RIP Wes Craven

In 2013 I wrote a script for a fan film based off A Nightmare On Elm Street films. My goal was to make Wes Craven proud. The first shoot for my film was on Wes Craven’s birthday August 2nd. Sadly he passed August 30th 2015, I was heavily influenced by Cravens work. I grew up during the 80′s and Freddy Krueger was frightening monster, especially to a kid at 5 years old. At a young age I was fully aware of Cravens influential work  and I respected his title as a writer/director. The fan film The Beginning Of A Nightmare was a celebration of Cravens influence, and how he influenced me as a writer/director.  His legacy will live on by influencing filmmakers and his films will last forever. RIP Wes Craven.
