More Deadly - The Podcast for Women-Made Horror

On this very special episode of More Deadly: The Director’s Cut, Rachel and Ariel were thrilled to speak with (and be completely charmed by) Elza Kephart, director and co-writer of Slaxx. We talk about overcoming the obstacles to success as a woman-identified director, how the evils of fast fashion inspired the film, what it took to bring her killer jeans to life on film, and why sometimes watching pants eat people alive is just good, cathartic fun.
