    Episode 4: Toby Poser & John Adams

    In this episode of the Scream To Screen horror podcast, Chris and Lucy are joined by Toby Poser and John Adams! Toby and John partners both in life and in filmmaking, who alongside their daughters Zelda and Lulu make up the Adams family (no, not that Adams family). Following careers that spanned acting, modelling, music, and even reality TV, in their 40s with two young children, Toby and John decided to shoot their first film, Rumblestrips, which won Best No Budget Feature Film Award at the Berlin Independent Film Festival. That was in 2013, and in the 13 years since (unlucky for some – but definitely not for them!) The Adams Family have continued to prove that they are masters in independent filmmaking. It was their fifth film, The Hatred, a Civil War set ghost story starring their daughter Zelda, which was their first horror feature, and since then they haven’t looked back. Under their production company Wonder Wheel Productions, their subsequent horror features: The Deeper You Dig, Hellbender, Where the Devil Roams, Hell Hole, and Mother of Flies have featured at incredible festivals including FrightFest, Fantastic Fest, Fantasia, and released on platforms like Shudder.  Alongside their impressive film roster, Toby and John are also incredibly generous artists: attending festivals, talking to fellow indie filmmakers, encouraging others to follow their path. We really hope you enjoy our chat with Tony and John! And if you do, we'd be supremely grateful if you could give us a 5 star rating and/or leave a comment wherever you get your podcasts, to help us on our merry way. Scream To Screen is hosted by Lucy Foster and Chris Nials. It's edited by Elsie Watkinson, our music is composed by Andrew Clegg, and it's produced and distributed by The Independent Horror Society.

    Episode 3: Axelle Carolyn

    In this episode of the Scream To Screen horror filmmaking podcast, Lucy and Chris are joined by Axelle Carolyn, who has an incredible CV as actor, horror journalist, writer, producer, and director! As a film writer, she contributed to platforms like Fangoria and IGN, and has even published her own horror books such as It Lives Again! Horror Movies in the New Millennium. Now, she is best known for her work behind the camera. Her feature debut as writer and director was with the horror movie Soulmate in 2013. Since then, Axelle’s career has thrived in both film and TV. She’s written for shows like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and directed on multiple TV shows including Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Midnight Club, as well as horror series Them and American Horror Story. If you’re listening to this episode on release date, then today, March 26th, a new horror TV series that Axelle directed on, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, has just been released on Netflix. This has been exec produced by the Duffer Brothers, right off the back of their massive success with Stranger Things. We really hope you enjoy our chat with Axelle!
