Mother of Flies: How The Adams Family Makes Horror Movies Together

The Adams family is a unique independent filmmaking collective based in the Catskill Mountains that manages every aspect of their horror movie productions, from acting and directing to musical scoring. Their latest project, "Mother of Flies," represents their most ambitious work to date and recently earned top honors at the Fantasia Film Festival. This specific film serves as a therapeutic exploration of the family's real-life experiences with serious illness, using supernatural elements to process personal health battles. By maintaining a DIY, punk-rock approach to cinema, the parents and their two daughters remain outside the traditional studio system to preserve their creative freedom. Ultimately, their collaborative art functions as a way to strengthen familial bonds while contributing a distinct, authentic voice to the global horror community.
