This month we're giving his equally astonishing movie Red White And Blue its UK TV premiere.

We chatted to Simon about this superb and raw piece of film and what it was like shooting the movie in America.

HC: Hi Simon, Red White and Blue is very different to your film The Living And The Dead, where did the idea come from?

SR: It came from a mixture of personal fears, reading about crazy events on the internet, wanting to do another horror film that wasn’t obviously classifiable as a horror film and also wanting to make a film that was, like The Living And The Dead, equally tragic and disturbing…

HC: Hello again, let’s chat about Tower Bock. This is in total contrast to Cockney’s Vs Zombies; how do you approach a more serious piece?

JM: Same way I approach any piece - what's the core idea, who are the characters, how do I throw obstacles in their path and have them react believably? Every story has to stand on its own two feet, whether it's deadly serious, or very silly! I just have to resist the urge to puncture the tension with a well timed joke - I love it when characters comment on the extremes of the situation, b ... »

But I need a good story and characters to get me drawn in.
