Jill \u2018Sixx\u2019 Gevargizian is the director of The Stylist that first showed up as a short, in the 2018 anthology, Watch If You Dare. It was co-written by Eric Havens, who is also co-writer on Call Girl, Jill\u2019s debut film and this year is the 10 year anniversary! \n\nJill talks her secret to success and why she surrounds herself with people who are good at what they do and who are better at it than she is. It\u2019s been her version of film school. She points to her having a good network to source from when thinking about a project and that project\u2019s success. Knowing people like Laurence Harvey (from Human Centipede) who she met at a convention and Tristan Risk (from American Mary) who she met through working with the Soska Sisters, knowing the right people just made it easy to execute her movies.\n\nJill brought her years of experience in her trade as a hairstylist in her film, The Stylist, to make it as realistic as possible. So she created the first hairstylist slasher flick! She talks about other amazing films and franchises that also got their starts as shorts like Saw and The Babadook.\n\nJill\u2019s film career really began with the creation of Slaughter Movie House where weird indie horror shorts are shown. \n\nShe is producing on a film doing festivals right now (as of Summer 2023) called Black Mold, so keep an eye out!! Check out the Texas Chainsaw Massacre documentary, The Legacy of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jill is also on that as a super fan and contributor! \n\nThere are some secret projects coming up including one produced with Ed Sanchez (Blair Witch Project) and written by Adam Cesare (Clown in the Cornfield book), so keep an eye out! \n\nSupport indie filmmakers! \n\nFind Jill at:\n\nhttps://www.sixxtape.com\n\nAnd As usual find us here:\n\nCarlos Ibarra on IG @jekyl6669 and\n https://www.fillintheblanksproductions.ca/ \n\nChristopher Thompson on IG @theauthor__ \n\nKimberly at http://www.macabreish.com and IG and Tiktok @macabre_ish. https://linktr.ee/macabre_ish
