Exclusive: Interview with Horror Nerd Productions

The rise of the small budget horror is something that has kept cinema, and streaming services for that matter, fresh and exciting.

Away from the bright lights and big budgets of franchises like Halloween and The Conjuring, there are a number of small production companies, indie directors and up-and-coming actors and actresses all busying themselves in creating exciting films free from the restraints brought about by the big studios.

To that end, I interviewed Dillon Brown from Horror Nerd Productions about what it took to start up the company, and their latest fan film – a Jurassic World short that bridges the gap between 2018’s Fallen Kingdom and next year’s Dominion.

Exclusive: Interview with Lee from Steps about his new acting roles

Interview with Lee Latchford-Evans

Foreword by Adam Brannon: A few weeks ago I got the chance to interview Steps’ Lee Latchford-Evans to discuss his journey into the world of acting. For those that don’t know Steps (and if so, where on earth have you been for the last 20 or so years), they are a British pop group who shot to fame in 1997 with hit-after-hit of wonderful 90s pop.

After the band split in 2001, they all went their separate ways, embarking on different projects, but since 2017, they have been giving the UK pop scene more smash-hits. Anyway, I digress (you can tell I’m a big fan) – I decided to sit down with Lee to discuss a new comedy horror film he had decided to star in – Paintball Massacre.

Shot on a micro-budget of just £100,000, Paintball Massacre was filmed in the heart of the English countryside in Somerset and has secured physical and digital distribution during the Covid pandemic, which is a feat in itself. This is what Lee had to tell me about working on the film – enjoy!

Exclusive: Interview with Curt Turner @ Screen24

AScreen24 interviews cinemas slowly reopen to the public across the UK, many of us have been reminiscing about the last time we went to watch a film on the big screen. For me, that was at the beginning of March, just a week or so before Boris Johnson announced that all non-essential businesses needed to shut their doors for the foreseeable future.

For one family though, going to the cinema was a nightly occurrence. Curt Turner, his wife, and his two children have had the enjoyment of their very own, fully-realised cinema right in their back garden. Named Screen24, I spoke to Curt about the process of building a fully-functioning cinema where the admission was free and every seat was the best seat in the house. Here’s what he had to say.

Exclusive: Interview with Courtney J. Clark

Courtney James Clark interviewForeword by Adam Brannon: We’re rounding out 2018 with a monster-sized interview. For those who have been living under a rock for the majority of the last twelve months, 2018 signals the 25th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic, Jurassic Park.

The influence this film had on cinema post-release is something truly special. It revolutionised special effects on the big screen and brought realistic CGI and animatronic dinosaurs into Hollywood for the very first time.

To celebrate, and in our final post of 2018, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jurassic World’s Courtney James Clark, who most of you will recognise as the park’s Mosasaur  keeper. I spoke to her about her time working on the film and her career in general. Continue reading
