Episode 9: Justin Sulham

Order your copy of "Big Bad Betty" NOW! https://www.rustedlanternpictures.com/physical-media-orders Today’s guest is filmmaker Justin Sulham who's debut feature, the horror-comedy film, “Big Bad Betty” is ONLY available on physical media for its release. We discuss what led to that decision- and so much more- but first, Justin Sulham grew up in the Greater- Boston area, but is currently based in Nashville, TN. He’s worked in the Camera and Electrical department on some HUGE projects- such as Severance, The Holdovers, and Dexter: New Blood- to name a few. He’s made a name for himself directing in the music video industry- including directing a video for the song “Take Me Home” by Dexter himself, Michael C Hall’s band “Princess Goes”. With his experience, determination, and passion for the horror-genre and filmmaking- I truly believe Justin is a director to watch closely over the next few years.
