We used the Features page for interviews with independent filmmakers and a production diary about a low-budget horror film. The page lists titles and short descriptions.

An interview with Mats Evenson

Mats Evenson discussed the Swedish film industry, acting, what he looked for in a director, and the problem of playing “the prince of darkness.”

An interview with John Fries

John Fries discussed urban legends, making films without a budget, and Blue Myst Road, a short film shot over one year in Pittsburgh.

Adventures in cannibalism

A member of Left South Productions described making Cannibal in a seventy-acre wooded area in High Ridge, Missouri. The summary ends with the film sitting unfinished on a computer two years later.

An interview with Wolfgang Lehmkuhl

The earlier interview covered the production of Cannibal and the technical and creative problems involved in finishing a first film.

We also invited visitors to write for the site. The full articles are unavailable.
