Monsters and Women | The Killgrin | Joanna Tsanis | Female Filmmakers | FilmQuest Interview —Ep.8

Our last FilmQuest Filmmaker Friday!

 

Joanna Tsanis (writer, director), Maryam Remtulla (associate producer), and Konstantina Mantelos (final girl) who helped create the women-made monster movie, The Killgrin, a feature film that debuted at FilmQuest in October 2024. These horror babes discuss creating this monster from nothing, facing your demons (figuratively and literally), and the joys of producing an independent film. Tune in to a creative conversation about this creature feature, The Killgrin.

 

Please excuse any sniffles or congestion from out horror host. Thank you! 

 

Don’t worry— there’s plenty more filmmaker interviews to come, but these will be filmmakers our horror host has met outside of FilmQuest. You will find those videos in a separate playlist, when they come ALIVE. So, stay tuned!
