Interview: David Moscow, Director of Desolation (2017)
Interview By: Jim Morazzini
We were lucky enough to get the chance to ask David Moscow a few questions about his directorial debut, Desolation, and his career. I’d like to thank David for, not only, a fast reply but some insightful answers about not just the movie but the state of the country as well. 1. Could you give us a little background about yourself and how you got into acting? My first taste was in school plays in 5th and 6th grade. My best friend and I were the leads in a mystery. I think I was hooked from the audience’s first laugh. That same year, my mom saw an open casting call in the local paper for Five Corners, a Jodie Foster film set in the Bronx (where I lived). I was a pretty rambunctious kid and my mom was trying anything at that point to keep me occupied. I did well enough on the audition that they passed my name to an agent at J . Michael Bloom, which was a good agency for children back then. I remember going into the office to meet everyone. They handed me a scene from a movie that was playing around that time for me to read. It was a scene from Stand By Me.
