Filmmaker Damian Mc Carthy (ODDITY, CAVEAT) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey and the making of his new feature ODDITY. From the films that scared him and inspired him to become a storyteller of his own… to writing and directing his own short films for the last 2 decades… to how he put together his terrific first feature film (CAVEAT) which had the unfortunate timing of being released right at the height of the global pandemic… to how he buckled down and wrote three new scripts while the rest of the world was shut down and learning how to bake bread or binging TV shows… to how he crafted his screenplay for ODDITY to contain so many genuine scares in a single location setting… to how storyboarding helped him achieve such evocative frames of fear on a tight timeline… to the design of the film's signature "screaming statue"… to what it was like directing one actor playing two roles… to ODDITY's triumphant win of the "Midnighter Award" at South By South West… to the film's theatrical release (it's in theaters now!)… Damian has crafted a ghastly chiller that hits all the right notes!
Also, Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a writer trying to get their screenplays in front of the right people.
