In today's episode we are joined by the dynamic duo of Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman! Their film Man Finds Tape comes out on VOD this week and I absolutely recommend you check it out. Produced by Rustic Films (David Lawson, Aaron Moorhead, Justin Benson) and C. Robert Cargill. In this recent renaissance of found footage horror, these guys tackled the genre with a Junji Ito and sometimes Lovecraftian tale. Unique in its presentation, and showcases the immense talent between these two. Also, check out their book Dead Friend's Society.
