Named one of Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film," Laura Moss is a brilliant director and production designer from New York. We screened their short FRY DAY (link here) at the Final Girls Berlin Film Festival (which won our audience award) and it was immediately clear they were someone to watch out for. I sat down with Laura in New York to talk about making their first feature film (produced by Fangoria Films), falling in love with horror, and navigating the film world..
