This is Part 1, Behind The Scenes with Filmmaker Elaine Chu.\n\nElaine Chu is the director of The Purgation and also worked on Excision. She shares with us how she came to be a film maker and what that entailed. How long it took from start to finish and other than time, what it cost her and if it was worth it.\n\nWhat else she\u2019s been doing and working on and if there will be more horror films in the future. I also outed Carlos as a future film maker and she shares some valuable information. Do you make the movie to make yourself happy or the audience? Plus good ideas for future filmmakers and their work, short form film and why you should absolutely work for free when you\u2019re just starting. And who Elaine would love to work with.\n\nThe difference between movies for horror fans and casual viewers, as well as horror film critics and general film critics. There are lots of Purgation spoilers in this series! \n\n\nMovies mentioned: The Purgation, Excision, Turbo Kid\n\nFind Elaine on IG @helloelainechu and https://m.imdb.com/name/nm4334949/\n\nYou can find Carlos Ibarra on IG @jekyl669, Chris Thompson on IG @theauthor_ and me, Kimberly at macabreish.com and IG and Vero @macabre_ish. https://linktr.ee/macabre_ish\n\nAs always, support the arts and watch movies!
