Chris Stuckmann sits down to talk all about his new horror movie Shelby Oaks — his feature directorial debut and one of the most anticipated indie horror films of the year. In this in-depth interview, we break down how personal this project was for him, how he set out to authentically capture the mood and texture of early-2000s horror, and what it was like bringing back the eerie realism of found footage for a modern audience.
We also discuss what it’s like transitioning from film critic to filmmaker, how his years reviewing movies shaped his directorial style, and what he’s learned now that he’s on the other side of criticism. Plus, @ChrisStuckmann reveals the parts of directing Shelby Oaks he didn’t expect to love.
