PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Daniel DelPurgatorio (MARSHMALLOW, TALES FROM THE BLACK FREIGHTER) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his debut feature film. From how stealing one of his Dad’s VHS tapes informed his love for genre cinema… to a chance meeting at Warner Brothers that led to co-directing the WATCHMEN animated film TALES FROM THE BLACK FREIGHTER… to how his experience in animation and visual effects informed his craft in creating a wholly unique horror film like MARSHMALLOW… to the trials of shooting a low budget horror film at night with a cast that was mostly made up of kids (quick answer: NOT EASY!)… to how he built chemistry amongst his young cast… to how they came up with the grassroots marketing campaign used to great effect at festivals… to winning “Best Film” and “Best Director” at Panic Fest 2025 and more!
