DZ-74: Midsommar & Folk Horror Draft Zero: a screenwriting podcast

    • TV & Film

What can we learn from folk horror?
Draft Zero return with their next YouTube livestream! Stu and Chas are joined by previous guest (and successful screenwriter) C.S. McMullen for a deep dive into MIDSOMMAR! We analyse the film through the lens of Folk Horror, but tackle broader topics such as horror vs dread, rising tension, transgressions, unfilmables, and portraying toxic relationships.
You can also watch the recorded live stream on YouTube.
