"ROSS TREGENZA"
Let's get into some questions...
STANDISH: You were the music composer for the new horror video game "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", how'd you land that role & how does it feel being apart of that amazing legacy?
ROSS: It still feels like a dream! I’ve been a horror nerd since my early teens, so I was absolutely delighted to be part of the franchise’s history - what horror fan wouldn’t be!? It came about through my job as composer/audio director at games company Sumo Digital. We split our time making original games and working with publishers on existing licenses. In this case, it was the Kentucky based company Gun Interactive, who had secured the rights to Texas Chain Saw, and needed a developer to make the game. Fast forward 4 years, and we’ve released it and it’s been a huge success, which makes me so happy. My soundtrack for it was released on vinyl too, which was a bonus! It’s certainly the craziest score I’ve composed - it used screams, pigs, aztec death whistle, bones, shaking metal and more - it was a hell of a lot of fun.
STANDISH: You were music composer for video game "Deathloop" in 2021, tell us how you landed this role?
ROSS: I got my Deathloop gig through a series of connections from previous games - primarily due to my composing for the game Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and the contacts I made through that game. Writing for Deathloop was amazing fun - it required a blend of 70s psych rock, industrial music and Jazz - exactly the kind of crazy challenge I love! We got a BAFTA nomination for that soundtrack too, which was pretty wild. Bucket list moment for sure!
STANDISH: You were music composer for video game "Crysis" in 2007, can you tell us more?
ROSS: Actually for the Crysis games, barring a bit of very occasional music, I was primarily working on the sound. Those games were a lot of fun - wildly inventive sound design. There’s very few things as much fun as designing the sound for futuristic weapons. You can really go nuts!
STANDISH: You did sound work on video game "Aliens vs. Predator" in 2010, how'd you land this awesome gig?
ROSS: That was earlier in my career (about 2009 I think) and like you say, a really awesome opportunity. The great things about working on established franchises like that is that you get to play with original source material. Listening to the source sounds for the Xenomorph aliens was so cool. They recorded sounds of pigs and then scratched vinyl records of them to create those amazing alien screams - really inventive stuff.
STANDISH: You were music composer for video game "Team Sonic Racing", how's it feel to be apart of the "Sonic" legacy?
ROSS: It was the lure of Sonic that enticed me to join the company Sumo Digital, which at the time had just opened a new office in Nottingham, UK. Again, I was primarily working on sound design for that game, with Japanese SEGA composer Jun Senuoe writing and sourcing the key music. Some crazy stuff on that soundtrack - some songs got to a tempo above 300BPM! To counterpoint it though, we needed some chilled music for the story mode, so I wrote that content - kinda dreamy, happy Sega inspired tunes - a polar opposite the horror stuff I write most of them for sure. Amazing to be part of Sonic’s legacy! It doesn’t get much more iconic when it comes to video games.
STANDISH: Tell us a little about your overall mission, Ross -
ROSS: I’ve had some great opportunities over the years and I’m very proud of my work. I think what I hope to keep bringing to the table is a spirit of adventure and experimentation. Video games can sometimes be a little conservative when it comes to their soundtracks so I think it’s good to have composers trying fresh ideas and pushing game music to be as varied and fun as possible. We’re at a great point with it in the industry now, there’s a wealth of exciting composers making wonderful varied music.
STANDISH: If you could compose any video game, which would it be?
ROSS: Oooh that’s a tricky one! GTA would obviously be amazing, as it’s huge and crazy game. Mortal Combat would be another one I’d love to do. I feel like I’d love to writer some dark electronic music for it. Overall though, pretty much any new game I work on always has something about it that’s exciting to me as a composer. Having said that, if I composed purely for horror for the rest of my life, I’d be a happy chap!
STANDISH: What's been your favorite project thus far? Do you prefer a certain genre of video game?
ROSS: It has to be The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - I was given a huge amount of creative freedom, and it was really rewarding to push myself and write the wildest music of my career. There certainly is something about horror games that’s particularly fun to write for, but I think anything edgy or fantastical has a lot of merit. The opportunity to go a little nuts is what I always want!
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
ROSS: More games! More crazy soundtracks! Maybe some work on films too - it’d be really cool to compose for a horror movie. I have more games coming out that I’ve written music for, but the game’s industry is very hush hush, so I can’t discuss them yet - sorry to be a tease!
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
ROSS: Working on games and obsessing about synths probably, the same as right now! I’m very happy with the work I do, and if I’m still composing for games at age 100, that’s totally fine with me. In terms of self improvement, I don’t think you can every stop learning when it comes to music, which is part of the joy of it. To that end I’ll try and always keep learning and growing.
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
ROSS: I was lucky to meet an awesome dude called Graeme Norgate when I was younger and became friends. Graeme was already a much loved game composer, having composed for games like Goldeneye, Timesplitters, Killer Instinct and more. I learnt a lot of from him in those early days and I’ve always been hugely grateful.
In terms of people who’ve inspired me, composers like Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Johann Johannsen, and Clint Mansell have been core influences on my sound. And Bowie! I’ve always loved Bowie, and everything about his personality and his music has inspired my work.
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
ROSS: Weirdly, while COVID was an awful time in terms of the devastation it caused, and not seeing friends and family, it was a very important time for me as a composer. It gave me time to dig in and work crazy hard, and up my skills and my commitment to life as a composer. Post lockdown, I’m obviously spending more time with friends and family again, but I try to make sure I’m always working hard on music, or looking for new work.
STANDISH: Where can fans find your work?
ROSS: Come chat to me on social media! I’m friendly and love talking music and games. You can check out my website at www.rosstregenza.com, or find me on twitter, instagram, threads or YouTube - just google my name. I have a weird last name, which makes it easier to find me! Also, you can listen to some of my game soundtracks on Spotify, and other misc tracks and albums I’ve released.
STANDISH: Anything you'd like to include/say here?
ROSS: Just a thank you to the games and horror fan communities for their amazing support, they’re awesome! And if anyone reading this is thinking of getting into composing for games, GO FOR IT! There’s a huge amount of tutorials and info online (including my own YouTube), so give it a go.

"PRODUCER 20"!
"20 personalized exclusive questions for 20! Call it 20 for 20 w/ Standish913!" - Standish
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
STANDISH: Encore named you top 2% in producers, I know you work hard, how's it feel knowing things are all coming together?
20: It's dope to know that all my efforts and years that it took to get here is surely getting here & finally being noticed and seen that I really been out here working! Top 2% is dope, it's a nice lil flex lol.
STANDISH: You produced "Walker Texas Ranger", "XXL", and more for DaBaby, how'd you land these & did you know they'd take off the way they have?
20: How did I land those placements? I was working with DaBaby when he was Baby Jesus and technically we are located in the Carolina area and state Charlotte, NC. I was working out of audiobox studios where he came to record some of his sessions; On top of the fact that I knew 1/2 of his manager Carter from South Coast Music Group years before I met him.
STANDISH: As you know, I interviewed Lil Man J a few months ago, tell us how you and J first met...
20: When I first met Lil Man J (which I call him LMJ) we didn't clique instantly, lol he was 17 at the time. But I met him at Maximus Studios in a session with engineer Khasciense and artist Chris Hendrix when they were doin' a song together called "Soul of Fire".
STANDISH: With that being said, Lil Man J's newest hit "Poppin Out" is produced by you, where'd you get the inspiration for this vibe?
20: Honestly, I made that with the expectation of giving that to a memphis artist, but instead I played it for J at the studio and he gravitated towards it instantly. Plus, LMJ hooks are very catchy so I seen no problem lettin' him jump on the record.
STANDISH: You produced "Pull Up" for Lil Keed, how'd you land this?
20: I landed the "Pull Up" record with Jetson Made it, it was our first time meeting each other and we made that beat right on the spot together. Further down the timeline he called me and told me we got one and the record brought Lil Uzi outta retirement. Shout out to Jetson Made It
STANDISH: What would you say makes Eliot Bhor so special to you for your projects?
20: The fact that he's humble and I instantly gravitate to his guitar skills. It has a hint of Spanish tones and still manages to capture emotion in its skill and is what I admire.
STANDISH: If you could work with one artist, who would it be?
20: Future, all because of the fact he is the first I seen start from the grind and take it completely to mainstream success. I've watched from 16 to now through my brother's tie with the dungeon family.
STANDISH: Tell us a little about your overall mission, 20 -
20: My mission was always to set out and prove a point that I could do it. Lil brother had to step in for big brother and make way for myself and show my kids that consistency and focus with sacrifices does reward you, and as a dad not returning back empty handed.
STANDISH: Out of all the projects you've done thus far, what's been your favorite?
20: "Blank Blank" with DaBaby. It was no real pressure to be great, just the vibe of 2 people working to be heard.
STANDISH: How old were you when you first realized you wanted to do what you do today?
20: 16 years old.
STANDISH: Where do you find your motivation to be great?
20: In knowing that I dont have a plan B.. this is my plan A,B,C and D.
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
20: AiRBNBeats Retreats for producers to grow, not just with music but mentally and socially, with confidence and a foundation of like minded peers.
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
20: On an Island with a beautiful model “preferably one that has been at least on Vogue”. Sippin on strong drinks with a blew chew in my hand and playing with her with my time in the sunshine lol.
STANDISH: Being in this crazy busy industry, what does 20 find a relaxing day as?
20: A day I can sit down pay attention to nature without a phone or expectations to go anywhere.
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
20: Mentors are anyone with knowledge and wisdom. I watch everyone from the homeless to the rich, and take bits and pieces from what inspires me about that person or about how that knowledge can help me.
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
20: Being at home, while at the peak of my career not being able to move outside
STANDISH: What advice would you give upcoming creatives like yourself?
20: Learn numbers, learn how to negotiate, learn true value, and learn to not to take things personal (unless IT WAS PERSONAL).
STANDISH: Where can fans find your beats?
20: By reaching to me personally, serious inquiries only.
STANDISH: Anything you'd like to include?
20: Nope lol Just learn the laws of attraction.
STANDISH: What are your social links?
20: Igot20onmybeat on all plaforms except facebook that's Producer20

"RICHARD JOHN WALTERS"
Richard John Walters is an American film and television actor, best known for playing Harry Warden in the 2009 horror film, My Bloody Valentine 3D.
----
Let's get into some questions...
STANDISH: You played "Harry Warden" in 2009's "My Bloody Valentine", how did you land that role? How long did it take to film?
RICHARD: I went to LA from 2001 to 2006 and then when I came home to Pittsburgh I was called in for an audition with the director Patrick lussier. SAG calls this a local hire.
STANDISH: With that being said, what's it feel like to continue the MBV legacy?
RICHARD: It's awesome. It's an honor. People are still interested in it. Some people like the original better, other people like our "reimagining" better. Some people like them both.
STANDISH: You played "Paul" In 2023's "Valentine Bluffs", how'd you land this role?
RICHARD: They called me on the phone. And I told him I was interested, and it was a go. They were filming in New Jersey and were only an hour away when I was living in New Jersey.
STANDISH: You were an addition for "Frankenstein's Monster" in "Van Helsing", can you tell us more?
RICHARD: I was a stand-in for the Frankenstein on Van helsing. One of the scenes which took place in the carriage they had a mic on me and I got a credit for it. I'm actually not sure if I'm in that scene or not. They can do what they want in the editing room. Also, I was the CGI for Mr Hyde when he battles van helsing. I remember doing movement on a set with Hugh Jackman.
STANDISH: Tell us a little about your overall mission, Richard -
RICHARD: A couple of years ago I moved to New Jersey and I wanted to get into comedy and performing music on my guitar. That move did not work out for me, and I'm back home in Pittsburgh now. I'm playing my guitar and would like to do some performing. I want to start doing some more acting. The Horricon circuit has picked up for me in the last couple years.
STANDISH: How does it feel to be such an inspiration in the Horror community?
RICHARD: It's great. I love to talk to people. Like I say, it's great that people remember the movie and are still watching it. It's great to be identified with "The Miner".
STANDISH: I see that you're an attorney, can you tell us more about this?
RICHARD: Officially, I'm retired. But, it was one I went to law school that I first became interested in acting. I was very shy about speaking up in class and participating and I vowed never to feel that powerless again. So when I was done with law school and became an attorney I began to do community theater and commercials.
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
RICHARD: I want to try to perform musically like sing country, really like John Prine. I'd like to start auditioning again to get some movie roles.
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
RICHARD: Playing guitar doing some acting, doing some Horrorcons, and taking it easy.
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
RICHARD: There's a local actor around here in Pittsburgh his name is Marty Giles, and there's an acting teacher, a method guy, he took lessons from Sandy Meisner, his name is Steven Black.
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
RICHARD: I was trying to transition to a new career, and a new residence, I moved out of state to new jersey. I think the timing was bad and it didn't work out. I was smoking a ton of marijuana and struggling with some mental health issues. I'm back to being straight and sober and just taking it one day at a time now.
STANDISH: Where can fans find your work?
RICHARD: IMDB has a list of my stuff. This is my demo reel:
https://youtu.be/E6dC8TiVzgs?si=pC9uhoqdNT2Ai9kv
at my YouTube channel @rjwesquire, you should be able to find my videos.
STANDISH: Anything you'd like to include?
RICHARD: Don't be afraid to contact me or friend me on facebook, I know it's old-fashioned but I'm an old dinosaur anyway @rjwesquire
Also today is the 16th anniversary of My Bloody Valentine 3D opening in theaters!

"LAUREN BUDD"!
Lauren Budd is a British model and an award-winning actress. She has featured in magazines such as GQ, Marie Claire, Maxim, House Of Solo, Men’s Health and Playboy Paris to name a few. Since she toured a sold-out show which included runs at Soho Theatre and Camden Peoples Theatre, she has gone on to work on several feature films. This includes the highly anticipated horror remake of the fairy tale classic, in which she plays an evil stepsister in Cinderella’s Curse that is due for cinema release early next year. Lauren is currently working on a crime, drama feature due for Amazon Prime release in 2024 which will be her second film on the streaming plaform. She is also involved in developing a fantasy, adventure series with JKO Films and leading the Call It Out Campaign, a public service project aiming to empower victims of Public Sexual Harassment.
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
STANDISH: Your iMDb shows post production credits for "Cinderella's Curse", can you tell us more about this film and your role as the "Evil Step Sister"?
LAUREN: Cinderellas Curse is a wonderfully sadistic spin on the traditional Cinderella tale we all grew up with. Audiences can expect some truly horrific scenes, both spine chilling and gruesome in equal measure. Viewers will need a strong stomach for this one! Cinderella’s Evil Stepsister Ingrid was great fun to play, she has major girl boss energy with plenty of spice and sass. She’s completely over-sensitive alongside with being perfectly evil. She has a clear idea of what she wants, and she will stop at nothing to get it, however that’s not to say she doesn’t come across her fair share of trials and tribulations. Whilst the film predominantly follows Cinderella, Ingrid certainly has her own story to tell.
STANDISH: With landing the "Cinderella's Curse" role, would you say that it's opened new doors for you?
LAUREN: YES! I would say so. The film caught a lot of mattention in the mainstream media before we had even filmed anything, so the hype has raised profiles for everyone involved, especially in the horror industry. I hope it’ll open even more doors once it has been released and audiences enjoy the film and the performances in it.
STANDISH: You were awarded the Best Supporting Actress at the Five Continents Intl Film Awards, can you tell us more about this award?
LAUREN: The Five Continents Intl Film Awards is a wonderful festival that shows live screenings of the winning films from all over the world. This means you are competing on an international level and the filmmakers’ projects are seen by a vast audience. However, when At The End Of The Road won we were just coming out of a national lockdown so the live screening only happened online, much like everything else in that year for the arts. Although this was a shame I will never forget the feeling of
winning that award, not only because of the sense of achievement but the energy it gave me after the lull of lockdown. It was a very welcomed boost to the system!
STANDISH: Out of all of your work, what's been your favourite?
LAUREN: Each project is so different from the last one, there is the creative side of things but also navigating the jigsaw of a production that happens around that. When I think of a piece of work,
I find it hard to just think of the finished product. For me it’s all about how we made it, the cast, the crew, the production, the locations even the catering and transport. I wouldn’t be able to begin to compare them, I’ve gained something so different from all of them, not just as a performer but on a personal level too. I must take the vanilla option and say, I am afraid I don’t have a favourite – yet!
STANDISH: Tell us a little about your overall mission, Lauren -
LAUREN: I suppose the goal posts keep changing. A little over five years ago my mission was to get into drama school, then it was to be cast in something, then it was to get an agent. It can be a little overwhelming to only focus on the end goal with all its uncertainty. I try to stay present, be proud of what I have achieved, be hella thankful for the opportunities I have and work hard for the next one. (I’ve never used the word hella before, but it felt right). I’d say my overall mission is creative freedom. Be in the position where I can make the films I want with likeminded people, telling the stories I believe in without worrying about making rent!
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
LAUREN: I have a brilliant thriller feature due for release Summer 2024 and I am currently in Folkstone finishing a comedy feature which should be released early next year ahead of Cannes Film Festival. In February I am working on a crime drama feature and I am currently collaborating with a production company developing a fantasy–action series. I am most looking forward to the psychological-horror that I am developing with a renowned director and sound composer. It explores themes of scrupulosity, sexual identity and expression. Outside of film I am currently leading a public service campaign called The Call It Out Campaign that aims to empower victim of Public Sexual Harassment. You can find out more about this on our Instagram @call_it_out_info - we are just starting up so we would appreciate the support.
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
LAUREN: Still working my ass off.
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
LAUREN: During my journey into this industry, I have been lucky enough to pick up a handful of experienced mentors/friends that I regularly turn to or guidance. One name I would like to mention is director and music composer James Simpson who does a lot for new artists. He regularly holds meet ups and social events to help encourage networking and has always made himself available to me when I’ve needed advice, or a glass of red wine – thank you James! The most consistent and solid support I have is my partner. He has truly shown me what it is to be kind and compassionate. I am always learning from him and I can confidently say, hands down, I would not be where I am today without him.
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
LAUREN: I mentioned earlier that I graduated drama school only a few months before COVID hit. I was working on a show at the Vaults Festival, in the middle of the run we were told the whole place was shutting down. All that momentum you get after graduation dissolved into nothing, it was utter shit. However, at least we got to graduate, students in earlier year groups had to do a lot of their course online, how can you do physical theatre online? I felt so awful for them. The midst of lockdown was difficult, but there was a strong sense of a much greater sadness and tragedy happening that it was hard to feel too sorry for myself. It's the hangover of COVID that's got my back up. The cuts in the funding to the arts,
theatres and shows closing never to be opened again, the Government suggesting people in the creative industry should get a job in cyber.. The industry is in a fragile state but hopefully we can work towards rebuilding something new.
STANDISH: If you could choose one role to play, what would it be?
LAUREN: Carey Mulligan as Cassandra in A Promising Young Woman – the plot, the characters, the wardrobe, the message, YES.
Also Velma Kelly - Chicago
Lisbeth Salander –
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Rachel Watson – The Girl On The Train Alieen Wuornos – Monster Ruth Ginsburg – On The Basis Of Sex Villanelle – Killing Eve
STANDISH: Where can fans find your work?
LAUREN: I am pretty good at posting on Instagram, I’ll usually give a little hint when I am on set for something and then post about it properly when I am allowed to! IMDb is very on it and up to date with current and future work. My first ever feature film has been released onto Amazon Prime! I play Jess in Freddy’s Fridays, the flat mate of Detective Lila who is trying to solve the case of a string of mysterious murders that are connected to a demonic book that brings dolls to life. You can check out a full list of my work on my Spotlight page www.spotlight.com/7890-8974-5366
STANDISH: Anything you'd like to include?
LAUREN: Thank you very much for asking to interview me. It’s been a pleasure to reflect and answer your questions. I hope you and your readers have found it interesting, give me a follow on Insta to stay updated with my journey!
