Moviemaker Scooter McCrae burst onto the scene in 1994 with an underground shot on video zombie classic, Shatter Dead. The movie was better technically than most first time films for auteurs in the 90s, and had more depth of subject than most as well.

After Shatter Dead he has gone on to make Sixteen Tongues, a 17-minute short Saint Frankenstein, and a new movie that got a VSP release at Black Friday, Black Eyed Susan.

I would consider any of these movies as must see. Scooter is an intellectual with an anarchic spirit and every project is inventive and pushes genre in new and exciting ways.

In addition to being a talented moviemaker, however, Scooter is a gem of a human and his humility and humanity shine during the episode. I can't wait for people to hear the passion and sharp wit coming from Scooter in the episode. I'll leave a few links below to where you can find his work. Let me know what you think of the interview and if you would like to hear from more underground and SOV auteurs.

Elijah was kind enough to join and talk about his career as a filmmaker, his day job at Vinegar Syndrome, and his passion project Dekanalog. 

This was a very candid interview and we had fun talking about the wonderful movies in the Dekanalog back catalog. We also briefly got into a thought provoking topic about why the cinema of certain countries naturally seems more compelling than others. I had a great time with Elijah and I hope you enjoy it too!
