In this episode, we’re joined by James Dean, the creative mind behind indie horror projects like XXXMas, Absolution, and more. We dive into his journey in film, the raw realities of indie filmmaking, and what it takes to carve out original stories in a genre overflowing with classics. From balancing vision with resources to pushing boundaries with bold storytelling, James shares his experiences and the passion that drives his work.

At Monster Kid Productions, the mission is to deliver high-quality original content that both honors their horror influences and fearlessly pushes the genre forward. They're a boundary-breaking distribution and production company built on practical FX, buckets of gore, and the kind of movies your mom definitely didn’t want you renting from the video store.

This conversation is for every horror fan who believes indie film is where the real blood flows.
