The Acquired Taste is a short film written for screen and directed by Chuck Jett, creator of Empty Coffin Studio Films. It was tastefully adapted by the short story of the same title by author and producer Alexander S. Brown. Fans can anticipate a free viewing of the film in 2017. It is currently being shown at conventions throughout the Southern states. Its next appearance will be at Contraflow Convention in New Orleans, LA.
For the final interview from this dark comedy, I would like to welcome actress Sylvia Brown, so that she may elaborate on her part in The Acquired Taste and her life.
- What made you want to be a part of The Acquired Taste?
I wanted to help my son and see what it was like to act in a film.
- What was your experience like on set?
Everyone was nice and polite and had patience with me.
- What other projects have you been a part of?
A couple of school plays.
- Are there any roles that you would turn down? Or are there any roles that would make you uncomfortable?
Any that regard nudity, animal abuse, and child abuse.
- What role is more fun? The victim, the hero, or the villain. Why?
The villain. I’d rather do it to someone else; rather than have it done to me.
- What got you into acting?
My son. When he wrote the short story The Acquired Taste, he had me in mind as the mother.
- What are some of your favorite movies?
Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Wizard of Oz, Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Stripes, Haunted Honeymoon, Ghost Dad, Back to the Future, E.T., Carousel, Free Willie, Snow Day, Are We there Yet, Romeo and Juliet, What Dreams May Come, Encino Man, The Goonies, The Poseidon Adventure, and many more.

Judy Garland, Michael J. Fox, and The Rock
- Who are your favorite directors?
Stephen Spielberg
- What future projects are you working on?
None, at the moment.
- Tell us about yourself.
I’m a homebody person for the most part. My interests are family, animals, animal rights and activism, paranormal research, astrology, and music.
