Interview with Filmmaker and Horror Actress Jennifer Stone [Women in Horror Month 2021]
Please introduce yourself.
My name is Jennifer Stone and I am a Independent Horror actress, director, writer and producer in Dallas, Texas.
What is it that attracts you the horror genre for your chosen field of creative work?
I have always loved horror films from a young age. I grew up watching them every Friday night with my mother and Aunt and my love only crew further as I became an adult and ventured into filmmaking with my partner Abel Berry. Practical 80s style effects are definitely where I get the most passion and try to show my love from past films in our own way.
Interview with Filmmaker Sarah French [Women in Horror Month 2021]
Please introduce yourself.
I’m Sarah French, an actress based out of Studio City, CA. I grew up in the Midwest. I spent a portion of my childhood growing up on a farm. I think that’s where my love for entertaining came from. We didn’t have computers, cell phones or cable TV. We had to be creative to entertain ourselves. I loved putting on plays for friends and family. As a teenager I found friends that were into what I was into and we all made short horror films together. I went to school for criminal justice but couldn’t escape my love of film, so I chose to focus on that. I’m a huge horror fan and love metal music. I enjoy hiking and being out in nature.
