abafundi ukuthi basebenze kusethi yefilimu ezimele lapho bengathola khona amava ngesipiliyoni. Le filimu yenziwa nguPJ Starks engihlangane naye eminyakeni embalwa edlule emhlanganweni. Wayengumlandeli omkhulu wefilimu yami yokuqala Intombazane Eyesithathu. Wangenza ngaba yisivakashi eMcimbini wakhe waminyaka yonke wamaFilimu owawuse-Owensboro ngasekuqaleni konyaka wabe esebuza ukuthi ngingathanda yini ukuba ngomunye wabaqondisi abahlanu ukuze ngiqondise ingxenye ethile emkhondweni wakhe owesabekayo othi “Volumes of Blood”. Ngangiphansi. Ngifunde imibhalo emi-3 etholakalayo ngakhetha eyodwa ngabe sengiphinda ngiyibhala kabusha ukuze ngiyithole lapho bengidinga ukuthi ibe khona ukuze ilingane nezwi lami futhi ngibekelwe ukuyiqondisa ngo-Okthoba 18. Lowo ngumkhabi. Sinehora eli-8 lokudubula izingxenye zethu. Elami linesihloko esithi “The Encyclopedia Satanica.” Umbhalo wokuqala wabhalwa nguT Todd Martin. Ngakho-ke kuzoba nzima kakhulu ukudubula yonke into ngamahora ayi-8 kuphela kepha sisebenza kanzima kuyo. Le filimu kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukukhonjiswa ngoMashi wonyaka ozayo.

Sibonga kakhulu kuNathan Thomas Milliner ngokuthatha isikhathi sakhe asitshele ngamaphrojekthi akhe amasha ajabulisayo.
