    Afraid of The Blair Witch Project with Michael C. Williams

    It's been nearly 30 years since The Blair Witch Project (1999) terrorized film audiences with the inaugural "found footage" film.  The film's logline: Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind. The Blair Witch Project was heavily marketed as a true story, employing a unique viral marketing campaign to blur the lines between fiction and reality. This strategy included a fake documentary on the Sci-Fi channel, fake missing person flyers, a website with fabricated evidence, and fake police reports.  Fortunately, no actors were murdered or maimed in the making of the film. One of the "survivors" joins us on this episode -- actor Michael C. Williams. Also joining us is fellow thespian, filmmaker, nature wanderlust and sometimes co-host, Cuyle Carvin. Like what you hear?
