10/31/2023 0 Comments Deadlock moviesIt’s really hard.Īnd nowadays getting cast is less about acting and more about Instagram followers, I have heard this casting discussion where they say “damn, this person has two million Instagram followers,” then the fifth question is “can they act?”. Then I started getting better as an actor, and the only way to get a directing job was if I wrote the script. The most important part of your job is getting people to read scripts I called everyone I knew, I had different scripts, action, horror, I was writing nonstop. I directed for different producers and kept getting called back to direct and wrote scripts, I expanded my rolodex. I directed a movie for them and then I directed 15 more movies for them, it gave me a springboard to connect with other companies. I was also working at a telephone sales job, then luckily I got connected with the Asylum they’ve done so many movies. I thought acting was cool, so I followed suit, moved to L.A., then after some years of working in low budget acting, I was writing screenplays because I had so much free time. With acting, I was living with an actor roommate on the east coast right after high school, and I didn’t know what I wanted to do. Jared Cohn: I started as an actor and writer, worked on a lot of super low budget films and the acting thing didn’t go the way I wanted to so I leaned more into being a writer, and thank God that I fell into directing more. Moviehole: How did you start out in acting, directing and writing? Persuaded to take time out of his busy schedule, Jared sat down with Moviehole to talk about working with Willis, who is playing a bad guy in the new thriller film “Deadlock” and also about how not to get scammed in Hollywood. Jared Cohn got tired of waiting for acting roles, so he created work for himself instead now he’s a sought-after writer/director with a newly released Bruce Willis film.Ĭohn had graduated from the New York Institute of Technology, majoring in film production things took off from there as far as ambition but not as much work-wise – that took a good 15 years more where he cut his directing/writing film teeth working with the prolific American independent film company Asylum (also a distributor).
