Ep 535: Stewart Thorndike

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Stewart Thorndike (BAD THINGS, LYLE) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss the making of her new feature BAD THINGS (available on Shudder). From discovering her passion for the cinematic arts while traveling the country as a child… to the David Cronenberg film that changed the way she saw genre movies… to performing in front of the camera in the late Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT… to the trials and tribulations of writing and bringing her new film BAD THINGS to life… to directing the indie ensemble in an abandoned hotel in snowy Ithaca, NY… to how her production survived the craziest and most frustrating COVID-19 setback that we've heard about filming during the pandemic yet… to BAD THINGS' world premiere at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival (where Joe's new film SUITABLE FLESH also premiered this year) and the process that it took to finally be able to think of herself as an "artist"… Stewart's journey over the last 3 years has been a tumultuous one that many will be able to relate to and draw inspiration from! Also, the group reflects on the stress of film festival premieres, Joe's kitchen sink vomits up a demon, and the boys prepare for their appearance together at Silver Scream Con in Danvers, MA this coming weekend (9/8 - 9/10)!
