Mimosas With Michael

I met Edward last year at his film festival - The Anti-Hero Production Genre Film Festival - in Burbank, CA when the short film, The Deal, I directed premiered there. I had many conversations with him about his film career including his documentary and I knew he was someone I had to have on the show! BIO: Edward Payson grew up in Derry, New Hampshire. Edward knew since he was a little boy that he wanted to direct films. He packed up and moved to California at twenty years old to attend Columbia College Hollywood where he went on to achieve a bachelor's degree in Cinema. While a freshman at Columbia he directed his first feature film, Morbid: A Love Story. It was an ambitious project with a a 70 person cast that took Edward two years to complete due to many complications including the unfortunate and unexpected loss of his father Edward Payson Senior. The film was a finalist at the Las Vegas Film Festival. Edward followed up Morbid with the drama A Mother's Love and two more short films Happy Anniversary and The Itch all in the thriller/horror genre. He went on from there to help produce two feature films, The ID Proxy directed by his friend and New Hampshire native Matthew C. Dummond and the other The Rule of Law directed by his new found friend Moziko Wind. Edward also became friends with the also talented horror director Brandon Scullion and held key roles in his films, The Black Guitar, The Suicide Films, and Recess. Upon graduating Columbia College Edward directed his second feature the documentary film, Unsigned, a story following three unsigned rock bands out of LA through there every day struggles and triumphs. He later would return to the horror genre, directing The Cohasset Snuff Film in 2011, a gritty look into the mind of serial killer Collin Mason. Here Edward met Director of Photography Kevin A. McCarthy. They worked so well together Kevin and Edward directed the action/horror feature Fury: The Tales of Ronan Pierce in 2012 starring Kevin's brother Michael McCarthy, Jordan Elizabeth, Kane Hodder and R.A. Mihailoff. Instagram: Edward Payson

On October 13, 2017 my previous podcast, When Straight Meets Gay, launched an hour long episode with a few of the creators of the original Friday the 13th: Victor Miller, the writer; Harry Manfredini, the composer; and Adrienne King as Alice. Even though the podcast is no longer available I kept the recording. I love this interview. We had the best time - it was great to interview them with co-host Richard Trejo. I hope you enjoy this interview as Mimosas With Michael presents the When Straight Meets Gay Podcast interview of Friday the 13th.

I met Candice through my manager Matt Chassin. We met at a horror festival down in San Diego and the first she said to me was 'I want to die in a horror film; and I want to die in a blaze of glory.' So I said...done! I used her likeness in one of my horror shorts for Horror House but her awesome film is coming soon so stay tuned. In the meantime, listen to us yuck it up, with guest host Richard Trejo. BIO: Candice Callins is an actress, writer and producer, most known for her role in My Crazy Ex on Lifetime. She was born in Los Angeles, California and started acting at the age of 7 in theatre, performing in plays at school. After college, she knew she wanted to do film. She made a plan and enrolled in cold reading classes to prepare. Her second week in class, she was given a business card from a manager. He believed in her and wanted to represent her without any film credits. She realized at that moment this was the career for her. She hasn’t looked back, even when others tried to discourage her. Since beginning her film career she has been on Supreme Justice and Critique It with Toni and Morgan. She is currently working on The Carting Call which she wrote, produced and is starring in.

Our new theme song for 2019! Thoughts?
