Bonus Episode: Jed Shepherd
I love being reminded how creatives can do a lot with limited tools at their disposal. HOST, a horror film that takes place within a Zoom call is a firm reminder that quality can come from such trying conditions. Directed by Rob Savage, HOST takes the viewer on a harrowing night where superstitions are tested. On today’s bonus episode, I’m joined by my old friend Jed Shepherd, who co-wrote HOST with Rob and Gemma Hurley (who also stars in the film). Together we chat about how HOST came to be, using the COVID-19 pandemic to a creative advantage and what it’s been like to see it become this wild success (HOST currently rests at 100% at Rotten Tomatoes). I’ve known Jed for many years now, since I was a teenager! He’s such a lovely guy, always willing to make you laugh and he’s a true film geek through and through.
