New Year, A Poem

 Happy New Year! 

By Kim Layman 

Happy New Year 

The Soska's are bringing the fear 

To a darkened theater 

Near youThis is true 

2013 will be so keen 

Seeing more of your films on the Big Screen  

Will be the best we've ever seen!

Interview With Our Beloved Detective Dolor

Wicked interview with my favourite detective, John Emmet Tracy, and Kim Layman of The Art Of Horror.

"American Mary is winning many clusters of awards. What was it like working on the film? 

JET: Bloody phenomenal, and just plain bloody!

 Yeah, very bloody set. You’d think that being in a film this edgy and gritty would be an intense experience, but I honestly can’t remember ever laughing on a set as much as we did on this one. Jen and Sylvia Soska are an amazing combination of incredible professionalism and refreshing irreverence. They respect the formality and the process of filmmaking while still being the first (and second) ones to crack everyone up."

Going Universal & Staying Original Interview Part 2 with Kim Layman

"First I want to say what an honor it was to even get an interview and a second one, even at that! It's not everyday you get to interview people you admire, here is my take.... It goes to show if you believe in yourself you can achieve ANYTHING, they are a GREAT inspiration to fans everywhere, whether you a horror film fan or not, simply because they won't settle for what Hollywood wants to put out there, the same regurgitated films recycled over and over, it's like wait.. I have already seen this, with the resurgence of horror films, you would think that they would want to put out quality, not just quantity, they hurry to get these films out with even the slightest care or thought of the horror fans themselves, they treat us like were are ignorant, and actually they treat the genre the same way, it shows by what they put out, and to me, that's what sets The SOSKA'S APART, they cater to the fan, not some Hollywood Factory shoving these films out by the bucketloads.."

I love having the opportunity to speak to people who truly love the genre, especially a person as cool as Kim Layman. We got treated to a second round of very thoughtful questions regarding AMERICAN MARY, moving forward with a company like Universal while still staying true to our unique indie voices, gaming, and all sorts of radness!

Please click here for the whole interview! Thank you to Kim for being a wonderful supporter of ours and for taking the time to chat with us.

Breaking the Barrier, Wicked Poem by the Wonderful Kim Layman

BREAKING THE BARRIER, by Kim Layman

Two cool gals named Sylvia and Jen 

                 

                 Would change the world of horror

With paper and pen

Breaking the barrier

Of a genre onced ruled by men

With style and character

Setting out to become 

Great writers & directors

And then some

...with great ambition & vision

They have clearly proven....

Never to give up on your dreams

A Tale Of Mary

 A TALE OF MARY by Kim Layman

A little tale of Mary Mason, 

who had a vision 

...of the medical profession 

broke and fighting depression 

she steps into the world of body modification 

changing her way 

through underground surgery 

I wouldn't want to make her angry 

she'll make your life a distant memory 

so kick back with some wine or scotch 

as we all can't wait to watch..... 

American Mary!!!!!
