Hello, my name is Destiny Soria of Lady Destiny Productions LLC

I have done my first feature film Christmas Slasher that will be released worldwide this Christmas 2024. I have won awards for the trailer, script, and poster. I’m ADHD and autistic artist with many credits under my name. I have done some short films that have been released in Tubi called VHS Violence Bootlegged and United States of Horror Chapter 3. No Promised Land won me my first actress award that is also streaming on Tubi! My second film will start production next year 2025 called Blood from Snow.
My first poetry book was release on Amazon and Barnes and noble called Beautiful Tragedy of Destiny, this Feral Heart.
What is horror to you, what makes a work of art one in the horror genre?
Horror is life! You can make anything into horror, and it will be funny or razor or both at the same time in a film. It’s really unique and fun. Animals, objects, items, and pretty much anything into horror film. The more extreme the better I say. Like Rubber was awesome and different.
What made you want to work in horror?
I was rise into the horror genre with my mom. She would take me to the movies when I was young to see Freddy Krueger and Chucky. They are my favorite horror icons. The adrenaline rush in watching the horror on screen and the fun in working on one. It’s just fun and gross to see these gore scenes.
Where do you get your inspiration?
My dreams. I have this imaginary mind and get these cool dreams and ideas from my mind. I write them down into a script. My learning disabilities is a gift and I make these amazing stories from it.
What would you like your legacy to be in the genre (or elsewhere)?
A badass Kickapoo filmmaker that is a twisted individual storyteller.
What is Women in Horror Month to you and why is it still important this many years later?
Women empowerment and support other horror female filmmakers. Supporting each other while making sick horror films!
Who are some of the Women in Horror who you look up to and who do you want to bring attention to in your field or others?
Heather Langenkamp, she is a horror queen! I would love her to be my mom in the next film I work on. I would love to work with those that understand autistic artist and see how amazing we can really put ourselves out there and work really hard on something amazing.
What are you currently working on that you can tell us about?
Working on releasing Christmas Slasher this year with a distribution deal and theater release around Christmas 2024!
