Recalling experiences - on my own sets and crewing on other peoples' films - it's been challenging to pick the weirdest experience, (that I can mention without getting in trouble) - but I think in the end it would have to be: picking out a rat in a reptile store to use on a film set, and waiting for the director to decide if he would settle for a brown rat because they were out of gray ones.

Etheria Film Night 2014 in Hollywood
In Los Angeles for the annual Etheria Film Night - a night of films by women filmmakers in horror, fantasy and science fiction.
It's a lot of fun - a lot of the filmmakers show up (there's a well-organized red carpet event) and it's well-attended. The format includes a feature film and a slate of shorts. I learned about Etheria in 2013 when my film "Shelter" was accepted to their tour, for which the theater event is the kick-off.
This year's feature film was Axelle Carolyn's "Soulmate", an uncommonly good supernatural thriller about a depressed woman trying to recover in a country retreat that turns out to be haunted. I'm glad I saw it on a large screen, it's visually gorgeous. It's a high-quality film in every respect, and I think it would do well in theatrical distribution.

"Shelter" screening at Calgary Horror Con
"Shelter" will be screening at Calgary Horror Con in August.
Canada and horror - two words that don't normally go together in my mind, but I am grateful!
This year, Horror Con welcomes Lloyd Kaufman, creator of such films as Toxic Avenger and Nuke 'Em High.
