ʻO ka mea kākau a mea hoʻokele ʻo Tyler Christensen ua hele mai i ka honua aloha aloha weliweli ma mua o kona ʻike maoli ʻana i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli.

ʻO Christensen, ka mea i aloha ʻia e kāna ʻae ponoʻī mai kahi papa waena o ka "maʻamau", ʻohana keʻokeʻo ma Wisconsin, i ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole maopopo iā ia kahi i hele mai ai, akā aia mau ia ma laila. I kona wā kamaliʻi, hana ʻo ia i mau hale ʻuhane ma lalo o ka hale a lawe i kona makuahine i nā huakaʻi alakaʻi.

Ua ʻae ʻo ia ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hauʻoli iki i ka makaʻu ʻana i nā kukui o ke ao a kona kaikaina ke hiki. ʻO Rachel kona inoa, a minamina nona, i kekahi manawa ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka Zelda clip mai ʻO ka Sem Semary i kona wā ʻōpio.

No kahi ʻōpio ʻo Tyler, ʻo kēia ka manawa kūpono o ke ola holoʻokoʻa.

"E hūnā wau ma lalo o kāna moena," ua pili ʻo ia iaʻu i kahi nīnauele. "I kekahi manawa e kali ana wau i ʻelua mau hola akā e hoʻokō wau iā ia. Ke hele ʻo ia i kahi moena e hoʻomaka wau e ʻulupā i ka wahie ma ka moena i ka wā e ʻōlelo ana, 'Raaaaacheeeeel.' ”

ʻO lākou nā mea hoʻomanaʻo mua loa iā ia no ka pīhoihoi o ka makaʻu a me ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana iā haʻi. I kona ʻike ʻana he mea nui nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli, he loli ke ola.

"I koʻu hoʻomaopopo ʻana ua hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa kēlā manaʻo e noho ana i mua o ke kīwī. Ua iho wau i lalo no kēlā mea, "i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

Ua hoʻololi ʻo Horror i ko Christensen ola ma nā ʻano he nui, a kuhikuhi ʻo ia i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a me nā kumuhana i loko o lākou i hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻike me kāna moekolohe ponoʻī e hoʻomaka e hōʻike iā ia iho.

ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke kau i kona manamana lima i ke kumu o kona makemake Psycho keu. No kekahi manawa lōʻihi, manaʻo ʻo ia wale nō ka hōʻike o Māmā i ka hopena. Ma hope o nā makahiki o ka nānā ʻana, eia naʻe, ua ʻike ʻo ia ʻo ko Norman hoʻokaʻawale a me kona mehameha nāna i huki iā ia i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

A ʻoiai, aia nō Kahi moe moe ma ke alanui Elm 2.

"He ʻōpio nō wau i kēia manawa e waiho i loko o nā huaʻōlelo," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, "akā ua hiki iaʻu ke ʻike a noʻonoʻo, aia kekahi mea ma laila e kamaʻāina iaʻu."

ʻO ia kekahi i loko o kēia manawa i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli hou aʻe e hoʻokani nui i kona ola. ʻO ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻO ka Hana Pūnaewele Blair, a i kēia manawa e hoʻonohonoho ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni iā ​​ia i kona ala i ka hana ʻana i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli nona iho.

Ma nā makahiki 16 a pau, ua loaʻa iā Christensen kekahi o kona kaikuaʻana kaikuaʻana e kūʻai i nā likiki no lākou e ʻike ai i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i ka hopena pule hoʻokahi e pāʻani ana ma ka hale keaka kūloko. Ua huki ʻia ʻo ia e ka hoʻolaha hoʻolaha ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a aia ʻo ia ma ka pali, e haʻalulu ana inā he ʻoiaʻiʻo paha ʻaʻole paha.

"Hoʻomaopopo wau i ka pau ʻana o kēlā, ʻokiʻoki i ʻeleʻele i ka hopena, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke neʻe," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia me nā meheu o kēlā pīhoihoi nostalgic i kona leo. "Ua hoʻopaʻa paʻa loa ʻia wau i koʻu noho, a ʻo ka poʻe ma ke kahua kaʻa e nānā ana i ko lākou mau noho noho a me ka nānā ʻana i ka wahi kaʻa i ke ala i kā lākou kaʻa."

Ua hoʻi ʻo ia i ka home me ka wikiwiki e like me ka hiki, paʻi i ka AOL dial-up kahiko, a ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e alualu i nā mea āpau e pili ana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, akā wale nō e ʻike he pahele kalena akamai kēlā. Ma mua o ke kāpae ʻana iā ia, eia naʻe, hoʻā ʻia ke ahi i loko ona.

"Ua hana ka poʻe i kēia a hana ʻia e like me ka hana a nā poʻe ʻē aʻe a hoʻoweliweli i ka lehulehu holoʻokoʻa," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "Ua makemake wau i kēlā!"

I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ʻo ia ia i loko o kēlā.

Ke hana nei i kona ala i luna ma ke ʻano he limahana hana ma nā hōʻike e like me Loaʻaʻo TalentʻAmelika a Hoʻolimalima a iʻole Hana, Ke kākau mau nei ʻo Christensen a ma ka 2016, ua kākau hope loa ʻo ia, hana a kuhikuhi i kāna kiʻi ʻoniʻoni mua, Hale o Purgatory.

I ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻehā mau ʻōpio e ʻimi nei i kahi hale puʻuhonua kaulana, ʻike lākou iā lākou iho, i ke komo ʻana, kūʻē me kā lākou makaʻu nui loa. Ma ke ʻano maʻamau, ua hele mai kekahi o kāna ponoʻī i ka papa i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka palapala ma mua o ka hana ʻia ʻana.

I kahi hiʻohiʻona nui, ʻaʻole wale kekahi o nā mea i hōʻike ʻia i kahi ala weliweli, akā ʻo ka hopena o kona ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha e hōʻalo a / a hoʻouka paha iā ia.

"Aia nō wau i loko o ka lumi moe ke kākau wau i ka palapala a ke nīnau nei wau iaʻu iho he aha ka mea makaʻu loa e hiki ke hana ʻia iaʻu, a aia ia," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "I ka ʻae ʻole ʻia, e hoʻokuʻu ʻia i waho, e lawe i kekahi mai iā ʻoe e like me ka haehae ʻana i ka mana mai kou mau lima aku. Manaʻo wau he nui nā keiki e hakakā me kēlā, a ua ʻike wau e kani hou ana ia. ”

No laila, pehea e makemake ai ʻo Christensen e ʻike i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka queer representation i ka weliweli?

“ʻAʻole pono wau i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli 'gay'. ʻAʻole pono wau i ka meʻe e moekolohe, ”ua wehewehe ʻo ia. "Maikaʻi wau i ka villain gay ma kahi kiʻi hoʻoweliweli ke ʻole ʻo kā lākou villain i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ke ʻano he kāne kāne. Makemake nā kānaka āpau e ʻike iā lākou iho ma ka pale. Aloha nā kaikamahine liʻiliʻi hoohuoi Woman no ka mea ua ʻike lākou i ka wahine ʻo ia ka superhero. Ua hele nui aku ke kaiāulu ʻAmelika-ʻAmelika e ʻike Black Panther i hiki iā lākou ke ʻike iā lākou iho me he poʻe koa lā. "

"Ua kākau wau i kahi kākau moʻolelo ma kahi o ka villain he kāne kāne, akā ʻaʻole ia ke kumu ʻo ia ka villain," hoʻomau ʻo ia. "Ua hana wau no ka mea manaʻo wau inā e kākau kekahi i kēlā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, a laila pono ia i kekahi i ko mākou kaiāulu. ʻAʻole pono wau i kahi moʻolelo e puka mai ana a i ʻole kekahi e hakakā me kā lākou moekolohe ma muli o kā mākou ʻike pinepine ʻana i kēlā. Makemake au i kekahi e hele haʻaheo a e hele nei i ko lākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā e ʻike wale iā lākou iho i kahi moʻolelo weliweli. ”

ʻOiai ka nele o kēia ʻano moho, a hiki i kēia manawa, ke lana mau nei ʻo Christensen no ka wā e hiki mai ana. Kuhi ʻo ia i nā anaina āna e ʻike ai ke hele ʻo ia i kāna hale keaka ʻoniʻoni e ʻike i kahi kiʻi hoʻoweliweli hou. Ma ka liʻiliʻi o ka hapahā o lākou, kuhi ʻo ia he ʻāpana o ke kaiāulu LGBTQ, a lana ka manaʻo o kēlā mau pākēneka e wehe i nā maka o nā studio studio a me nā mea hana.

"Ua ʻōlelo nā kānaka āpau e ʻimi nei lākou i mau leo ​​hou, a he mea wale nō ia o ka manawa ma mua o ka lohe ʻia ʻana o ko mākou mau leo ​​a ʻike pinepine mākou iā mākou iho ma ka pakuhi nui," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

ʻAe like wau me ia, a ke lana nei koʻu manaʻo e ʻike mākou ma mua o ka hope.
