If we only rely on the people who are being disenfranchised to solve that disenfranchisement, then it will never change. In today’s episode we speak with Director and Filmmaker Jen McGowan whose recent feminist horror, Rustcreek was lauded by Harper’s Bazaar as being “Exactly What Hollywood Needs Right Now”. Jen is the founder of Glass Elevator, an international skill-sharing, networking, and jobs resource for professional women in film and television. The organization has over 4000 members and has been featured in Forbes as well as named Best in LA by LA weekly. In our conversation, Jen shares how she originally trained as an actor because she was good at it and enjoyed it, but realized that she didn’t find the working life of an actor fulfilling and decided to pursue directing in order to have a more active career. She worked her way up by starting out in production roles that are generally more open to women. Jen reflects on how it was only once she actively started pursuing directing that she realized she had never worked with a female cinematographer, sound engineer, or first assistant director in her working life. Later we discuss Glass Elevator and how it has helped women connect, and we hear some of the success stories of women who have found work through the platform. We also speak about the #MeToo movement and why disenfranchised people alone can’t solve disenfranchisement, the dominant culture needs to get onboard. For all this and much more, join us today!

Hi everyone! Against my better judgment, we’re welcoming back Shane Hyde to the podcast for another horror movie review, this time hopefully one he enjoys a bit more. After last week’s review for “Nightmare Cinema”, I’m sort of surprised he came back for more. For a few other reviews from Shane, check out “Nightmare Cinema” (Episode #647), “Starship Troopers” (Episode #447), and his incredible narration duties as part of Reign of Terror 2019. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our good friends at the Moviedrone podcast. Every episode, Marc and Steve sit down to discuss films, including a main feature, some homework for each other, a question from the audience, and my favorite segment, Marc’s Movie Impressions. Don’t miss their guest review here for Reign of Terror 2019, covering the indie darling, “Terrifier” (Episode #606). They weren’t much help, though, to be honest. At least not for me.

Connect with us over social media to continue the conversation. Here we go! ///// > ///// Kia ora! I’m Shane Hyde. I’m a Kiwi living in Australia. Everything’s on fire here so I’m staying inside, reviewing movies, and to Joe’s annoyance, frequently missing deadlines. Today I’m here to review 2019’s RUST CREEK. Let’s go! Today’s movie is RUST CREEK, a thriller directed by Jen McGowan, written for the screen by Julie Lipson from a story by Stu Pollard. RUST CREEK is a thriller, cut from the grim cloth of Kentucky. In a similar style to WRONG TURN, Sawyer, outstandingly played by Hermione Corfield, finds herself face to face with the worst that Rust Creek has to offer. Stand by, because I ain't spoilin' shit. Lost and seeking directions, Sawyer encounters O'Doyle and Buck, two of the locals who you GOTTA know are already up to no good. This encounter sours quickly, and before you know it, Sawyer is quite literally cutting and running for her life into the woods. And let's have a word about those woods. Set in the forests of Kentucky, RUST CREEK imparts a grimy peacefulness, in concert with the soullessness of the hillbillies living there. The environment leaves you with a sense of hollow claustrophobia, even distant dread. Michelle Lawler's cinematography makes the most of this and marks her as someone to watch in the future. I like this film. Finally we get Sawyer, a strong female protagonist making what are really the right decisions. While technically she's the “Last Girl”, not once does she loses her agency, her curiosity, or her intellect. Sawyer is a stronger female lead than you might expect in a film like this. The other standout is Lowell, played with bright-eyed intelligence by Jay Paulson. The mysterious and intelligent hillbilly who lacks in book learning more than makes up for it with keen insight and perception of a situation. As a character, he supports Sawyer's strength with a quiet watchfulness. Production in this film is as tight as the budget must have been, which means the work falls to the shoulders of the actors who each deliver a strong performance. Pacing suffers a little near the middle, but interest is maintained as characters interact. And as they interact, the twists and turns of the plot are revealed, and there’s something quite satisfying with the way that RUST CREEK plays out. Lowell tells the story of how Rust Creek got its name. At the end the waters run red once again. RUST CREEK is an edge of your seat thriller with a strong, capable female lead. Not a horror, but bloody nonetheless.Take a trip to Kentucky and explore Rust Creek with Sawyer. Worth it for her character alone. Rotten Tomatoes: 84% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 59 One Movie Punch: 7.5/10 RUST CREEK (2018) is rated R and is available on most USA streaming services, and SMOKE ME A DINGO! It isn’t yet available here in Australia!

This week, the Grue-Crew present two films from IFC Midnight. We start off the New Year with a tale of Hazing Horror and a yarn about a college girl out of her element. The first film this week is PLEDGE from directors Daniel Robbins, featuring a trio of college nerds looking to join a fraternity only to choose the worse option possible. The second film is RUST CREEK from director Jen McGowan, featuring a college girl lost in the Kentucky wilderness running from drug dealers with only a meth cook to aid her escape.  Doc Rotten and Vanessa Thompson from Horror News Radio along with Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era share their thoughts about this week's awesome collection of streaming horror films. Gruesome Magazine Podcast - Episode 049 PLEDGE - RUST CREEK Pledge A group of college freshmen pledge an exclusive fraternity but soon realize there's more at stake than they could have ever imagined. "Once you get into the meat of it - the hazing - and the things that take place after that, that’s where the tension really ramps up and the characters really stretch their legs, especially our three potential club members. We see some really strong acting from (Zack Weiner, Phillip Andre Botello, and Zachery Byrd) and some really strong character development." - Vanessa "It’s really well made; it looked really good and I didn’t see a weak spot in the acting anywhere. … It’s a well-told story." - Jeff "I really liked this film. I had a good time with it. … The environment that they find themselves in is presented in such a seductive way that they are all in until they realize that they shouldn’t be and it’s too late." - Doc Director: Daniel Robbins Cast: Zachery Byrd, Phillip Andre Botello, Aaron Dalla Villa Release: OPENING IN THEATERS AND VOD ON JANUARY 11TH from IFC MIDNIGHT Rust Creek An overachieving college student gets lost on her way to a job interview. A wrong turn leaves her stranded deep in the Kentucky forest. The woman must defend herself against the harsh elements and a band of ruthless outlaws. She is forced into an uneasy alliance with a strange loner who has unknown intentions. "I loved the Sawyer character because … (she) really shows her character and personality in small moments, in quiet moments. You see her strength and her perseverance and her willingness to do whatever it takes to survive and not give up." - Vanessa "Micah Hauptman as Hollister just oozed sleaziness and immorality. He was the stereotypical backwoods, bad guy and he did it so well." - Jeff "The director did a great job! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing whatever Jen McGowan (will put) out next because I think she has quite the eye and the knack for telling a story." - Doc Director: Jen McGowan Cast: Hermione Corfield, Micah Hauptman, Sean O'Bryan.

BEHIND THE LENS kicks off its fifth year with a jam-packed show and special guest, director JEN McGOWAN. First up we're talking about THE UPSIDE. An update and fresh English-language version from director Neil Burger of the acclaimed, internationally popular, "The Intouchables." Starring Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman, THE UPSIDE is one of the first "must see" films of the year. And one of the things that makes this a "must see" is KEVIN HART's performance. Not what we're accustomed to from Hart, in THE UPSIDE he finds a perfect balance with a light comedic touch and a sobering dramatic arc that is revelatory. Listen as Hart talks about this performance and stretching his acting chops from within. And then we go to the birds with BIRD BOX. Take a listen to excerpts of our exclusive interview with screenwriter ERIC HEISSERER as he talks about developing Sandra Bullock's character of Malorie as well as the depth of development for the supporting characters. Plus, Eric talks about his unique visual screenwriting approach with this film and the "rules" he established for this story. Very exciting is our special guest who joins us live at the mid-point of the show – director JEN McGOWAN. The last time we spoke with Jen was several years ago for her freshman feature, the charming and engaging "Kelly & Cal." Jen is now back with her sophomore feature film – RUST CREEK, a thriller with a twist and opening in theatres February 11th. Shot on location during the winter in the Kentucky woods, listen as Jen talks about some of the logistical challenges presented by the location and the weather, the process of casting and the ultimate chemistry between her two leads, and the importance of gender parity on film crews. In fact, the RUST CREEK crew boasts more than one-half of the department heads as female! Plus, find out about FILM POWERED, a networking group for women in the entertainment and film industry which was founded by Jen in 2015. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Is the EEOC's investigation into Hollywood's hiring practices of women valid? Are women really not treated equitably in Hollywood. According to Scott Baio, the answer is a resounding "No!"From teen heart-throb to conservative political activist, Scott Baio has some provocative political ideologies that is fair to say isn't the common mindset in what has traditionally been a very liberally-minded, Democrat-populated town. From speaking at the Republic National Convention to appearing on the conservative Fox News program The Five to decry the government's investigation into hiring practices, Mr. Baio is unafraid and unashamed to make his thoughts and politics known. Good for him! I mean that. I totally disagree with his opinion on the matter, but I do commend his fortitude to speak up for what he believes in a town where he has to know it will be met with criticism.Well, it was the appearance on the aforementioned Fox News program that prompted today's episode of our miniseries "Breaking the Glass." I had miniseries co-producer and recurring guest on the show, Yolanda Cochran, listen to the entire segment. We then hopped on Skype to have a conversation about it. She gives some valuable insight into the business from the perspective of a person who has worked in the business for over 20 years (more than half of that time in some kind of producing role).In the last part of the show today, guest podcast producer Stefanie Malone (Emmy award-winning documentary producer and Executive Director of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth) arranges a conversation with director Jen McGowan. Jen's first feature film, "Kelly and Cal", starred Juliet Lewis and won the Gamechanger Director Award at the 2014 SXSW Film Festival. Jen is also the creator of Filmpowered.com, a site for connecting with and hiring female filmmakers. Jen gives a look at the situation from the point of view of a person currently in the system trying to get the next job, just like every other hard-working director, man or woman. Her thoughts about why we should have diversity in hiring practices are inspiring.About the Mini-seriesBreaking the Glass is a Radio Film School podcast mini-series and short film docu-series addressing the issues of gender inequality in film and television.
