Welcome back to the Independent Filmmaker's Guide.
Today hosts Steven Pierce and Matt Mundy are joined by friend and special guest and Horror Genre aficionado, Mike Gingold. He's a journalist, screenwriter, author, director, not to mention one of the most well-respected voices in the horror community today, who just may have seen every horror movie ever made.
A graduate of NYU film school, and former editor in chief of Fangoria, Gingold today writes for both Fangoria and Rue Morgue, where he started back in 1988 and 1997 respectively.
We talk about exciting new films that are debuting this year, many at Tribeca, back when this episode was recorded. And we dive deep into the development of the modern horror genre and how VHS, theatrical release, and streaming have all had direct effects on the business and creativity itself. And we even explore a few of Gingold's books that look back on all the old newspaper clippings - documenting all these effects and changes. AD Nauseam, and AD Nauseam II display just how vast his love and knowledge of all things horror truly is.
And of course we all want to know, what is the state of Horror films these days, is it headed in a good direction, and who are some of the filmmakers and artists right now who are leading the way?
