Movie Scum (sans Puck sadly) was fortunate enough to speak with Jason Toler, writer/director of Half Moon, which arrives on DVD March 1st. We talk about his film, upcoming projects, horror films in general and some other topics.  All I can say is, crackhead zombies. Enjoy!

*Well, not really.

In lieu of a video, we bring you another podcast! This time, PBF, Digger, and I react to the winners of the Golden Globes and the presumptuous nominees for the Oscars. And PBF gets very defensive about liking Mark Wahlberg. We discuss what we’ve seen, dump on what we haven’t, and generally drift off topic.

Mentions: The Social Network, The Fighter, Inception, Black Swan, King’s Speech, Toy Story 3

Movie Scum was very fortunate to get to talk with writer/director Wyatt Weed and producer Gayle Gallagher from Shadowland!

It was a great interview and we discuss their film, making movies, distribution, and several other topics. They were quite nice, despite us having disparaged the use of a Mini Cooper in the movie. They provide great insight into the making of their film, as well as the process in general, and it is not very often (for us) that one gets to speak to the people who made a film that they have just reviewed.

We hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did.

Shadowland is the feature film debut of writer/director Wyatt Weed. It will be released to DVD on November 30th, 2010. It’s the story of Laura (Caitlin McIntosh), a vampire that was buried in 1897, and is awoken in the present day. She struggles to find out who and where she is. A vampire hunter, Julian (Jason Contini) begins to track her and as he does, we learn more of who Laura was, and about a man named Lazarus (Carlos Antonio León) who kept an important secret from her that would change her life forever.

Shadowland has won several awards, including Best Feature Film at Fright Night Film Festival 2010, Best Director at Yellow Fever International Film Festival and Best Actress (Caitlin McIntosh) at both Freakshow Horror Film Festival and St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase.

We decided to make this review a group project, and all three of us watched the film, then shared our thoughts in podcast form.

Ultimately, we felt that it was a valiant first effort by Weed, and there were a lot of positives. We did, however question some of the choices made, and even some of the story in general. Please enjoy our first podcast review and check out the Shadowland website for more information about the film.
