NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! For this episode, I sit down with acclaimed writer & director Sean Cisterna, the creative force behind the inspiring documentary “Silver Screamers”. This heartwarming film follows a group of senior citizens who come together to create an amateur horror short film titled “The Rug”. Along the way, they dive into the world of camera angles, special effects, sound design, and teamwork—proving that creativity, friendship, and resilience flourish at any age. I explore the highlights of Sean’s career and uncover the journey that led him to this touching project. Expect behind-the-scenes stories of teaching filmmaking techniques to cast members in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, personal moments that shaped the narrative, and a spirited conversation about why age should never be a barrier for bold storytelling or artistic reinvention. This is one interview you won’t want to miss.

An exclusive interview with Roger Conners—the suburban Cleveland filmmaker who writes, directs, produces, and stars in genre-bending horror that champions the underdog. From indie acting roles to his directorial breakthrough with Rebirth, Roger shares the trials and triumphs of bringing a creative vision to life on a modest budget. His latest slasher, MEAT, blends vintage scares with a proudly LGBTQ+ cast and standout costume design, proving that representation amplifies the emotional impact of terror. Through candid stories of personal loss transformed into creative fuel, Roger highlights why authentic queer narratives are essential to horror’s next chapter. Tune in for a masterclass in indie filmmaking, resilience, and fearless storytelling.
