“Inside the Twisted Minds: How Johnny Wickham and Mike Capes Turned Chilling Fears into Hilarious Thrills in SYS 529”
Mike Capes
Absolutely. So, I can say I was born and raised in Los Angeles, just kind of on the outer skirts, and I’ve always wanted to be a filmmaker, always wanted to be a writer, ever since I saw the movie Goonies in the theaters when I was about seven years old. And so I had grown up, I had started making films when I was a kid, as soon as I can grab a camera, I started making what I could, and I ended up getting into film school, making films in high school, then getting into college, going to film school. Funny story, I graduated with Steven Spielberg, which is kind of a fun little aside, he did his honorary degree when I was walking. So, it’s kind of cool. And so yeah, so I’ve always been very into making films. Then after college, I sort of jumped into writing groups. And that’s when I met Johnny. And him and I were both, you know, writing producing digital content at the time, we were doing our own stuff, we were guys, we’re making our own stuff, but then also working for companies to do that. And we joined a group of guys who just wanted to get in and write some jokes and comedy sketches. And that had blossomed our relationship into writing together for the last 20 years. And yeah, we just continued working in the digital platforms a lot. And then also doing a lot of our own stuff.
