HORATIO TIHANYI & HIS PASSION BEHIND ACTING:
EXCLUSIVE BEHIND THE SCENES ON STORM CELL:
We had the chance to ask Horatio Tihanyi to give us exclusive insider on what it was like filming Storm Cell and working with Lawrence Taylor in the Film. Read further to find out more in an exclusive Q & A:
Q – Horatio, what was Lawrence Taylor’s first thought when you told him about Storm Cell?
Horatio Tihanyi: LT loved the idea. As soon as I told him about it, he instantly loved the plot. The hard, gritty atmosphere that’s in jail serves as a backdrop to the massive toll that being locked up can take on a person. LT originally wanted his character to be that of a sports star getting caught, but we decided a disgraced politician would be better suited for the overall plot.
Q – What was it like on set?
Horatio Tihanyi: LT told me I ran my set very professionally, and as tough as the work was, he enjoyed shooting the movie. We shot 87 pages in 6 days because that’s all the time we had to use the jail. I funded Storm Cell out of my own pocket and I could only shoot as long as the money lasted. Of course, being in a real jail added to the lure of shooting on location. Every day we had to show up to a real jail in Palm Beach. LT said that was interesting for sure. Plus, between takes, the actors playing guards would be outside with actors dressed as inmates (Me and LT) smoking. You should have seen the looks of passersby.
Q – So your next project is Krazy Dead. Can you tell me a little about that?
Horatio Tihanyi: LT read the screenplay, thought it was very funny and his people’s read it too and loved it. Originally, LT was going to play the lead, but he and I talked, and he couldn’t commit to a role that required his presence on set for extended periods of time. So I wrote in a reoccurring character for him. LT told me he loves comedy and making people laugh and he thinks Krazy Dead could be another cult classic like Shitt’s Creek.
