Directors Series: Cult Underground Horror Films with Director Victor Bonacore (Thrust, Diary of a Deadbeat: The Story of Jim Vanbebber)
"Thrust is the best Troma Movie never made!" - Jerry Horror host of The Offering
A lot has been said about cult films, especially in the last 5 to 10 years. What is the definition of cult film? What is the definition of underground film? I grew up in an era where there were VHS tapes, DVDs and you had to work hard to find it. There was no swipe left or swipe right if you wanted to watch Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive" or "Meet the Feebles". I got bootlegs of John Woo movies through tape and DVD trading. Before there was Pirate Bay, you would have to go to horror conventions and meet up with other collectors. My exposure to what you would call cult or underground films was networking with a lot of like-minded people. As a film fan now, I have access to everything at my fingertips. Do I want to watch John Waters? I can easily download his entire filmography with a streaming subscription.
What is it like nowadays to be a cult or underground filmmaker? With cult or underground films - you're coloring outside the lines and that's why it can't be a studio product. In this episode of The Offering's Directors Series, we have guest director Victor Bonacore talking about his latest release "Thrust" starring Erin Brown and Linnea Quigley, as we have an in-depth discussion about what it takes to produce and complete an underground, do-it-yourself, independently financed feature length movie.
