After a long hiatus, DISTURBING TALKS is back!! Last year was a humbling year for me. After 10 years in the insurance biz I finally decided to pursue my career in filmmaking. Since then, it's been non-stop job hunting and making movies, which has left me neglecting my baby, DISTURBING TALKS. Well, Neglect no more! Today starts off a brand new season with Disturbing Talks and what better way to start it then with some friends of the podcast. With Dread Central's Sean Decker as guest host, we're joined by filmmakers Allie Rivera & Bryan Brewer, who discuss their flick "THE RAKING". Both...

info_outlineIn this very special episode we chat with writer, director, and editor Dan Ast. We talk about his time editing for the extremely popular web show, Equals three, then jump directly into the topic at hand... L.A. Macabre.
Dan and I discuss the beginnings of the show and how it came to fruition. He talks about how they shot the first Season with just $9,000 and how that money manifested an award winning show: even going as far as picking up distribution w/ Proven Entertainment!
Dan takes us deep into the Macabre and reveals his plans for the Second Season - not only wanting to step up the scale, but the budget too! For the past month they've been riding the Crowd funding road: an idea that has increased in popularity - over 1,000% - since it's rise in 2004. Dan talks about the craziness of running a campaign and gives some insight on the second Season.
