Creator and star of the original web series and movie on Amazon Prime “Girl/Girl Scene” Tucky Williams stops by to

Join us for a fantastic talk with Tucky Williams. Actor/Director/Writer/Producer, creator and star of Girl/Girl Scene, victorious online troll fighter, gay rights advocate, and probably the nicest, sweetest person you’ll ever meet. We talk filmmaking, the fight against trolls and Amazon, and how the word lesbian is still associated with sexual fantasies and porn, rather than just a descriptor of a person’s sexual preference. We loved this chat with her, and we’re sure you will too. You can watch Girl/Girl Scene the Movie and the series on Amazon Video. Tucky’s Website and Film Resume:www.luckytucky.com About the controversy with trolls:www.girlgirlscene.com/controversy

We start Pride Month talking about this great 80’s homage movie, Girl/Girl Scene, spawned from a successful web series of the same name. Following a group of friends we take a nostalgic run through what made 80’s friend films so great, including a very 80’s VCR look. Because the characters are lesbians this movie took a huge hit from bigoted trolls, but writer/director Tucky Williams did not stand for it. We talk about not just this fun movie but also how bigots got it knocked off of Amazon, and how Tucky fought and won to get it back on. This is an important episode for all filmmakers. You can watch Girl/Girl Scene the Movie and the series on Amazon Video.

This is the end of Joe Biden's campaign. Why are the spiders so big in the garage and Hass reviews a Villager 125th cigar in the Humidor.  Shots out to Tucky Williams on schooling us last week!

Actress and filmmaker Tucky Williams joins Hass and Dutch to discuss her film and the social media and Amazon review conspiracy to destroy it.  The film, Girl/Girl Scene, is available on Amazon Prime for free and due to it's LGBT content was assaulted by right wing anti-gay reviewers, much the same as the Rotten Tomatoes campaign that attempted to sabotage Captain Marvel. NOTE: Please forgive an issue with Hass' mic, there was a continuing "pop" thru the recording that is somewhat annoying, but could not be edited out.  We will address this and correct by next show.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  Tucky also talks about being an actress in horror films, her experiences growing up as a lesbian, her thoughts on politics and she corrects the guys numerous times in terms of social etiquette. Hass recommends a Dean Koontz book and reviews The Brick, by Torano Cigars.  Hass also discusses his first NFL game viewing since 2017 after ending his boycott due to the collusion against Colin Kaepernick.

When the fall season starts to arrive it means several things to me. It mean the days and nights get cooler, Halloween and it is time for Scarefest. Scarefest is held in Lexington, Ky each fall. One of the main reasons I love attending this show so much is because one of my favorite actresses always attends, Tucky Williams. Tucky is from Kentucky and started out as a meteorologist at a local tv station. She then appeared in several locally produced independent films and last year started he web series Girl/Girl Scene. It has become a Scarefest tradition for us to interview her for this website. For two years stright Tuckys interviews have been some of the most listened to interviews I have done. In fact they have been second only to Elvira. This year I have a special treat for fans of Girl/Girl Scene. Not only do I have a new interview with Tucky, but I also have an interview with Katie Stewart, Lauren Virginia Albert and Abisha Uhl who is also the lead singer of the band Sick Of Sarah. I really hope you all enjoy these interviews as much as I did doing them!!!

I interviewed the beautiful Tucky Williams last year at the Scarefest in Lexington Ky. At that time she was just starting her web series Girl/Girl Scene. That interview has became the most populare Monsters From The Basement interview ever. Since then the show has taken off like a rocket and shows no sign of slowing down. The show centers around a group of women and the experiences of their everyday lifes in the gay community. Watching the show, you can tell that this lady puts her all into each and every episode. The interview I did with her last year is my most popular interview to date. I was able to catch up with her at this years Scarefest and I hope her fans love this one as much as they did the first one. She is one increditable lady. Tucky has appeared in several indie horror flicks and was the host of a morning news show in Kentucky as well as being a meteorologist too. Join me as I once again talk with Tucky Williams.

One of the more unusual fellows that you will encounter in the Kentucky indie film community, Eric Butts is a very talented guy who brings a depth of technical and historical knowledge to any project that he delves into. In addition to being a filmmaker, he is also a very capable talent in music, perfectly capable of being a one-man rock band in a studio environment.I had the pleasure of working with Eric when I directed Shadows Light, and I can say that you will find few people as passionate about film and storytelling as Eric. More recently, Eric has dived into the world of CGI, including 3D modeling and animation. In this IMM spotlight, we visited with Eric to find out how things are going, what's on the horizon, and to give readers a little idea about the man himself. -Stephen Zimmer, for Indie Movie Masters Blog Interview, March 10, 2010 SZ: You are a man capable of wearing many hats, in terms of writing, producing, directing, doing CGI, editing, etc. How would you describe yourself these days, in relation to your career?EB: I've started referring to myself as an artist, but I always cringe a little, because it sounds so pretentious. I've also enjoy being called a Renaissance man. Ultimately, I'd like to be known as a director, maybe an editor and musician as well. I love doing all the other stuff I do, because it's fun to want to learn something and then actually do it, but I really only do it because not a lot of other people can in my current budget levels. I've found it to be a lot cheaper to buy a book and spend some time and just do it myself. That just spilled over to my friends, most of whom are film people as well. A lot of them are very talented too and sometimes they have projects I HAVE to be a part of. I just love making stuff!SZ: What first got you into pursuing an independent film career?EB: I was just sort of born wanting to do it. I started playing music at 2 and started writing by 3. I just never wanted to do anything else. Part of it is because I grew up loving movies. My folks let me watch whatever I wanted at a young age. I spent so much time in video stores, that at one point I actually listed a video clerk as an emergency contact for my school. My mom loved horror and my Dad's into Sci-Fi. My first movie ever was "Alien" when I was 6 months old. Everyone in the theater thought "Oh great, here's comes the screaming baby" but I apparently stayed transfixed on the screen the whole time. Plus, my folks have always been very supportive of my creative thinking! Reality can suck! Sometimes I'd rather create and live in my own worlds and film making allows that on a constant basis.SZ: What are some of the things that you like especially about the world of indie film?EB:No release date deadlines, which is great when you can't spend money, cause time is usually the indie film maker's friend! That can also be a problem. I come from the school of thought that art is never released, it escapes! There's always going to be more you can do to make things better and the more time you have with a project the more things you start wanting to fix. Eventually, you have to just let it go and let it be what it's going to be, then maybe, someday, you can pull a Lucas and go back and fix things, something I've never had a problem with people doing by the way. Other than that, I've never seen much difference between indie and Hollywood for me. I'm going to make what I want to make, period. I would like to make a living at it eventually, but I HAVE to make what makes me happy first! Luckily, most of my ideas are for summer blockbuster types of films, which makes it hard for me to write scripts I can afford to do. Now, with my CG, I'm capable of a lot more!SZ: Conversely, what are the biggest negatives about working in indie film, besides the obvious money restraints?EB: Really all the drawbacks stem from lack of funds. Scheduling is next to impossible. If you need more than a couple actors to get together at the same time, you can quickly find your hair turning gray... ask Jerry Williams. Extras are impossible to find in any large number. The talent pool is thin compared to the choices you have when you can pay people. Sometimes getting people to take what you're doing seriously can be difficult, because a lot of times they think it's just going to be something fun to do and don't realize how much work it actually is! SZ:You’ve been delving into the world of 3D modeling and animation lately. How is that going? EB: It has been insanely fun! CG was something I used to think was way out of my abilities, but I've always had ideas that require CG! I made a short 30 minute film when I was 15, so it would have been around 1995, that movie had a bunch of CG morphing in it, some of the shots were even pretty good. Last year I upgraded all my software and had some minor 3D capabilities, which gave me some really cool Ideas for some CG movies. I quickly find I couldn't do too much with what I had. I started looking into videos of CG programs and quickly found Lightwave and out of the three major CG programs, it was the one in my price range, but also seemed easy to use. I decided to get it. I also knew I was limited in my 3D motion tracking and after some research found a great program called SynthEyes. It's one of the industry standards and surprisingly cheap, for what it is. I then found out, my favorite show, "Battlestar Galactica" (Modern) used Lightwave and Syntheyes for 95% of their CG and their CG is incredible! So I was totally sold. Lightwave is amazing. Right out of the box with very little knowledge at all I was able to start making some cool stuff and within a month I had some shots that could have been in Galactica! So I'm very pleased. Don't get me wrong, I love practical effects too, I grew up a Savini fan, but I'm also a George Lucas fan. So I've always loved both and some projects of mine require more CG and some require more Practical and I don't understand why so many people hate CG so much, I've always believed one of the reasons people like movies is to see things they never could in real life.SZ: Rumor has it that you have a "modest" DVD and BluRay collection, and that you are a "bit" of a film historian. So, name a few of your favorite directors, and why are they your favorites?EB: He, he, ha. Yeah, "Modest." I have around 2,000 DVD's and about 600 Blu-rays. Plus, I still have a bunch of laserdiscs and some VHS. My dad has a collection bigger than mine! I LOVE movies. You learn more about filmmaking from watching movies than anywhere else, except on-set experience. You even learn more from bad movies than you do good ones. As for my favorite directors, Lloyd Kaufman I believe to be an underrated genius. Most people just lumps his films in with the rest of the Troma catalouge, but his films are so much more than that! It's kind of like Jerry William's films. On the surface that can be enjoyed as gross out weird comedies, but if you look deeper, you start to realize how well thought out, clever and smart his films are. I'm also a huge fan of George Romero, I love the way he gets very real performances in bizzare situations. He know's how to make the characters matter. I love the visual style of Dario Argento and Peter Jackson. I love the "Lord of the Rings" films, but his earlier work is just as incredible, especially "Heavenly Creatures". Some one who's new to directing, but has been around as a writer for a while is Ron Moore. This guy changed my life and the way I approach writing. I will see ANYTHING he's involved with and know it will be good!SZ: Zeppo was one of the bigger projects that you have been involved with. How was it working with Debbie Rochon and Loyd Kaufman?EB: Well "Zeppo: Sinners from Beyond the Moon!" was an incredible experience. It took us 3 years and a lot of learning, but the whole thing was just one fun experiment. I love the movie and it is pretty much everything Jerry Williams and I wanted it to be, but we knew starting out that part of the fun of the project was going to be in how we tried doing a little bit of eveything, it was my first time compositing shots. A couple of them turned out pretty good, but I learned A LOT about green screen from that shoot. The whole thing was like that, just always trying things and sometimes being succesful and even when we weren't it still worked for the type of film it was meant to be. It was sort of like the idea of film school, it was a safe place to fail. One place we did NOT fail was in casting Lloyd and Debbie! Jerry and I both had grown up being Troma fans, so Lloyd Kaufman is just a god to us, and as I've gotten older and continued to love his films, I've learned how much of a truely underrated genius Lloyd is! And Debbie... Debbie I'd been a fan of for a long time and even though she's appeared in a few films that weren't quite as good as others, she's always been consistently exellent. Lloyd and Debbie both are the kind of people who, before you meet them, you think they're going to be cool, but once you meet them, they're WAY cooler than you could have ever imagined! We still all keep in touch and will be working together soon. Debbie stepped my game up as an actor on Zeppo. Getting to work with her so closely as an actor taught me alot, and ever since then when I act in films I try to bring that level of focus.SZ: How have things gone with Zeppo since completion? Where can people buy/rent/view it right now?EB: Well after screening Zeppo in a few festivals we had tried to get distribution and we kept hearing the same thing... " we love Zeppo, but can't do any foreign sales with black and white movies." So for a moment we made some dvds and started selling it ourself, but that kind of became a pain for us to deal with, so we finally found this thing called Create Space on Amazon. It's a pretty cool deal. We have control over what the product is and all we have to do is collect a bit of money for the discs. This is a great sevice for indie filmmakers, especially one's like me and Jerry who just want to make movies and not deal with all the rest of it! So, with in a month or two, Zeppo will be availbe on VOD and DVD through Amazon. SZ: You have worked quite a bit with rising cult film legend Jerry Williams. Do you consider him to be sane? Secondly, can you give some really good dirt on him? (humor intended in this question!!!!) EB: Jerry Williams is INCREDIBLE!! He has a completly unique vison in his films. On the surface they're these weird random comedies, but if you pay close attention you see there's a definate message and interesting storyline going on. He deserves major cult status, because his films are always hilarious and within seconds, you KNOW it's a Jerry William's movie. He's also a great guy, he's part of my family. Much like Lloyd Kaufman, you can't judge Jerry based on his films alone. He's a down to earth guy who's nice and willing to help everyone as long as they're not being too crazy.Is he sane? Yes, but I belive that's because his films are outlets for his insanity. I'm actually slightly worried about what will happen to him while he's on hiatus to raise his new baby, but luckily he's spent a great deal of time getting footage lately, so he'll have plenty to edit. I have some dirt on Jerry for sure...so here's a little bit. Jerry drives his car very slow! SZ: One of your newest projects is Girl/Girl Scene. What is it? Who’s involved?EB: Girl/Girl Scene is amazing! It's not something I would have expected to be involved with, but it was such a great opportunity, I'd be a fool to say no. It's executive produced by Nic Brown and Written by Tucky Williams. Nic called me up and told me he and Tucky were wanting to make a dramatic lesbian web series. At first I wasn't so sure, but I really enjoy hanging out with Tucky and Nic and I was excited by the idea of getting to focus on Directing. Then I got the pilot script from Tucky and I was sold. I knew she was a talented actress and I've come to realize she is an equally talented writer. The script was really good. In my first reading I found that I cared about the characters and was left wanting to know what happens next, so that was a good sign. Then Tucky started casting all these incredible actors which made my job a whole lot easier. All I ever really had to focus on was how I wanted to tell the story visually, and having that much time to devote to one line of thought led to some really great choices. I've been editing it and have most of a rough cut done and it's great! It really draws you in and engages you, plus it's got some great humor in it. Shooting on HD has really been amazing. I've watched some of the scenes on Blu ray and it's a REAL show. You could put this next to any drama out there and it looks just as good. I've since read the script for episode 2, and oh man... The pilot does a great job of letting you know who these people are and what they're about, but episode 2 is going to hook people! We're about 4 to 6 weeks away from revaling the pilot for free, online at girlgirlscene.comSZ: The trailer has been having some tremendous success recently. Describe how that all unfolded and what kind of response you are seeing.EB: It's been great! At first we posted it on the Girl/Girl Scene FaceBook group page. It was there for 24 hours first and we had great feedback pouring in. Then we posted it on YouTube and DailyMotion. YouTube was getting about 500 views a day in the beginning and DailyMotion wasn't doing much, untill AfterEllen.com posted our trailer on their site. Within six hours the trailer gained over 2,000 views. The real good part is, now, about a week after posting it, we're still seeing really good traffic. Some days are fifty views, some days are two hundred, this leads me to belivie Girl Girl Scene is building some word of mouth. After about 2 weeks we're at around eight thousand views total. I knew this was turning out to be a great project on all parts, but I am a bit surprized how quickly it's getting out there when we've barely even promoted it!SZ: What other projects are on the near horizon for Eric Butts? Can you give us a scoop perhaps?One of the downsides to people finding out I'm as good as I say I am, is that I now get offered all kinds of stuff all the time. Sometimes I have to miss out on things I really want to do because I'm too busy. I mean, people should still ask me, because if I can help I will. Right now I've been directing and doing all of post production on "Girl/Girl Scene", I've been editing a behind the scene documentary for Jacob Ennis' "Red River", I'm helping out with a fun project Billy Boyd is doing as an actor and VFX, I'm acting, composing the score and doing MAJOR VFX on Roni Jonah's "Malfunction" with Billy Boyd and Sven Granlund, plus I may be editing it as well. I've got one more role to film for Jerry Williams before his baby break. I'm trying to write a couple new scripts for myself and finish a new Record I've been putting off for a long time now. I'm also starting advance pre-production on a feature film I want to make this summer, it's a very dark fun monster movie in the tone of "Feast" or "Return of the Living Dead." But I need to work on a beach for a week and that may prove just out of reach of our resources for this year, in which case I'll move to a back up script I have for a much darker Argento inspired Giallo film. I have a bunch of stuff coming out soon too. I acted in Roni Jonah's "Trepan:Redux". I was a HUGE fan and supporter of the original and when I was given the chance to be in a new version of it, I came prepared and gave the best performance I've given yet. I was also in "The Last Temptation of Fluffy" and did a VFX shot for it, as well as creating the poster. There should be countless Jerry Williams films coming out soon that I'm in. "Zombie Hombre" was just released for free online and I played my twin brother. The cool thing was that the footage was shot a few years apart and I look very different in both roles. Also, I'm in "Cornball Classics" that is available on Amazon Video on Demand. Plus, how could I forget the upcoming "Trouser Snake!"SZ: Anything else that you feel inquiring minds want to know about Eric Butts?I'm obsessed with the modern "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica" and you should be too! I LOVE action figures and have a HUGE collection of modern "Star Wars" figures, including hundreds of Clone Troopers. I can't get enough U.K. Wildcats basketball! SZ: If people would like to follow or connect with you or your projects(including beautiful single women), what are your links for sites and social networking? www.zeppothemovie.comwww.girlgirlscene.comMyspace.com/EricButts (I don't uses this site much anymore)And I'm on FaceBook all the time, but there are a few Eric Butts' on there so make sure you get the right one!

Every so often you encounter individuals in the indie film world who are talented, genuinely supportive of indie film and filmmakers, and who are straight-shooters. Nic Brown, mastermind of the popular indie film site B Movie Man, is one of these uncommon individuals.In addition to running the rapidly growing B Movie Man site, which has articles, reviews, interviews, trailers, and much more covering the world of independent film and b-films, Nic is also a very talented author, photographer, martial artist, and has even made a foray into talent representation. Indie Movie Masters is proud to spotlight Nic Brown in all of these areas, from the world of B-Movie Man, to his excellent book Blood Curse, to his work with actress Tucky Williams. We hope that you get a little idea about Nic, a guy who everyone involved in indie films can count as an ally and friend. The good reputation that he enjoys among a great number of individuals within the indie film community is indeed well-earned.-Stephen Zimmer, for Indie Movie Masters, June 17, 2009SZ: First, tell us a little about Nic Brown, your background, main interests, etc.NB: Well I've been into movies for as long as long as I can remember. I got interested in B-Movies back in the 80's when grew up watching COMMANDER USA'S GROOVY MOVIES every Saturday afternoon on the USA Network. I also put myself through college working at a movie theater. I was a projectionist and finally a manager before I quit to go teach English in Japan for three years. While in Japan I was able to pursue my interest in writing and was regularly featured in several English language publications put out over there. That's also where I met my wife, although she's British, not Japanese. She was another English teacher. After we got back to the States I went to work for a Japanese trading company and I'm still there. I love the writing and the B-Movies, but I have to pay the bills too.As for my hobbies and interests, I love traveling, especially to other countries. Reading, I'm always reading a book of some kind. Here's a shocker, I love movies! I also do yoga, kung-fu, I'm an avid skier (not the easiest hobby to have living in Kentucky).SZ: Obviously, you like indie films, B-Films, and that kind of thing. So what are some of your favorite films?NB: That’s a tough question. It depends on my mood. For mainstream films: ALIENS, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, John Woo's HARD BOILED, LE PACTE DE LOUPS (BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF), L.A. STORY, EUROTRIP, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and LEON (THE PROFESSIONAL). From the independent film side: TROMEO & JULIET, TREK, BRAIN DEAD, THE CELLAR DOOR, UNDER THE RAVEN’S WING, DEAD MOON RISING and BONNIE & CLYDE VS. DRACULA. Of course there are more, but those are the ones that come to mind right away.SZ:What are some of the things/qualities that you look for in a good independent film/B-Movie?NB: For a good independent film I’m looking for originality, a good story and believable performances from the cast. Things like special effects and expensive sets are just extras. One more thing that is extremely important for a good independent film, which unfortunately is often overlooked, is the sound. I’m very forgiving of most of things when it comes to independent film, but if I can’t hear the dialogue, whether due to poor sound recording or the soundtrack music playing over it, I can’t enjoy the film.As for a good B-Movie, that’s easy: is it entertaining? If it is, then it’s a good B-Movie.SZ: Tell us about the original idea/concept for B Movie Man, and when was the site launched.NB: In mid-August 2006 I had the opportunity to meet two of my favorite authors, John Ringo and Dr. Travis S. Taylor (Google them if you don't know who they are). It was a small book signing in a mall in Tennessee and since it wasn't very busy we talked a lot. The publisher had a contest to win dinner with them and I lost, but they were nice enough to take me anyway! So I got to really know a couple of authors I admire and after that I felt inspired.I've always enjoyed writing but since my return from Japan, other than email I hadn't had much chance to write. Now I had the urge to finally write a book! I decided that for me, writing a book from a cold start would be like trying to run a marathon without ever training for it. It can be done by some people, but not me. So I started writing movie, book and television show reviews. Not wanting them to just sit on my computer I decided to start a website. I wanted Nicsflicks.com but it wasn't available at the time, so I went with a name that I'd been called by a friend of mine once after we discussed a number of obscure horror films that I like "B Movie Man".SZ: How has it evolved since its inception from your original vision for it?NB: Originally the site was just movie, book and television reviews. Then one day I started getting emails from indie filmmakers wanting me to check out their movies. So I started talking with indie filmmakers and that lead to doing interviews with them. From there I got the idea to start my “Women of Horror” series and that has become the most popular feature on my site.My original vision for the site was that it would be a venue for me to talk about movies I enjoy and to have a chance to improve my writing skills. Now it is still that, but more. I feel like it’s a place where independent filmmakers are not treated like second class citizens to Hollywood. There are a lot of really talented people out there and nothing makes me happier than to give some of them the opportunity to spread the word about their work.SZ: Do you use other contributors for the site? I imagine it is not an easy thing to develop as much content as you have on the site.NB: I have a few people contributing to the site. My wife Fiona, and a few of my friends like Eric Brooks and Crystal Angela write pieces for me as well. Of course there is also the new video series with Tucky, and the folks from Imaginaut Studios have given me an exclusive trailer for their new documentary on filmmaker Jim Wynorski: POPATOPOLIS, but in the end about 90% or more of the site's content is my own. I’m open to more contributions, but it’s not a paying gig so I take what I can get.SZ: Where do you see the site going in the future? Do you have any areas that you want to expand into?NB: I’m not sure where the site will go in the future. I’m very pleased with the way it is right now. I am excited about my new video content and I’ve started work on a new series called “Women of Sci-Fi” as well (coming soon). As far as expanding goes, I may start a feature about some of the music I like. I’m a big fan of some of the lesser known artists like The Cruxshadows or the late Warren Zevon so if I could do something there it might be fun!SZ: How many events do you attend? I’ve noticed you have been a panelist and an attendee at several conventions.NB: So far this year I’ve been to six events, three of them as a guest, and three just for fun. I have another three lined up for later this year: The Fright Night Film Festival, The Scarefest 2009 and the 3rd Annual B Movie Celebration. I’m a guest at Fright Night, I’m helping the organizers of Scarefest and I’ll be covering the B Movie Celebration for my site. I will probably go to a few more events just for fun, we’ll see.SZ: How is the feedback to the site? Do you get a lot of response to your reviews, articles, and interviews?NB: I get some very good feedback through email and when I’m at shows and such. My site isn’t set up like a blog, so there isn’t a feature for comments to be posted directly to the articles. I’m sure I’m missing out on some feedback because of that, but at the same time I don’t consider my site a “blog” so I like it the way it is.I also think the real feedback comes from the fact that a number of other websites carry my work. Roguecinema.com, Pretty-scary.net, Benevolentstreet.com and BMovieNation.com all carry some of my interviews and features. Plus, Vince Rotolo from BMovieCast.com invited me to be the regular guest host on his weekly B Movie Podcast. I’ve been doing that for over a year and half now and it’s a whole lot of fun.SZ: You do a lot of work with the very talented actress/model Tucky Williams, who has appeared in many independent films in significant roles. Tell us about your work with her, her website, and the joint appearances that you make together at conventions?NB: Tucky is a great lady and a good friend. I actually met her when I featured her in my “Women of Horror” series. I saw her film DEAD MOON RISING and contacted her about the feature. Since she lives in my home town we decided to do the interview at Café Jo Beth so my wife and I met her for dinner and then I did the interview. A couple of months later I was getting ready to do my first convention, the 2008 Scarefest, not as “B Movie Man” there to cover the event, but as Nic Brown, Author of “Blood Curse” and trying to sell a few books. I had an idea that I thought might be beneficial to me and Tucky. Since I had extra space at my booth, I invited Tucky to come share the booth with me. I even got the event organizers to promote her as a guest and the next thing you know, I had a line of people in front of booth and to date it has been my most successful show for sales. It was also Tucky’s first show and she found she really enjoyed getting to meet people and the whole convention atmosphere. So we decided to work together to promote her career as an actress and mine as an author. Tucky was also looking for someone to build her a website and I took a stab at it. I’m not the greatest webmaster out there, but I’m not bad either. Plus, I know what to avoid in a website like “Hey let’s do black text on a dark purple background”. That may not sound like a serious problem, but you’d be amazed at how many sites are almost impossible to read just because of their color scheme.In addition to handling Tucky’s website, I’m also working as her agent. I’m the first to admit that I’m not a professional agent, but Tucky wanted someone she could trust to help her with that aspect of her career. So I try my best. By the way, if any filmmakers are reading this check out http://www.tuckywilliams.com/ for a full resume, demo reel and photos!At the end of the day Tucky has become a really good friend to both me and my wife and that is what’s really important.SZ: Speaking of Tucky, I noticed that you have a new video interview series with Tucky on the B Movie Man site. Tell us a little about it.NB: We’re both really excited about this feature of the site. The series is called “Getting Lucky With Tucky” and in it Tucky interviews filmmakers, actors, and folks in the entertainment industry. Tucky has worked in television news and has a really great interviewing style. We’ve only done a couple of interviews so far, but we have plans to do a lot more, especially at some of the up coming conventions. Having new, original video content for my site is fantastic and Tucky loves doing the interviews so it’s a winner for both of us. The hardest part for me has been learning to edit video. We try to break the features down into five minute segments, plus I have to cut out all the parts where I start laughing at something funny she says.(SZ: here's one of the Getting Lucky With Tucky segments that are carried at the B Movie Man Site:SZ: Not everyone may know that you are an author. Tell us about Blood Curse: Werewolf For Hire Book One.NB: “Blood Curse” is my first novel. It’s an adventure/fantasy/mystery about a werewolf detective named Michael Warren. Michael’s world is one where the supernatural exists just outside of the public eye and he makes a living working with his partners Tabitha and her husband Sam who he describes by saying “She’s a witch and he’s my I.T. guy.” The first novel finds Michael traveling to Kentucky to investigate a disappearance that is related to a local horse farm owned by a wealthy sheik with a mysterious past.I like to think of “Blood Curse” as a B- Movie book. It’s got action, magic, werewolves, witches, and enough sex to keep it interesting. I wrote it because it is the kind of book I’d like to read. Also I was tired of all the moody vampires! Everywhere you look there’s another bloody vampire novel!SZ: I know you have studied martial arts. Did your martial arts background help lot with the plot development, characters, and fight scenes in Blood Curse?NB: Definitely. I spent ten years studying Shaolin Kung Fu and that has had a profound influence on most aspects of my life. With regards to my writing it has helped me have discipline. Writing a novel is not something most people do overnight, it takes hard work and dedication and those are traits that seriously studying the martial arts will help you develop. My study of Shaolin also helped me write the fight scenes. Knowing how to fight, what happens to someone if you twist their arm one way or kick them in another; that makes writing the fights both more realistic and more fun.SZ: When is the next book in the series coming out? And where can people order/buy the current one? (list all editions it is available in as well)NB: I’m still working on the second book in the series, but it’s almost finished! It will be called “Blood Sacrifice” and this time Michael must travel to England to find Tabitha’s niece. The first chapter of “Blood Sacrifice” is available for free download at http://www.werewolfforhire.com/, that’s my official site for the series. I hope to finish it this summer so it may be available this fall.You can also order copies of “Blood Curse” through that site. It’s available in paperback and hard cover editions or you can download the e-book as well. The paperback and hardcover editions are also available through Amazon.com and all the other online book retailers.SZ: Are there other ways to connect with B-Movie Man, such as social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook? If so, let us know!NB: I'm on myspace: www.myspace.com/nicholsbrown, Twitter: Bmovieman, look me up, I tweet about once a month! Facebook: look up Nic Brown you should find me. You can also reach me through The B Movie Cast: http://www.bmoviecast.com/, by the way, stop by podcastalley.com and vote for the B Movie Cast, we're #2 in entertainment and I'd love to see that go to #1!SZ: Is there anything else that you would like the indie film community to know about B Movie Man?NB: I’m always happy to check out new indie films so if you’ve got one you want me to look at, drop me a line! Now as Commander USA way say: "Until next time amigos, keep your nose in the wind, and your tail to yourself!"
