The Viewfinder Podcast with Chris Hadley

Director Ritesh Gupta’s new movie The Red Mask is not just an entertainingly scary indie slasher but it's also a tribute to the classic chillers - like Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street - that spooked and thrilled generations of horror lovers and filmmakers. It's also an authentic representation of queer relationships, and an incredibly timely commentary on how toxic fandom and the “culture wars” in America have done immeasurable damage to present-day society. The Red Mask is about a struggling queer scribe - Allina, played by Helena Howard - whose next assignment is to rejuvenate a revered but dormant scream franchise in the fictional Red Mask series.Overwhelmed by obscenely high expectations and high pressure from the studio, and repeatedly bullied and threatened by hateful fans online, Allina finds a change of scenery when she and her partner Deetz (played by Inanna Sarkis) retreat to a supposedly peaceful but very distant rental cabin. Unfortunately for both of them, two unexpected guests in Red Mask devotees Ryan (played by Jake Abell) and Claire (played by Kelli Garner) and a world of unimaginable evil turns their weekend of brainstorming and intimacy into a Hollywood nightmare that increasingly becomes all too real. Ritesh Gupta joins me to tell the full story of how The Red Mask came to life on this week's Viewfinder Podcast.

Part two of our review of the 2025 Louisiana Film Prize features two back-to-back interviews with the acting winners from this year’s event: from writer/director Alexander Jeffery’s The Old Man at The Bar, Best Actress honoree Abby Tozer, and Best Actor honoree from Girl Dad, Ty Hudson, who’s joined by wife/filmmaking partner Rachael Hudson. Ty wrote the movie and Rachael directed it. In The Old Man at The Bar, Abby plays a temperamental French waiter who along with her irritating co-worker (played by Noah Silver) becomes charmed by a kind yet mysterious senior citizen (played by Stan Brown from Jeffery’s 2015 Film Prize Best Picture winner The Bespoke Tailoring of Mister Bellamy) with a taste for rare wine and a bittersweet story all his own. Ty Hudson won the 2025 Film Prize award for Best Actor for his emotional and touching performance in the father-daughter time travel drama Girl Dad as a man, Anthony, who experiences the happiness and troubles of parenthood on one special day with Emily, a daughter he’ll never meet - but one who teaches him that a father’s love endures in spite of both devastating loss and the unstoppable passage of time itself. Girl Dad, and Ty’s performance in the film, is a tribute to both fatherhood and to the beautiful memory of the child that Ty and wife Rachael tragically lost themselves.

This past October, the city of Shreveport, Louisiana again became Prize Port as the Louisiana Film Prize showcased another remarkable lineup of short films shot and produced in the Pelican State. This week and next week’s shows are dedicated to the 2025 edition of Film Prize, and you’ll hear exclusive interviews with this year’s honorees for its Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress awards. On today’s show, I’m joined by three members of the brilliant team behind Grand Prize-winning film Last Minute: writer/director Michael Cusumano, co-star/executive producer Charity Schubert and movie co-star Blayne Weaver. Set in 1989, the comedy stars Schubert as Jackie, a single mom whose procrastinating son Jason (played by Espyn Doughty in his movie debut) waits until - you guessed it - the last minute to work on a school project due the next day. Racing against the clock, and without easy access to any materials that can help them get it done faster, Jackie and Jason must depend on the generosity and knowledge of her neighbors - Georgia, a science expert (played by Moriah L. Hicks), her brother//rich source of useless trivia Brian (played by Donnovan Roe) - and on a more bittersweet note, Jackie’s ex-boyfriend Ken (played by Weaver). As night turns into morning, the exhausted mother/son pair discover the importance of teamwork - and the value of time.Last Minute won the $50,000 grand prize at the 2025 Prize Fest, and in this interview, Michael, Charity and Blayne recall their unforgettable memories of not just their film’s victory but also the invaluable experience of Prize Fest itself - from meeting audiences and fellow artists to enjoying their work win over movie fans at a festival that’s celebrated the works and talents of some of  Louisiana’s best filmmakers and actors.Find out more about Film Prize and PrizeFest at: https://www.prizefest.com/Follow Michael and Charity's production company Whiskey Cat Productions on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeycatproductions/Follow The Viewfinder Podcast on X @ViewfinderPodOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheViewfinderPodcastMusic by Audionautix.comThe Viewfinder Podcast logo designed by Matison LeBlanc

On this edition of the show I’m honored to be joined by two of the brilliant talents behind the spooky audio drama The Demonic Detective: its creator, Jason Brasier, and co-star Jonathan W. Robbins. The eight episode first season of the series is now streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and various other platforms. Set in New Salem - or an alternate universe of Salem, Massachusetts in the 1940’s - and combining hard-boiled detective drama with supernatural chills in a retro old-time radio style, The Demonic Detective features Robbins as Jack Faust, a downtrodden detective who is, as Brasier describes him, “a detective who’s seen more than he'd like to and who drowns his sorrows in bourbon.” His next case becomes a battle for both justice and his own survival when a childhood pal-turned nun - Madame Zola, played by Jillian Clare - seeks his assistance. Unfortunately for Jack, his soul and body will take on a ghoulish perversion when an evil spirit - Lilith, played by Shelley Waggener - consumes the normally grizzled detective. Doomed to co-exist with that demon by a wicked group of witches dubbed The Coven, and with his reputation destroyed after a brutal split from his former partner, Detective Emmanuel Lawson (played by A Martinez), an emotionally wounded and demonically possessed Jack investigates a world of voodoo, corruption and curses in a town that may never overcome its own historical misfortune as the place where witches died and suspicion lived.Completing the show’s incredible cast are Vanessa Leinani as the powerful coven leader Morogon Allistair, Jenique English as the high voodoo priestess Lady Boleyn, Chris English as her loyal assistant/protege Ezekiel Pendragon, Ryan Smith as the tortured ex-cop Giles Corey (among many other voices he performs on the show), and Ed Robinson as the crusading witch hunter Archibald Huxley. Find out more about The Demonic Detective on the show's web site:https://www.demonicdetective.com/Listen to the show on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-demonic-detective/id1843186163On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/27XmA8xqppTdhBaviPs9eC?si=e7ea3f0990a54055Follow The Viewfinder Podcast on X @ViewfinderPodOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheViewfinderPodcastMusic by Audionautix.comThe Viewfinder Podcast logo designed by Matison LeBlanc

Next week is Halloween, and fitting with the spooky nature of this show these past few weeks I now turn your attention to another chiller that's in the spotlight on this pre-All Hallow's Eve edition of the Viewfinder Podcast: writer/director Chris Maes’ suspenseful, scary and sometimes silly horror/thriller mash-up, Air Shift. The movie stars Ashlee Lawhorn as Lisa Richmond, a lonely, struggling overnight DJ at a failing community radio station managed by her overbearing jerk of a boss, Dwight Abbottson (played by Alex Diehl). Lisa’s enthusiasm for indie rock and her love of radio keeps her going on the air while her romantic and job problems escalate off of it, but one night, she suddenly detours from spinning records to venting about her troubles, earning the attention of a new and ultimately dangerous listener in handsome John Bowen (played by Patrick Andrew Jones). Little does Lisa know that John is also a suspected serial killer, and when he sweet-talks his way into the station and onto the airwaves, he suddenly holds Lisa and her otherwise free-wheeling show hostage. As the night progresses, Lisa tries to escape from her captor, but she and John discover that they are both targeted by a flesh-hungry, manic group of formerly normal nuclear waste excavators-turned zombies! Oh...did I mention that the station they’re trapped in was also built on top of an underground nuclear storage facility?Even as Lisa and John fight for their own survival, sleazy record promoter Lonnie Rappalopoulis (played by Donald Imm, who also worked as one of the film’s art directors) unexpectedly demands a live on-air concert for his young pop star client, Sophie Severeid (played by Margarita Gamarnik). Will her dulcet tones be enough to keep the zombies at bay? Will John’s reign of terror end with his well-deserved arrest? Will Lisa’s fortunes improve? Most of all…will these trapped characters survive the night? I’m honored to welcome Chris Maes and Ashlee Lawhorn to talk about this incredible film on this week’s Viewfinder Podcast.Buy or rent Air Shift on Amazon Prime:https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0FQ2LFRDG/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rFollow The Viewfinder Podcast on X @ViewfinderPodOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheViewfinderPodcastShow logo designed by Matison LeBlancMusic by Audionautix.com

Written and directed by Wesley Boone, the terrifying short film Donor puts audiences in the throes of a mother's worst nightmare: the loss of a child immediately after birth. Yet, as two different yet unexpectedly connected parents played by Gordy Cassel and Lucy Faust discover, a baby's death - and inexplicable rebirth - is just the start of a chilling odyssey that makes them risk everything for the love and joy of motherhood. In August, Donor played at the inaugural Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, and now, I'm honored to welcome Wesley, Gordy and Lucy to the show to talk about this extraordinary film.

Written and directed by Zandashé Brown, and co-starring Idella Johnson, Rhonda Johnson Dents, and Lance Nichols, the haunting and spiritually evocative supernatural thriller Benediction turns a desperate and grieving woman's search for emotional healing at a Black Baptist church service into an incredibly surreal experience that tests both her faith and her willingness to take her life in a challenging direction that she never imagined before. Johnson plays the troubled visitor, Rosalee, while Nichols plays the church's charismatic pastor and Dents portrays the mysterious churchgoer who lures Rosalee into an extraordinary opportunity to release her agony for good.Originally produced in 2022, and developed two years earlier at the Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker Program, Benediction was shown this past August at the first-ever Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, and on this week's show I'm honored to welcome Zandashé to talk about how this remarkable movie was created.

On the last show, you heard my conversation with Casey Shaw, the writer/director of Almost Forgot How To Swim, which was recently shown at the first annual Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival as part of a block of Louisiana short films. Now, I'm honored to be joined by the star of that movie, multi-talented actor and musician Jahmiu Yakubu, who plays an emotionally struggling but successful rapper trying to get himself and his career on the right track following a painful breakup. It's a role based on similar events in Yakubu’s own life, which makes his performance in the movie all the more authentic. Almost Forgot How To Swim is not just the name of Shaw and Yakubu’s short film, but it's also the name of Yakubu’s album, with songs from that album heard throughout its movie counterpart. Yakubu and I discuss that interesting connection, as well as his preparation for playing his true-to-life character and his partnership with Casey Shaw on the film, here on The Viewfinder Podcast.

My series of conversations with some of the outstanding Louisiana-based filmmakers  whose shorts were recently seen at the inaugural Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival continues on this week's Viewfinder Podcast. My guest on the show is Casey Shaw, the writer/director of a fascinating and reflective character drama called Almost Forgot How To Swim. The movie, shot on 35mm analog film in Atlanta and produced by Casey's New Orleans-based studio Shawscope, stars actor/singer/songwriter Jahmiu Yakubu as a man trying to not only recover from the heartache of a failed romantic relationship, but also to rediscover his creativity and his purpose in a world that demands everything of him.Almost Forgot How To Swim is also the name of an album written and performed by Yakubu, and some of his songs from that album are heard in Almost Forgot How To Swim, the movie. On our next show you'll hear more from Yakubu about his role in it, and how his own attempts to move on from a breakup influenced the character he plays and the experience he has in the film. Now, though, Casey Shaw joins me to discuss how this unique project jumped from script to screen, and how his production company is making celluloid cool in a digital world here on the Viewfinder Podcast.

Held for the first time this past August, the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival presented an eclectic and entertaining selection of shorts and feature films made in the unmistakable indie spirit, with a significant number of them produced by and starring Louisiana-based talent. For the next few weeks on this podcast, you'll hear from several of those extraordinary filmmakers and actors who brought the Pelican State to the big screen while telling unforgettable stories in the process.My first guest in this special series is writer/director and Morgan City native Matison LeBlanc, whose compelling historical thriller Ada and The Doc takes a look at a nearly forgotten scandal that enthralled her hometown in 1927: the controversial murder trial of housewife Ada LeBeouf and her alleged accomplice Dr. Thomas Dreher, who allegedly helped Ada kill her abusive husband, Jim, while also being suspected of having an affair with her. The trial concluded with a hastily decided yet historic verdict, albeit one rendered without a shred of physical evidence: Ada would be the first Louisiana woman sentenced to death for murder, while Dr. Dreher would also be executed for the same crime. Decades after the trial, LeBlanc prepared a full-length screenplay based on the extraordinary story of both Ada and Dr. Dreher as part of a class filmmaking project at the Georgia-based Savannah College of Art and Design. Returning to Morgan City, LeBlanc and a team of actors and artists filmed a proof-of-concept short version of the screenplay, which premiered to high praise at this year's Cannes Film Festival and was recently seen at the inaugural Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival. As LeBlanc seeks funding to shoot Ada and The Doc in its complete form, the short subject will next be seen twice this coming weekend - Saturday, September 20th and Sunday, September 21st - in a special “double feature” program. The Saturday screening and post-film Q and A session will be held at the Teche Theatre for The Performing Arts in Franklin, Louisiana from 7-8:30 PM, while the Sunday showing will take place at the Manship Theatre in Baton Rouge from 4-5:30 PM alongside other great Louisiana short films as part of the “Her Lens: Louisiana Women In Film” event. Ticket and location information for both screenings is available on Ada and The Doc’s social media pages, which you can find in the notes for this week's podcast. Ada and The Doc will also be shown at the Oscar-qualifying New Orleans Film Festival next month. UPDATE: Ada and The Doc's screening at the New Orleans Film Festival will take place on Sunday, October 26th at 5:15 PM at the Prytania Theatre in Uptown New Orleans.For more info on the film, visit its official web site:https://www.adaandthedocfilm.com/On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adaandthedoc/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adaandthedoc/Follow The Viewfinder Podcast on X @ViewfinderPodOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheViewfinderPodcastMusic by Audionautix.com

The last time I had writer/director Creighton Hobbs join me on this show, he discussed his riveting drama Binded By Tragedy - a film about an ex-con’s desperate fight to escape from his dangerous criminal past.Now with his latest feature, the chilling thriller A Way Out, he looks at a crisis that continues to threaten lives and marriages - domestic violence - in the story of a brave woman who’s determined to flee from her abusive and emotionally broken husband.  Alexis Baca plays the tormented wife, Megan, while Christian Fiorella portrays her menacing spouse John. Also part of the film’s cast is Brent Peek (a.k.a. Alabama and Mississippi professional wrestler “Brym Stone” and the stunt coordinator for A Way Out). Brent plays John’s boss Liam, whose concerns for Megan’s safety increase as John’s rage towards the woman he supposedly loves reaches a calamitous zenith. Rounding out the cast is Sandy Hoffman as Megan’s equally worried friend Sarah, who, like Liam, offers her not just an opportunity to free herself from John’s wrath but to begin a new, loving and happier life - a life without fear.A Way Out will premiere soon on various streaming platforms, and it’s my honor to welcome Creighton, Christian and Brent to the show to discuss this important and potentially life-saving film. For updates on A Way Out, visit the film’s Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561741027380Follow The Viewfinder Podcast on X @ViewfinderPodOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheViewfinderPodcastMusic by Audionautix.com

This week, the amazing and talented actor/filmmaker Bryan G. Thompson is my guest on the show. I'm honored to have him join me to talk about his new action drama CLUTCH, in which he stars as an ex-police investigator - named Clutch - who's driven to solve a complicated unsolved case that's troubled him for years: the kidnapping of several young women by wealthy and dangerous human traffickers. Reluctantly teaming up with a new partner in detective Angel (played by Jamiah Dancil), Clutch and Angel search for the missing victims of those traffickers - including Angel's niece - while Clutch's search for redemption puts both himself and the success of his and Angel's case at incredible risk. Bryan wrote and co-produced the movie, which is now streaming on Tubi and Amazon Video, and it is a sequel to his earlier film, DIRT, which introduced the Clutch character.

Composer Elena Maro's unsettling avant-garde/jazz hybrid soundtrack for director Ferguson Sauvé-Rogan's 1950's-set drama Carriage Return powerfully surrounds the on-screen conflict between a lazy, writer's block-afflicted playwright Lane Williams (played by Jeremy Parr) and his outraged ex-writing partner Charlie Marlow (played by Carlos Sanchez), who accuses his former collaborator of stealing his creative ideas and using them for his most recent theatrical success in an angry confrontation that challenges the emotions - and the futures - of both men.  As unpredictable as the film's storyline is, Maro's score for it is even more so, and its fusion of brass section and saxophone with non-big band jazz percussion and experimental sounds - including those that mimic the typewriter itself - brilliantly and hauntingly accompanies a movie where neither its characters nor the unusual situation they're stuck in are what they seem to be.  Directed by Ferguson and written and produced by his brother Daniel - who also played bass guitar on Maro's score - Carriage Return premiered this past July at the LA Shorts International Film Festival in Los Angeles, and Maro's music from the movie is now streaming on various platforms. (By the way, the movie is named after the “carriage return” key on a typewriter that allows you to go back to the far end of a page and begin typing new words.)

Peer pressure. Bullying. Family troubles. The need to overachieve. Depressed and overwhelmed by these problems, many teenagers try to solve them not through therapy and medication but through illicit narcotics, alcohol, criminal recklessness, self-harm and, sadly, suicide. However, numerous organizations, parents, teen survivors of suicide attempts and mental health experts are combating the suicide crisis.  So too are amazing filmmakers like our guest on this week’s Viewfinder Podcast, Ashley Rae Harper. Her award-winning short film RED, which she wrote, produced and directed, portrays the ordeal of an embattled adolescent - Billie, played by Chloe Hulgan - who’s hospitalized after her distraught mother and father find that she’s tried to end her life. While in treatment, Billie learns not just about the value of living but also about the value of seeking help for her problems - no matter how impossible they may be to solve. RED is available to stream on Harper’s YouTube channel, and you can find the link to it in the notes for this week’s show. Before you watch it, though, please remember that it may be too triggering for certain audiences, and if you or someone you love is at risk of suicide, please call or text the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline immediately at 9-8-8. That’s 9-8-8. They can help save your life and the lives of those you care about. I’m honored to welcome Ashley Rae Harper to the Viewfinder Podcast to discuss this important project and how it will help both teens and their families.

On this week’s show I’m honored and proud to bring you my conversation with an actor, producer and inspirational speaker whose story is one of the most inspiring you’ll hear. His name is Charles D. Clark.  He’s appeared on such primetime TV hits as the Fox drama Empire, which co-starred Terrence Howard as hip-hop king Lucious Lyon, whose once-incarcerated ex-wife Cookie (played by Taraji P. Henson) aims to reclaim her piece of their music dynasty, and whose three sons - Jamal (played by Jussie Smollett), Hakeem (played by Bryshere Gray a.k.a. Yazz the Greatest) and Andre (played by Trai Byers) - compete to take over that dynasty from their legendary yet intimidating father.  On Empire, Charles played the brutal enforcer/right hand man to Lucious Lyon’s friend and associate, Shyne (played by Xzibit). Empire is also where I and millions of fans - including an amazing online community called The Empire Addicts, of which I am a proud member - first became familiar with Charles’ incredible talent.  Aside from Empire, Charles has also appeared on other popular shows like House of Cards and Power Book IV: Force, and in several true crime documentary series such as Relatively Evil, The Perfect Suspect, Who Killed Jane Doe?, Copycat Killers and What Really Happened.  He’s worked in small independent films such as the psychological prison thriller Volkov Origin, which he also co-produced, plus big projects like Charm City Kings (co-produced by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith), Harriet (starring Cynthia Orivo), and the Oscar-nominated biopic Rustin (starring Colman Domingo).  Yet his success didn’t come without struggle, and from that struggle has now come a career - and a life - that he is incredibly proud of.
