Step into the shadows with Phoenix and Jason as they reveal the dark artistry woven into their latest cinematic venture, "The Geechee Witch: A Boo Hag Story." Discover the decade-long journey that brought this chilling horror thriller to life, from its roots in the boo hag folklore to the screen. Our conversation peels back the curtain on the rich Gullah Geechee heritage that not only serves as the film's haunting backdrop but also brings to light the underrepresented African-American culture in horror cinema. Phoenix and Jason recount navigating the film's development, embracing the challenges of storytelling within a budget, and the power of a narrative steeped in personal experience and regional mythology.
Pull up a seat as we chart the uncharted territories of independent filmmaking with our guests, guided by the bright beacons of dedication and resourcefulness. Phoenix and Jason articulate the essence of a producible script, the dexterity required to adapt to feedback, and the importance of a cast and crew in perfect harmony. They share the tightrope walk of balancing financial limits with crew welfare, offering a candid look at what it takes to film in the most demanding of locales. With a subtle hint at the spine-tingling plot of 'The Boo Hag,' our discussion not only sets the stage for an anticipated horror saga but also shines a spotlight on the collaborative spirit that pushes the boundaries of genre storytelling.
