The film is a provocative and squirm-inducing psychological thriller loaded with social commentary, so we naturally had lots to discuss. Join Aaron as he talks to Carlo about the project, its origins, his research, the power of genre, and much much more!

Back in September, we had the opportunity to chat with Oklahoma filmmaker Mickey Reece -- along with his director of photography Sam Calvin, production designer Kaitlyn Shelby, and actress Danielle Evon Ploeger -- about his latest film, Climate of the Hunter, an endearingly ambitious 70s throwback full of comedic melodrama and vampires. Join us as we talk about collaboration, capturing that 70s feel, vampires, #MeToo, and much much more!
