Deadly Indie Speaks to Timothy Whitfield Director of Burlesque Massacre




1.Who is yur biggest influence in the horror genre?
Jason and Friday the 13th was always my favorite series, but as far as directors I guess Wes Craven and Rob Zombie. Nightmare on Elm Street, Wes Craven's New Nightmare and Rob Zombie's Halloween films are among my favorite horror films ever.

2.Your films Burlesque massacre & photographic any plans for distribution?
We really already have on demand distribution through Amazon... not the traditional kind and we need to hype our own ads and things, but Burlesque Massacre has really done well and Photographic has had a great start.




3.Can you tell us the difference between the two films?
The biggest differences is Burlesque Massacre, while dark is a bit tongue in cheek and over the top. It's in the style of a 70s exploitation film. Photographic is dead serious, much more real and very, very dark.

4.What advice can you gibe any struggeling filmmakers out there?
Make what you want to make. Make stuff that interests you. Don't just do it it make money or be famous. You're work will suffer. Don't get me wrong, money is good and there are ways to make your film sell, but don't make a product. Make something you will be proud of.

5. What does the future hold?
We are currently working on a dark comedy web series called "The Boyfriend Killers" and horror/love story vampire film called "Lesser of 4 Evils" that is very dark and tragic.

6.. Say something to the fans?
Just to thank them so much for finding us and supporting us. I am so glad over these past couple years people are discovering us.

The Gruesome Death Of Tommy pistol-another breath of fresh air!


Yet another great new genre piece released by breaking glass pics. Tommy pistol is a struggling actor, with a bad complex who one day gets a job on a snuff film set, little does he realize while cheese grating a few girls to death that he was actually killing them. This kind of plays out lie a Troma version of a Serbian Film. Tommy then gets more & more insane and the carnage follows, i definitely recommend this flick and wouldn't even be talking about it here on deadly indie if i didn't.

Alex Pucci's Frat House Massacre signs of Genius

Wow I just got done watching Alex Pucci's frat House Massacre what a terrific film. Some crazy initiations take place in a genius fashion i can only say reminded me much of the likes of an Argento or Fulci film the soundtrack totaly reminded me of Goblin . Frat House had a great story, a touch of 80's & better gore, the film was very well written & well paced & it really kept me interested the whole time from start to finish, which is more then i can say for a lot of new Horror films out there. I really look forward to more stuff from this promising director I recommend this one.

Deadly Indie Catches up with Justin Russell Director of The Sleeper/ Best Slasher of 2012 So far!






1. Who are your favorite directors in the horror genre?

One of my all time favorites is Dario Argento. I love his visual style. I am also a huge fan of George A. Romero & Tobe Hooper.


2.The sleeper is an homage to classic slashers of the heydey 78-83 were you trying to capture that feel & what are your favorite slashers?

78-83 were by far the best years for the slashers. When I set out to make 'The Sleeper' I wanted it to have the same overall feeling as one of the early greats; where atmosphere and tension were in the forefront. New horror is way too gimmicky and relies too heavily on "cheap scares." I wanted 'The Sleeper' to reflect the same pace and style that those early greats had.

My favorite slashers are: Prom Night, Girls Nite Out, Friday the 13th VI, My Bloody Valentine, Slumber Party Massacre & Tenebre.


3. The sleeper reminded me of Black Christmas meets He knows your alone? would i be right in that analogy ?

There is definitely truth in that analogy, but it is definitely not limited solely to those films. With homages there is a fine line between rip off and homage. So in 'The Sleeper' I pulled reference from lots of early slashers. If you listen to my commentary I point out all those moments and the films that inspired the scenes.



4. What advice would you give struggeling filmmakers out there?

It is a great time for independent filmmakers, but it is also a very complicated time as well. Because of the internet and technology we have so many more resources and available outlets for our work. My advice to early filmmakers would be to just create. The biggest thing I run into is filmmakers talking about waiting for the right time, the budget, the actors...forget all that and just make what you can. If you always talk about it, you'll never do it. Take what you have and make something with it. You will learn from the experience and it will make your future projects that much better. My first feature was made for $500. It's definitely not 'oscar worthy,' but I learned more from that film than any other film I've made.


5. The sleeper will have a Vhs release can you tell us how that came about?

I grew up in the heyday of the video store. On weekends that's what we did. We went to the video store and picked out something to watch. I was always too young to rent some of the sleaze I saw in the horror section, but it always enticed me. Slumber Party Massacre's cover always caught my eye, as did countless other VHS boxes. When I was thinking about the release, I thought it would be amazing to do a special edition on VHS. I made a few phone calls and found out that it could actually happen! I worked with my designer to come up with a special box for it. One that would stand out to me as a kid. After all, 'The Sleeper' is trying to re-capture the spirit of those movies and the expereince. I thought a VHS would be a perfect companion to help me achieve that feeling.

**Please Read The Sleeper review below**





6. What other films have you directed besides the sleeper can you tell us about those?

The Sleeper is my third feature. I made a film in college called, "The Gremlin," which was more of a comedy. It is campy and ridiculous, but also a lot of fun. I learned how to shoot a script from that movie, but I definitely wouldn't call it my directorial debut. I would save that for my second feature that was just released last August by Shriek Show, 'Death Stop Holocaust.' This is a really gritty and hardcore slasher film that worked off of the Grindhouse asthetic. It was made super cheap and really quickly and nearly killed me. There was really no crew, besides a few friends there to help out, and I was working full time at a production studio when I made it. It is really different from 'The Sleeper.'






7. Say something to all the fans out there?

I'd like to tell the fans a sincere Thank You. For those that have purchased 'The Sleeper' and have sent me kind e-mails, Thank you. It is extremely humbling when the fans reach out to me and tell me what 'The Sleeper' meant to them. I love slasher films and I really wanted those fans of the sub-genre to have a lost 80's slasher to add to their library.
