Johnny Daggers Interview
Daggervision Beginnings
- Brian and Johnny go way back as they were partners in Daggervision Films during the early days.
- The Cinema Psychos Show is what it is due to Daggervision Films Horror Talk Radio.
Blood on the Reel
- The documentary shows what indie horror filmmakers have to go through to be successful.
- Without technology the documentary wouldn’t exist. Johnny directed interviews with filmmakers all over the world through skype.
- The film is successful in making the audience empathize with the struggles and successes that indie filmmakers have to go through.
Follow your blood
- Your passion will drive you to what you should do. Johnny brought up a good point how after soul searching he found that filmmaking was in his blood.
Noctambulist
- New film similar to 1920’s German expressionist films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu.
Too much product- Not enough eyeballs
- Even with services like Amazon Video Direct, Vimeo, etc. it is still hard for indie filmmakers to get the distribution necessary to be successful.
- Technology has made it easier to make a high quality film- iphones can shoot in 2k now. But that is creating an influx of too many films.
Cats like to screw with podcast interviews
- Another cat incident happened during the podcast recording. This time it was Johnny’s cat that decided to jump outside in the middle of the interview. Gotta love the kitties.
