CLOSE UP: Roger Conners (Director, Writer, Actor; “MEAT”)
An exclusive interview with Roger Conners—the suburban Cleveland filmmaker who writes, directs, produces, and stars in genre-bending horror that champions the underdog. From indie acting roles to his directorial breakthrough with Rebirth, Roger shares the trials and triumphs of bringing a creative vision to life on a modest budget. His latest slasher, MEAT, blends vintage scares with a proudly LGBTQ+ cast and standout costume design, proving that representation amplifies the emotional impact of terror. Through candid stories of personal loss transformed into creative fuel, Roger highlights why authentic queer narratives are essential to horror’s next chapter. Tune in for a masterclass in indie filmmaking, resilience, and fearless storytelling.
