Writer-Director Jim Ojala Talks Movies, Mutations And ‘Strange Nature’ In An Interview

Jim Ojala has made quite a name for himself in the special effects world working on films like Where the Wild Things Are, Thor, Pacific Rim, and many others. Now, Ojala is making a name for himself as a writer/director of Strange Nature. I spoke with Jim about his eco-horror film and more and I have to say I was left very impressed with both his talent and his determination, he has spent the past fifteen years building up to make this film.
