Chicago-based filmmaker Jennifer Reeder makes movies that are personal, handmade, and too disturbing for Gabe to watch. This week we talk to the “mystical-teen-noir” auteur about her new film PERPETRATOR (currently streaming on Shudder) and the Jennifer Reeder Universe. PLUS: High School horror, creepy paintings, attending the Art Institute of Chicago, being beloved by Germans, creating an interconnected body of work, Riot Grrrl energy, a robust and consistent relationship with blood, Alicia Silverstone, Jennifer’s hatred of musicals, biting MAGNOLIA, the Music Box, and why the fuck is ‘90s music so expensive to license?
