Anthony Pavone: A Collaborator's Journey with Curry Barker in the World of Horror Films
Anthony Pavone has been a longtime collaborator and friend of Curry Barker, the writer-director behind the successful horror film "Obsession." Pavone starred in Barker's earlier horror short film "The Chair," which gained recognition on the festival circuit and paved the way for Barker's feature directorial debut. "Obsession" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and became a box office hit, with Pavone making a cameo appearance in the film.
Living with Barker and his creative partner Cooper Tomlinson during the success of "Obsession" has been inspiring for Pavone, who has seen firsthand the hard work and dedication that goes into their projects. While Pavone auditioned for a role in "Obsession," he ultimately did not land the part but has since seen an increase in audition opportunities and industry interest following the film's success.
Pavone's career goals include being an actor who produces his own projects and collaborating with Barker on future endeavors. Despite not being cast in Barker's upcoming project "Anything But Ghosts," Pavone remains supportive of his friend's work and looks forward to seeing the finished film. He believes that Barker has the potential to turn his earlier short film "The Chair" into a feature-length project if the right idea comes along.
The success of "Obsession" has been a source of pride for Pavone, who admires Barker's work ethic and dedication to his craft. He is confident that Barker will continue to handle his success with grace and is excited to see what the future holds for his friend's career. Overall, Pavone is grateful to be a part of Barker's journey and looks forward to potentially collaborating on future projects.
