PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Austin Snell (THEY CALL HER DEATH) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope studio to discuss his micro-budget western throwback - now available on Shudder. From the scene in TEMPLE OF DOOM that changed his life… to balancing a day job with making films… to how movies like EVIL DEAD and EL MARIACHI influenced his drive to make a “no-fi flick”… to the role that the pandemic played in pushing him to round up his friends and family and shoot his love letter to Leone, Corbucci, and Fulci on 16mm for a meager budget of $40,000… to his decision to not just write and direct but also produce, DP, edit, and score THEY CALL HER DEATH… to the impression that the film has made at festivals and during its roadshow release across the country… to the art of a good snap zoom… Austin’s story will inspire you to grab a camera, gather up some friends and start shooting immediately!  Don’t miss YORKIETHON IX happening LIVE July 25th - 27th! Stay tuned to ArieScope.com and patreon.com/TheMovieCrypt for more details over the coming weeks!
