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.
