In this episode, Gaetano sits down with Jed Shepherd – co-writer and producer of HOST (2020), one of the highest-rated horror films ever made, and collaborator of Blumhouse, Netflix, and Sam Raimi.
Jed talks about growing up obsessed with horror in South London, spending years in finance while writing scripts on the side, and how making HOST became the moment that changed everything.
They also get into what it really means to call yourself a filmmaker, why you can’t afford to be just one thing in this industry, and the writing system Jed swears by – 3 hours every morning, then stop, no matter what.
A conversation about horror, obsession, and reinvention.
