“Writing for me comes very easy now. It’s used to be hard to reproduce scenarios and moods, but I’ve spent the past couple of years studying psychology, as well as observing how people interact in there day to day lives

In a world that is dominated by budget movies, it’s refreshing to hear a voice that speaks of emotion in characters, rather than speaking to there wallets.

On Tools of Desperation, Segars decided to work with close friend Silvio Oliveri. “Peer writing was a very interesting experience for me. It’s a great idea if you’re on a deadline, or are desperate for ideas. But I am a very arrogant person. I dismissed pretty much every idea that Silvio had, and vice verse. If you’re going to experiment with peer writing, it is important that you develop a common interest and goal. If not, your ideas will clash, and it will be impossible for you to see eye to eye with one another. When I worked with Silvio, we had different ideas and opinions on how we wanted the story to end up.” Also, much of the way that Segars would generally write had to be dismissed because many of his writing habits and techniques would have been impossible too manipulate while peer writing.

“Writing a script is much different that any type of writing. There’s no narration, and there’s not particular point of view that persist throughout the movie. It’s really about the collaboration between and me and the actors in order to portray the character the way I want too.” This is why Segars insist on being at all of his casting calls. “With my first movie The Fly, I just had my good friend Conor play the lead role of a teenager dealing with a drug addiction. He was perfect for the part, and there was a mutual understanding for what we wanted to do with the film. But now that I’ve gained a small audience, I have people coming from all over the country to play parts in my next film which is unbelievable.” Segars feels as though this is a hobby that has expanded into a life style that he loves. All of this recognition from such a low budget movie is really a testament to Segar’s originality and unique style.

in order to get a better sense of what someone would say while they are truly mad, as opposed to scripting what someone would say when there mad.” Segar’s perspective is one that few have thought about, and perhaps that is why his films are receiving the critical praise they are. His films deal with real life issues that don’t show actors as “superior beings”. T
