Preston Barta // Features Editor
Fresh Fiction had the opportunity to sit down for an interview with writer/director/star Joel Edgerton (THE GREAT GATSBY, EXODUS), where we discussed his latest film, THE GIFT, and what frightens him.
THE GIFT opens nationwide on Friday, August 7th.
Preston BartaI have been working as a film journalist since 2010, dividing the first four years between radio broadcasting and entertainment writing in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. In 2014, I entered Fresh Fiction (FreshFiction.tv) as the features editor. The following year, I stepped into the film critic position at the Denton Record-Chronicle, a daily North Texas print publication. My time is dedicated to writing theatrical film reviews, at-home entertainment columns, and conducting interviews with on-screen talent and filmmakers, as well as hosting a podcast devoted to genre filmmaking (called My Bloody Podcast). I've been married for ten happy years, and I have one son who is all about dinosaurs just like his dad.
