Luis Pedron: Friendships in a big city like NYC could be either super close or superficial. Please describe some of the different types of friends/relationships portrayed in your movie FROST.

Steve Clark: They are probably quite close to the friendships we all have. Some of Jack's friendships, say with Sophie, Scotch and Ozzy, are life-saving and deep, and others – though important in their own way and pleasant –are less significant.

Luis Pedron: Please describe your lead character Jack Frost and why he is nostalgic about his first (former) love.   

Steve Clark: I think Jack is especially nostalgic for his first love because he does not want to grow up.  In a way he is clinging to the life he had before his mother killed herself.  Growing up would mean coming to terms with his mother's death and saying goodbye to her, which he is unprepared to do. . . I think there is a place reserved inside us for our first love, which is never vacated. However it should be looked back upon like one's first apartment, with warmth and nostalgia, not with the desire to move back in 25 years later!

Luis Pedron:  What makes Jack Frost the last of the dying breed of International Playboys?

Steve Clark: Kate Hardwick, the reporter, calls him that for revenge . . . We use that title "The Last International Playboy" when referring to Jack a bit tongue-in-cheek; he is certainly not a playboy on an international scale.

Luis Pedron:  The elite high society socialites are known to be shallow and wreckless. What will make us the audience empathize with these characters?

Steve Clark: Yes, that was one of our main obstacles. But I think at the end of the day people judge others on who they are rather than what class they come from. 

Luis Pedron:  There's an interesting relationship between the young Sophie, who ends up as Jack Frost's surrogate mother figure / savior / confidante. Why did you choose to have an unusual but unique relationship like this?

Steve Clark: Since Jack is consumed with the young Carolina from his past, we thought it would be interesting to have a girl the same age in his present. In a way the Sophie character becomes a bridge between these two worlds.  I liked that ambiguity, and the way Sophie guides Jack out of this nostalgic childhood haze into a more mature clarity.

Luis Pedron:  Depression is something that a lot of the young and the not so young have to deal with in the city. What are some of your suggestions in dealing with this problem?

Steve Clark: I think the horror of depression is that you feel you are the only person who has felt this feeling in the history of the world, and that you are utterly alone with no vocabulary to articulate what is happening to you. . . Darkness Visible by William Styron is such a beautiful expression of this horror and the path through and out of it . . .I would say you should talk to someone who can help you.

Luis Pedron: What was your casting process like? How did Jason Behr (Roswell) get involved in the project?

Steve Clark: UTA sent Jason the script and he met with me in LA.  There was no question that he was the person we were looking for . . .

Luis Pedron:  How was your experience filming your project?

Steve Clark: Most fun of my life.

Luis Pedron:  Do you have any advice to young filmmakers out there in their pursuit of their dreams?
