The Comedy short It's Hot! has attracted a wide audience on Myspace and even won the Comedy award at the 2007 Casablanca FutureVision Film Festival. This short video is very comical and many of us can relate, whether you live in a warm climate like Texas or if you have experienced a heat wave or two. I took some time out to interview Eddie "Monster" Evans about the funny short.

It was fun bringing your own ideas to life. In other words i liked everything about making it!! 4REAL!!

What was one of the funniest moments that occured on set while making the movie?
I think it would be the scene were i was waking up out of bed. We had to do that scene over and over. But it was funny having to wake up yelling over and over again.

What is your favorite scene in the movie?
Thats a hard one for me. So i will go with what i got the most laughs at from other people. Which was the fan scene that had one blade on it. LOL

YES! We wrote the script from true events.

4sho!! I mean yea.

What was your worst movie theater experience?
I think it would be when I got kicked out of the movies cause the people I was with, kept talking during the movie.

Should parents be allowed to bring young children to movie theaters?
I don't see why not. they are the kids parents.

If you could have chosen any character to play in a previously released Hollywood film, who would it be and why?
Let me see...SPIDER MAN/Peter Parker in SPIDER MAN 3. Cause he was able to be two different personalities in one film. SPIDER MAN and BLACK SPIDER MAN. Now that I make movies myself, i should just creat a two dementional characture on my own.

Have you done crew work or in any other areas of filmmaking? If so, what were they and on what movies?
Man I have done it all like grip, lighting, sound, camera, casting, and everything else. This is independent work!! I have on LIFES LITTLE GAPS, TIMMY, PRANK, BEYOND THE GLASS, PAPAS GONE MISSING, THE VENDING MACHINE, and some other ones but i just cant think of them at the moment. Sorry to the ones I missed.

Do you act in independent films for the money, for fame, because you are bored or for mere pleasure?
well I would like to make some money, I just havent yet. I dont need fame, but it could help me get to the money. I do get bored easy and it gives me something to do that is positive. I also love doing this. Is that a good answer?

Do you prefer Hollywood films, Independent films or a combination of the two?
A combination of both.

Do you have any other jobs aside from acting?
I have a 9 to 5. That pays the bills until I get alittle fame and then I get casted for a paying role. I have a warehouse job.
