Into The Abyss: Exclusive Interview with Chauntal Lewis, Star of Toolbox Murders 2

You probably haven't heard of Chauntal Lewis yet. Hopefully, that will soon change. I was lucky enough to work with her on the indie film, The Commune. She recently took some time off her busy schedule to do this interview with me for Horror Society. Take a sec to read about her inspirational story:

"Enter The Dark"
my new horror short movie.
Follow my progress on this blog.
Homage to The Exorcist, The Shining, Poltergeist, Alien and The Blair Witch Project.

…a frightening little slice of haunted house cinema that easily stands on its own for a good old fashioned scare.
- Rogue Cinema

...works like a good horror tale should, suckering us in with one hand while it's preparing to pop up and scare us with the other. There's a command here that can't be taught, and Miro shows a natural gift for creating tension
- From Midnight, With Love

… wonderfully shot and acted and the twist ending was masterfully pulled off by filmmaker Todd Miro.
- Planet of Terror

"The Commune"
Equal parts Rosemary's Baby, The Wicker Man, Don't Look Now & Mulholland Drive, The Commune tells a tale of entrapment, sacrifice and familial dysfunction. It premiered at Dances With Films Film Festival and has received multiple awards.

I wore many hats on this project including producer, editor, motion graphics designer, colorist, re-recording sound mixer, sound designer and post-production supervisor.

"Sam Cooke: Crossing Over"
a broadcast documentary for PBS's prestigious AMERICAN MASTERS series. I provided motion graphics, including the main title sequence, and also did additional editing.

"Global Focus"
narrated by Robert Redford, this 30-minute documentary series features intimate portraits of six passionate and dedicated activists from around the world. I edited two of the six stories, along with providing all graphics and sound mixing for this documentary, which airs on PBS and has won two Northern California Emmy Awards.

Afterimage Digital
My video post-production business.

The Abyss Recommends:

Perhaps the best collection of horror short-stories ever published.

The most amazing camera for under $2000. True 35mm depth of field - 24fps - 1080p. Now go make a movie!

Oh yeah, you'll need to record audio too. Big deal... get one of these.

Anyone even thinking about calling themselves a writer, director, editor, even a producer should own this book - and consult it often. As an editor it is invaluable as a resource for spotlighting the importance of story in a film industry that is too often allured by spectacle.
