PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker and actress Katt Shea (POISON IVY, THE RAGE: CARRIE 2, STRIPPED TO KILL, PSYCHO III, NANCY DREW AND THE HIDDEN STAIRCASE) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss her career journey. From putting on shows in her backyard at age twelve and realizing she could enlist other neighborhood kids and charge their parents to come watch… to becoming a working actress on films like BARBARIAN QUEEN, HOLLYWOOD HOT TUBS, THE DEVASTATOR… to learning all that she could about the filmmaking process while acting for the great Brian DePalma on SCARFACE and the legendary Anthony Perkins on PSYCHO III… to the crazy hurdles she jumped through in order to convince Roger Corman to green-light her directorial debut STRIPPED TO KILL… to how the production wound up having a bigger budget than other Concorde Pictures’ films and how the overall Corman experience prepared her to solve any hurdle a shoot throws at her… to the absolutely incredible story of the dog (“Bear”) that was rescued in real life in order to play “Ruby” the rescue dog star of her 2022 film RESCUED BY RUBY… to the challenges of working on a film with a Director of Photography that only wanted to do things their own way… to accepting the job to direct THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 on merely four days notice while knowing all along that she’d have a target on her back for daring to direct a sequel to CARRIE… to what “Carrie” herself (Academy Award winner Sissy Spacek) said about the sequel once she saw it… to how time can change movies that were originally panned (like SCARFACE) and see them go on to become beloved films and part of pop culture… to the way life wound up imitating art with her 1992 film POISON IVY… to what it was like being one of the only women at the early Masters of Horror get togethers… to why she loves teaching acting so much and how age and experience can really strengthen an artist’s spine… Katt’s fearless 40+ year career is certainly one to be celebrated.
