I thought we could all start our questions for Mr Ed Sanchez here Thanks Ed, for taking the time to be with us!
I can come up with numerous questions, I am sure. I will start with this one...please bear with me if you have been asked these before and if people have all heard them before.
In the final scene, I read something somewhere that when Heather came down the stairs she was still screaming for a bit after you guys tapped her on the shoulder. Is this true? Where were you in the final moments of the house scene? And at what point did you feel you had an amazing movie?
Thanks!

I want to know about "The Arm" in the BWP production pics at the Freebus Milken site. Was that just a funny prop or at some point did you guys consider doing some kind of Eileen Treacle-like scene for the movie?
Thanks!

When you came up with the idea for the movie, was it a conscious desicion to make it a mock documentary so you would be able to use a cheaper way of filming (And turn all bad things about amateur filming into something that worked to your advantage)
Or was that just a bonus?

Was the Blair Witch legend based on another factual legend and if yes could you tell us some more?
Were you scared that something was going to go wrong during the shooting of BWP?
Did you ever get a feeling of a supernatural force (or the feeling of something watching) in the woods during the filming?
Are the Burkittsville 7 supposed to be related to the original children of Blair?
How did you guys come up with the bundle of sticks and the stickmen ideas?
Was Josh (or someone else) accidently recorded for a brief moment when Heather and Mike call out for him in the middle of the night and she says something like "oh my God" when she sees him step away from the light into darkness? Were there any other accidental shots during the film?
Are you planning another movie equally scary?
Well, that's all I have for now and I am sure we all could come up with a million questions to make a nice documentary.

I'm not sure if this is how it happened, but she was freaking out like crazy that one first take, which is not the one we used in the final film. That take went horribly wrong and we ended up having to come back the next night and re-shoot it.
Gregg and Dan were down in the cellar for the final scene, I was all over the place on a walkie-talkie trying to direct the action.
Gregg and Dan said that Heather was quite upset when they grabbed her from behind. Gregg told me she was incredibly stiff. She had definitely built herself up to something beyond normal acting.
And at what point did you feel you had an amazing movie?
I don't know about that, probably not until we got accepted into SUNDANCE. Dan, Gregg and I did realize we had something special when we as the filmmakers were being completely entranced by certain scenes. It was working for us so well, so we figured that it was going to work for other people as well.
