Filmmaker Matt Sampere (CREEPING DEATH) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope Studio to discuss his journey bringing his debut feature film to life. From watching GODZILLA and KING KONG with his father as a child and developing an early love for monsters and genre films… to being told by teachers that it wasn’t realistic to pursue a career as a filmmaker… to attending community college while playing in a band before heading to Syracuse to pursue a degree in film production… to PA’ing on David Bruckner’s THE NIGHT HOUSE and making the move to Los Angeles just in time for the pandemic to turn the industry upside down and then have the WGA/SAG strikes delay most productions for an additional year… to working a variety of different positions on both film and TV projects before writing CREEPING DEATH… to making a short film version of the story during the pandemic that he would use as a calling card for helping raise the budget to make his debut feature of the same name two years later… to how personal family experiences almost unknowingly seeped into the characters he wrote for CREEPING DEATH… to how his constraints on resources actually helped turn some set pieces into something even better than what he had originally planned… to the film’s world premiere at FRIGHTFEST in the UK and learning to deal with armchair critics, Matt’s story is one that almost every aspiring filmmaker can relate to and draw inspiration from. Watch CREEPING DEATH on Amazon Prime and/or Screambox and get in the Halloween spirit!
