Horror filmmaker Joe Begos went full grindhouse with his latest batshit crazy movie, Jimmy & Stiggs, hitting 1,500 theaters this Friday, August 15th & presented by Eli Roth! Joe reveals how he shot the entire alien gorefest inside his own apartment on 16mm film for under $200k, pulled off insane practical effects with chainsaws, alien puppets, and a POV camera strapped to his own head, and somehow kept his neighbors from complaining during four years of screaming, smashing glass, and spraying neon blood at all hours. He’s also got the wild story of how he first met Eli Roth (it involves two film festivals, a cliff, and a broken back), how Eli ended up presenting the film, and why Terrifier paved the way for its massive release. Plus, Joe talks metal soundtracks, old-school gray aliens, and what it’s like to literally live on the set of your own horror movie for years.
