The Amazing Jeremy Sumrall of First Day of Winter Films Joins us for a conversation that will blow your mind around Sex, sexuality and gender plus how graphic and exploitative horror and thiller films are a source of pleasure and a healthy outlet of expression!!
Jeremy Sumrall: Self-professed “Texploitation Flickmaker” Jeremy Sumrall has worked in independent film since 2007, when he was cast as the hulking masked killer known as "The Beast" in the award-winning slasher flick SWEATSHOP, which made him fall in love with the nuts-and-bolts of filmmaking.
In 2013, Jeremy caught the eye of FANGORIA MAGAZINE with a provocative tribute to 80s slasher flicks in the form of a poster (created by infamous horror artist Marc Schoenbach) for a then-unrealized movie called THE PICKAXE MURDERS PART III: THE FINAL CHAPTER which was scripted as a sequel to a movie that never existed. With the sudden interest in his work, Jeremy completed the script and over the course of the next year, several genre stalwarts would sign onto the project. Even radio legend Howard Stern would give it a nod, as Stern Show employee Sal Governale was cast as a sleazy gas station owner. The love-letter to 80s slasher films was eventually released under the simplified name PICKAXE in 2019 from Wild Eye Releasing and subsequently enjoyed a lengthy stay near the top of Amazon's Best Selling Horror DVDs, reaching as high as #18.
He is currently in pre-production on an action-exploitation flick called HELLFIRE, which recently concluded a successful fundraising campaign via Indiegogo (it's still IN DEMAND, which means you can still donate and get cool perks here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hellfire-grindhouse-action-film#/), and production starts in January. He has assembled an amazing cast of indie stalwarts, including scream queen legend Brinke Stevens.
In addition to filmmaking, Jeremy's passions include hockey, wrestling, fitness (he's dropped 100 lbs thanks to eating healthy and DDPY) and of course, polyamory. Jeremy is an advocate for different relationship styles, and practices solo polyamory with his two current amazing partners.
