Why Mitch transitioned to filmmaking (still writing!) and which Academy Award winning special effects artist made it possible for him to make Knucklebones?! He is responsible for the practical effects in such screen gems as Chopping Mall and Beetlejuice! We talk about the movies inspired him to make Knucklebones? Will there be a sequel and what’s coming up next?!

Mitch almost got a horror icon on his film but illness got in the way and we talk about his all time favorite franchises and that he’d love to do a remake of one of them, plus his dream choices for leading man and lady in a feature. There’s also talk of a potential mashup between Knucklebones and another slasher that was released around the same time. Mitch gives some tips for new filmmakers, plus what else he had going on.
He explains why films are so different from streaming platforms to physical medium? The changing landscape of horror and viewers changing habits, especially during the pandemic. As well as why a director may have no idea what the final cut may look like?
We also talk about that one time he acted in a movie and it had Edward Furlong in it! Who sponsored the movie (Knucklebones) and which youtuber happened to be in it? He talks about his FX team and what an asset many indie actors are because of the many hats they wear and why he works with many of the same people, such as Todd Jenkins and Tom Zembrod.
There are so many more exciting projects to come! Look for his Blu Ray release that includes all the good cuts that he originally wanted in but were left out of the streaming version. Expect more gore and faster pacing and don’t forget to watch the extras!
