I fully agree with you, and I think that you're so spot on as well with the way that horror films have changed, on a mass level, of course. But with that too, I've developed haters.
Ever wondered what it takes to make a mark in the world of horror and sci-fi films? Meet Dustin Ferguson, an award-winning filmmaker who has turned his childhood love for spooky movies into a prolific career. In this episode of 'A Billion Realities', host Jessica Gerlach chats with Dustin about his journey from a small-town kid in Nebraska to a renowned director with over 100 films under his belt.
Growing up watching classics like 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Alice, Sweet Alice', Dustin faced numerous hurdles, including societal norms and personal challenges, especially as a gay man in the Midwest. Yet, his passion for filmmaking never wavered. Starting with fan edits, he eventually worked on 'Sleepaway Camp IV' and never looked back. Dustin credits his relentless output and the unwavering support of his team, particularly John Kleise from Australia, for his success.
Drawing inspiration from legendary directors like Wes Craven and Roger Corman, Dustin strives to balance creativity and darkness in his films, avoiding pure brutality for the sake of it. His story is a testament to perseverance and the importance of following your dreams, no matter the odds. Tune in to hear more about Dustin's fascinating journey and his advice for aspiring filmmakers.
