Transatlantic History Ramblings

INTERVIEW BEGINS AT: 29:45

Welcome to the first of our October spooky treats episode, today we focus on the independent horror genre and we welcome a true legend of micro budget filmmaking, this amazing writer/producer/actor/director and just about anything else you can think of in the world of filmmaking, the one and only Jeff Kirkendall.

Jeff has appeared in well over 60 films, directed 14 of his own films and is still pumping out the product ( 6 films so far in 2023 and 4 more in post production)

Jeff has appeared in films such as Sharkula, Sharkenstein, Cocaine Shark, Amityville Exorcist, Amityville in Space, HouseSquatch, R.I.P Van Winkle 1,2 and 3 ( the latter 2 he also co-directed with the one and only mark Polonia!!!) Bigfoot vs. Zombies etc etc. Jeff's all around likeableness always shows thru, be it he is the hero, villian or "oddball" The truth is, when speaking of ultra low budget filmmakers, these are the most dedicated and passionate movie makers, they do what they do not for profit (as there is almost no profit in this kind of filmmaking) but for the pure love of film and we true film fans love them for it. So join us in this exclusive interview with the legend Jeff Kirkendall.
