‘M3GAN’ Director’s First Movie ‘Housebound’ Is Even Better
Gerard Johnstone, a New Zealand-based writer, director, and producer, entered the feature film scene with “Housebound” in 2014. Prior to this, he had only one project – working as a director and writer for 14 episodes of TV personality Jaquie Brown’s sitcom, “The Jaquie Brown Diaries,” from 2008 to 2009. Interestingly, Johnstone decided to delve into the horror genre for his next venture. He acknowledged that this choice was driven by the fact that such movies were the only financially viable options on a low budget in New Zealand (and most other places).
