  • John Isberg, Cinematographer & Director of Final Summer
    Jul 20 2024
    John Isberg director of Final Summer, took time out of his busy schedule, while the set was being prepped, to talk to us. He started making short films in high school and wanted to go to film school but only managed Intro to Film before he dropped out because of the expense and his ADHD. In his 20s he was in bands and during the process of making music videos he became very interested in the cinematography and lighting aspect of it. During the second music video while he was helping the director, it ignited a renewed interested in film. After moving to Champaign, Il and playing in bands and teaching middle school, a movie was being made in town called Consumed (directed by Daryl Wein and co-written, co-produced and starring Zoe Lister-Jones) and John joined the crew as Grip and he loved it, even though his interest was really lighting. [Grip - A grip is a technician who sets up, operates, and maintains the rigging and equipment that supports the camera (i.e., dollies, cranes, tracks, jibs, tripods, process trailers, etc.) and lighting (stands, diffusers, nets, etc.) to achieve the director and cinematographer's desired shot.] After wrapping Consumed he developed depression even in the midst of the euphoria. He had the bug, bought a camera and started shooting music videos for bands around town. Then he interned with a local production company, Shatterglass Studios where he helped on commercial shoots until he went out on his own. This is part one, don’t miss part two coming up soon! Get ready for a physical release of Final Summer in the Fall of 2024! There’s talk of a 3D addition in the release. Keep an eye out!!

  • Diane Foster, Director of Easter Bloody Easter
    Mar 30 2024
    Diane Foster is the director of Easter Bloody Easter and founder of Wallybird Productions. But before she became a filmmaker, she was an actor, singer and dancer. She trained her entire life in New Jersey, where she grew up in Union in a large family. She started performing at 8 and was Little Miss Union and she did lots of regional theatre. Diane later went to the Paper Mill Playhouse in Milburn, New Jersey every Summer throughout high school. Diane went to conservatory for years with Anne Hathaway and after winning an award, she realized, acting, could be a career. She moved to New York and did lots of off Broadway and a stint on Law and Order: SVU. By 21, she was living in LA and after 2 weeks there, she met Robin Antin who created The Pussy Cat Dolls. Diane became a dancer for the live show, Pussy Cat Dolls Live at The Roxy. Prior to becoming a group and it was a revue with 20 dancers. When she wasn’t dancing Diane was auditioning for independent films, her first role she was in a movie called Iowa and a documentary called Dying For Meth, she was 24 years old and Iowa was selected to show at Tribeca. Soon the Orphan Killer franchise began and after the sequel, she moved on to create her own production company called Wallybird Productions in 2018 and so far has 17 projects completed. Easter Bloody Easter was inspired by a play that began in an acting class. So Diane and some other actors (Allison Lobell and Miles Cooper) from the play got together and took the show on the road but then the pandemic put a stop to that. So Diane decided to turn it into a film, Allison wrote the script and she, Diane and Kelly Grant hit the ground running. This was Diane’s directorial debut. Easter Bloody Easter is an indie holiday film with physical effects, lots of hilarious killer bunnies and a monster jackelope. It’s a slow burn that only gets better as you watch it. Plus if you like music, this one has plenty of it. Rocky Horror and Little Shop of Horror Fans, this one is for you! And Diane and Co. has already started working on the sequel. Ms. Foster does not just do horror, she is socially conscious and Wallybird Productions is about giving people opportunity who are too often overlooked, in front of and behind the camera. It’s her contribution to change the landscape of the film industry and you can expect every one of her productions to be diverse. If you like docudramas, keep an eye out for My Home Unknown, in keeping with Wallybird’s dedication to change, this film is an eye opening story about a houseless woman struggling with mental illness. Last but not least, Easter Bloody Easter is out and streaming on itunes, apply play and Amazon on March 26, 2024! There will be physical copies that begin releasing on April 2nd and pre-orders are open! And keep an eye out for the soundtrack.

  • Christopher Sheffield, Director of Eigengrau & Bite the Ground
    Jan 4 2024
    Christopher Sheffield is a filmmaker who’s been in the film industry for 13 or so years, a decade in LA and three in Arizona. As soon as he graduated film school, he hit the ground running as making commercials for a trucking company. But the dream began when he was a kid and received two video recorders, one that could record and one that could actually play the tape. He made shorts with his friends until he realized film school was an option. Christopher or Sheff, saved a lot of his money from making commercials and used that to make his first feature at the end of that year, called Run For Your Life. Sheff has a Youtube channel where he has shorts that he started back in film school called Split Lip. And inspired the name of his first action film called Split Lip. He talks about how a feature fell through and he made a short instead called Welcome To The Sting. It was choreographed and co-produced by Billy Smith. A lead actor, James M. Black pulled a hamstring but the entire cast rallied and made it happen. This great short could one day become a series! Sheff talks about navigating the pandemic and the strike and having to pivot and regroup. Much of his work is examining mental illness and the struggle. Making it tangible and his upcoming film Eigengrau puts faces to mental illness by making them real life monsters. It’s an idea that lingered since he was a child and the concept grew as he approached his film career and his first stab at it was his first project, Run For Your Life. But as the concept evolved and coalesced, it’s culminated in his feature to come, Eisengrau. Which is a German word that means the color of darkness behind your closed eyes. Sheff explains the concept and story behind the film and it’s an exciting story! There are plenty of projects in the works! Keep an eye out for Christopher Sheffield! Support indie filmmakers and check out the campaign for Eigengrau! This might be the only way to get a physical copy so there’s a blu ray pre-order and other perks. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/eigengrau-horror-film-monster-fund/x/29269334#/ Find Christopher Sheffield here: http://www.christophersheffield.com Instagram: sheff_shoots_indie Tiktok: sheff_shoots_indie And find us: Carlos Ibarra on IG @jekyl6669 and https://www.fillintheblanksproductions.ca/ Christopher Thompson on IG @theauthor__ Kimberly at http://www.macabreish.com and IG and Tiktok @macabre_ish. https://linktr.ee/macabre_ish
