In this episode, I am joined by filmmaker Shannon E. Brown, here to discuss her latest short film Overnights - inspired by her real life experience in the veterinary industry, and the burnout that it caused.

Shannon combined her background in the veterinary world, improv comedy, and horror sensibilities to create a deeply personal, uniquely stylized short film. Throughout the interview, we discuss:
  • The parallels between comedy and horror genres in filmmaking
  • Producing the film in two days in a borrowed dental office
  • Working with Little Shop of Gore for practical effects
  • Writing from real experiences in the veterinary industry
  • Strategic approaches to film festival submissions
  • Experiences at notable genre festivals like Panic Fest
  • Working with comedy performers in dramatic roles
  • Much more!
