We really enjoyed chatting with Mike Snoonian of All Things Horror and revealing all of our secrets about TEN and Magnetic.
(Last year, we also did a fun written interview about TEN for All Things Horror.)
Husband and Wife team Michael J. Epstein and Sophia Cacciola are longtime fixtures of the Boston art and music communities. Playing together in diverse projects Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, Space Balloons, https://mjeml.michaeljepstein.com/, and Darling Pet Munkee, the pair always look for new creative challenges lest the fear of stagnation set in.
After directing a number of music video projects and short films, the partners turned their attention to TEN, unique lulls audiences in with the appearance of a standard slasher film before pulling the rug out and defying easy categorization. With a comprised completely of women, including a number of stalwarts in the local burlesque and performance art community, and taking full advantage of its location shoot at a sprawling, gothic mansion, TEN offers a unique experience for the adventurous viewer. The film makes its DVD and VOD release April 21st.
The pair followed up their feature debut with MAGNETIC, which makes its world premiere at the Boston Underground Film Festival this Sunday March 29th at the Brattle Theatre. Set in a post apocalyptic future, it focuses on a lonely woman with the Herculean and depressing task of informing families their loved ones are no longer.
