PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmakers Cameron and Colin Cairnes (LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL, 100 BLOODY ACRES) join Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope Studio to discuss their career journey and the making of their new hit film. From growing up in Australia in the 80’s as fans of cinema and the movies that inspired them to pursue a career in filmmaking… to the late night talk shows, hosts, and famous moments in television that inspired their script for LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL… to the challenges they faced crafting a story set entirely in one location and implementing a “found footage/documentary” style… to the various technical nuances and camera tricks they used to present the film in as realistic a way as possible… to how they work together as both brothers and filmmakers… to the social media backlash the duo faced over using A.I. technology to generate a few of the film’s graphics (and WHEN that decision was actually made)… Cameron and Colin take us deep behind the scenes of one of the year’s most talked about horror films and their devilish late night journey together. Meet Adam Green at Texas Frightmare Weekend in Irvine, TX May 17th - 19th where he’ll be appearing alongside Kane Hodder, Danielle Harris, and FX artist Robert Pendergraft from the HATCHET franchise and offering the first ever “Victor Crowley” photo op!

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Michael Mohan (IMMACULATE, THE VOYEURS, EVERYTHING SUCKS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey and the making of his hit new horror film IMMACULATE (in theaters now). From seeing BACK TO THE FUTURE as a child and how the film set him on his journey of becoming a filmmaker… to going to Chapman for film studies and the indie films that made the impossible dream of becoming a filmmaker seem possible for him… to shooting and editing short films and scenes for actor friends in need of “tape” for their reels… to his trials and tribulations working on various film and television projects on his way to his first feature… to what it’s been like working with actress Sydney Sweeney on multiple projects… to how he convinced the IMMACULATE producers to hire him with an extensive pitch deck… to some completely coincidental similarities that IMMACULATE shares with a certain other “neo-Nunsploitation” horror film that’s currently in theaters… to his great advice on not relying only on sustainable gigs… and how he created IMMACULATE’s incredible final shot… Mohan is certainly having an amazing moment and deservedly so! Also… Adam gets Sea Monkeys again after a traumatic first experience with them as a child, the group shares the first CD’s they ever bought, Joe and Michael explain their philosophy on using Letterboxd, and Adam reveals his biggest personal issue with the theatrical poster for his 2010 film FROZEN in this terrifically candid conversation between three filmmakers.

Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a filmmaker trying to cope with the anxiety of directing, Vera gives sound advice on what to consider before going the “parody” or “fair use” route with a project, and Adam finally confronts Joe over an issue he’s had with him for years.
