Justin's dad would sneak horror movies home for him to watch on his sick days and it sparked the dream. He started making movies at home, remaking horror film scenes complete with physical effects. He talks about meeting his former writing partner, Kevin Hutchison, who was an FX artist, they met as roommates and began collaborating on projects. But after 10 years, how was gone. Now, Justin has a new writing partner, Serena Whitney. And though he's made horror and thrillers, he has made three documentaries (and a fourth in production), Working Class Rockstar, Skullworld and Clapboard Jungle which are excellent. I highly recommend, Clapboard Jungle is a must see for fledgling filmmakers. And get the Arrow Blu Ray if you like commentary, there's 26 hours worth, on it. He explains his reasoning for making the documentaries and his format that he uses. Justin also explains that the business is completely different now after the pandemic. He talks his Arrow deal and it shows why it's important to go to festivals and to submit your films to festivals. And how the right distribution can get your projects in front of the right eyes for future projects. Justin also explains how he filmed Broken Mile on a one day budget. And I wondered if he ever just wants to quit but he explains filmmaking is his calling. It's tough but it's all he wants to do. Even his work that pays the bills is still in the film industry for other entities. And in between, he works on his own stuff. And stay for valuable advice for new filmmakers and screenwriters plus his argument in support of shorts and the shorter, the better. And why Justin says they are so important. He also gives important notes for contracts so you still have some control over your work. Justin's other features are Lifechanger and Broken Mile and check out other works, anthologies he was involved in like Blood, Sweat & Terrors, Minutes Past Midnight and Galaxy of Horrors, you can find them all on Tubi.

Screenwriter Stuart Wright looks back with producer and director Avi Federgreen over the impact of COVID19 and how despite the global pandemic he made his directorial debut after producing 60+ films and distributing 100+ films to date. The podcast is a mine of filmmaker advice from a filmmaker who speaks from real experience and understanding. Making Films That Sell [Blog] https://avifedergreen.com/making-films-that-can-sell/ FAMILY SEDUCTIONS https://www.marvista.net/catalog_items/1467 Avi is the Producer of FOR THE SAKE OF THE VICIOUS. When it premiered at Frightfest Britflicks concluded: "[FTSOV] dazzles with intensity. It never takes its proverbial foot off the audience’s throat. The rights and wrongs of it all are thrown out the window, as getting to a truth, and meting out rough justice for the rape of Chris’s daughter simply means one more death by the end of the film. The lasting surprise is how anyone survived to tell the tale." Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8kj7PR1X9c FOR THE SAKE OF THE VICIOUS.

On the show, today is an indie film director, and CEO of Unstable Ground multi-media company, Justin McConnell.  Even though he’s known for his work in post-production, Justin has also directed and written projects like Clapboard Jungle, Skull World, Lifechangers, and Galaxy of Horrors across the sci-fi-horror and documentary genres.Justin is a man who wears many hats; his multi-media company, Unstable Ground, which he has been running successfully for the last 22 years specializes non-exclusively in film and television production. The main reason I wanted him to come on the show was to discuss his new documentary called Clapboard Jungle, which explores the painful and brutal journey of a filmmaker trying and the movie-making process. I absolutely loved the documentary. It’s in a great tradition of films about making movies sort of a love letter to independent filmmakers.Clapboard Jungle, directed by Justin in 2020, is a documentary that follows five years in the life and career of an independent filmmaker, supported by dozens of interviews, posing one question: how does an indie filmmaker survive in the current film business.Clapboard Jungle was birthed from his lacking for such resource at the start of his career in the industry and launched onto developing the project/thought after directing and writing his 2013 documentary, Skull World, which follows two years in the life of Greg Sommer, aka Skull Man, as he builds the Canadian chapter of Box Wars, an international underground movement of cardboard-based combat.Talking about horror, he wrote and directed a fantastic yet disturbing horror feature film, Lifechanger in 2018 that is about a homicidal shapeshifter who is obsessed with reconnecting with the woman he once loved. To cheat death, he leaps from one body to the next, stealing the form of his murdered victims. And with each new identity, he circles closer and closer to her, looking to wind his way back into her life and her arms, no matter the cost.Clapboard Jungle is a MUST WATCH FILM for all filmmakers. It shows you the raw truth behind the dream of being a filmmaker.Enjoy my eye-opening conversation with Justin McConnell.

Episode 49 sees Andy and Mitch joined by the director of the absolutely excellent Frightfest 2018/Celluloid Screams 2018 (and MANY more) selection, Lifechanger... it's Justin McConnell! His chosen film? Ice Cream Man! Wow. This one is pretty special. Featuring an absolutely bonkers cast with names like Olivia Hussey, David Naughton, Jan Michael Vincent, Sandahl Bergman and David Warner, Ice Cream Man is anchored by a truly interesting and oddly layered performance from Clint Howard. A quintessential video shop delight, Ice Cream Man is a forgotten oddity that is just longing to be seen... But does that make it good?  The synopsis is as follows:  Gregory, the local ice cream man, just wants people to be nice to him and to sell the neighborhood children his ice cream treats. Unfortunately, the adults disrespect him, and the kids fear him, so, as any recently released mental patient would do, Gregory begins brutally murdering anyone who prevents him from having a happy, happy, happy day...

Pop Art Painter Jamie Roxx (www.JamieRoxx.us) welcomes Filmmaker Justin McConnell (LIFECHANGER 2018 / Writer/Director / Horror / Thriller) to the Show!  www.lifechangermovie.comwww.facebook.com/lifechangermovie Written and directed by Justin McConnell, LIFECHANGER tells of a murderous shape-shifter that sets out on a blood-soaked mission to make things right with the woman he loves. Drew has an identity problem. Every few days, has to shape-shift, or face a painful death. He has to find someone and make a copy. He takes everything: their looks, memories, hopes, and dreams. Their entire life. He becomes them, and they die horribly. Enter Julia, the object of Drew’s affection. How can he make things right when he’s never the same person for very long? How do you gain back trust when who you are keeps changing? Part psychological thriller, part body horror, Lifechanger follows one shape-shifters’ twisted quest to repair the damage he’s caused, while leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.

Lifechanger is a sneakier, more fascinating thriller than it might seem at first glance - the tale of a man doomed to feed off and inhabit the bodies of those he encounters to survive. His psychology twisted up in the memories of those he impersonates, and his lingering obsession with an old flame (Lora Burke), the protagonist of Lifechanger turns the film into a fascinating reversal of genre conventions.  For our latest On Tap mini-podcast, we sat down with Justin McConnell, the writer/director of the shape-shifting horror film Lifechanger, to talk about how the project got started, the subtextual appeal of living in a different skin, and the excitement of his impending sold-out world premiere at Fantasia 2018. Enjoy, along with the rest of our Fantasia coverage! (Thanks to our sponsor Overcast as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

Justin McConnell joins Jeremy to watch THE ROCKETEER and take a deep dive into their childhoods - and as a bonus - Justin gives out a great fake blood recipe!
