Ep 567: Michael Mohan The Movie Crypt

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Michael Mohan (IMMACULATE, THE VOYEURS, EVERYTHING SUCKS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey and the making of his hit new horror film IMMACULATE (in theaters now). From seeing BACK TO THE FUTURE as a child and how the film set him on his journey of becoming a filmmaker… to going to Chapman for film studies and the indie films that made the impossible dream of becoming a filmmaker seem possible for him… to shooting and editing short films and scenes for actor friends in need of “tape” for their reels… to his trials and tribulations working on various film and television projects on his way to his first feature… to what it’s been like working with actress Sydney Sweeney on multiple projects… to how he convinced the IMMACULATE producers to hire him with an extensive pitch deck… to some completely coincidental similarities that IMMACULATE shares with a certain other “neo-Nunsploitation” horror film that’s currently in theaters… to his great advice on not relying only on sustainable gigs… and how he created IMMACULATE’s incredible final shot… Mohan is certainly having an amazing moment and deservedly so!
Also… Adam gets Sea Monkeys again after a traumatic first experience with them as a child, the group shares the first CD’s they ever bought, Joe and Michael explain their philosophy on using Letterboxd, and Adam reveals his biggest personal issue with the theatrical poster for his 2010 film FROZEN in this terrifically candid conversation between three filmmakers.
Meet Adam Green, Kane Hodder, and Felissa Rose from the HATCHET franchise next weekend (April 19th - 21st) at New Jersey Horror Con in Edison, NJ! For more upcoming 2024 appearances visit www.ariescope.com
