The Kondelik brothers both wrote and directed the Asylum\u2019s soon to be released \u201cAirplane vs Volcano\u201d. They grew up watching classic 80s action and horror films and at an early age were creating short films with their VHS camera.\u00a0 Their working bond has been strong since the beginning considering they would team up and scare their sister, as Jon will mention.<\/p>\n

James and Jon both were writers of \u201cA House is not a Home\u201d along with Victoria Dadi.\u00a0 James and Jon both\u00a0have also\u00a0worked in other fields.\u00a0 Jon as an actor, writer, and in the casting department, and James has been an editor and writer amongst other jobs.<\/p>\n

Five Quick Questions with Dual Visions \u2013 Jon and James Kondelik <\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quick introductions, both of you obviously have been involved with film for years.\u00a0 Prior to your first films, what got you into the field?<\/p>\n

JON: We have our parents and grandmother to thank for our love of movies! Our father especially he would show us the best of the best when we were young such as: The Terminator, Robocop, Conan the Barbarian, Tremors, The Hidden(we called it the ‘Worm Movie’), Army of Darkness, and many others in that realm! We’d also watch a ton of horror films on our own like Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Pet Sematery, Stephen King’s It, and anything that’d scare the shit out of our little sister. The love for film was there, but it was never a realized possible career choice until high school in our film class. Of course, we made sketches and stop-motion shorts on our VHS camcorder. So I guess that love of watching and telling stories has always been in the deep recesses of our minds.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JAMES:\u00a0 We both started making short films at\u00a0 a young age. After realizing that I spent more thought on making my films then my school work thats when it hit me (and my parents haha) that my life was for filmmaking. Jon usually acted and performed in front of the camera where i was behind. After high school I sought a career in editing.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dual Visions has been around for several years, what made you decide to start up your own company?<\/p>\n

JON: It kinda goes back to the saying “If you want it done right–do it yourself.” We’ve learned a lot from working at a film studio and we’re applying what we’ve learned on to the films we want to make. This way the only people who we’ll be answering to are ourselves.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

JAMES: I think Jon and I decided that we wanted to make and produce our own material after working on so many films. <\/b><\/p>\n

We really wanted to make the films that challenges us as filmmakers while showing audiences something new and thrilling.
