Rogue Cinema - May 2008
An Interview with Daniel Sjerven By Duane L. Martin
The first time I saw Daniel Sjerven was in the film Group Home. I was struck by how natural and likeable he was on the screen. I didn't realize at the time, that I would soon be seeing him again in the incredibly sweet new film from Christopher R. Mihm, Cave Women on Mars, in which he had a starring role. While watching that film, he reminded me a bit of a young Bruce Campbel. That left me saying to myself, "I gotta interview this guy!" So I did, and here it is... Read...
An Interview with Brooke Lemke By Nic Brown
When Brooke Lemke decided to become an actress she did something most young actors don’t do; she helped start a production company in Minneapolis called Silent-But-Deadly Productions with fellow actress Rachel Grubb. Now Brooke is not only making a name for herself as an Actress, Writer and Director, she’s also helping women aspiring to work in front of or behind the camera to make their dreams come true as well. Having just finished directing her first film, Brooke is already busy preparing for her next project. As if that weren't enough, Brooke even helps out with www.minnewood.com, a website dedicated to helping promote independent film in Minnesota. Despite this hectic schedule, Brooke still finds time to promote her new film “Cave Women on Mars” and even take a little time to talk with B-Movie Man, Nic Brown about her work on both sides of the camera and why you may find a German language course book in her hands if you chance to meet her.

An Interview with Mark Poole By Nic Brown
When Mark Poole decided to independently write, produce and direct a horror/comedy he didn’t do it half-heartedly. Early mornings, late nights, and every weekend went into this labor of love and the result: Dead Moon Rising the film that Fangoria magazine picked as its DVD release of the month for May 2008. Of course he didn’t start with an award winning independent film, he started with an idea. Now his production company, Anubis Digital, has its own production facility, a talented pool of actors (including Women of Horror featured actress Tucky Williams) and big plans for the future of independent film in the Bluegrass state.

An Interview with Tucky Williams By Nic Brown
A tall, sexy, blonde with a sword in her hands leaps into the midst of a mass of zombies approaching a small group of survivors. The survivors watch open-mouthed as she proceeds to dispatch the creatures almost effortlessly with the weapon. When she seems to grow tired of that sport she simply drops a stick of dynamite into the horde blowing them to bits and ending the threat, for the moment. All in a days work for Vix, the bad-assed-beauty in Mark Poole’s indy-zombie-epic: Dead Moon Rising. However, as interesting as the character Vix may be, Tucky Williams, the actress behind the sword wielding heroine is even more intriguing. Read...
An Interview with Sarah Swofford By Nic Brown
Horror Hound Weekend in Indianapolis drew huge crowds. With guests like Danny Trejo and Doug Bradley, vendors from across the country and screenings of new horror films from Anchor Bay Entertainment one shouldn’t be surprised by the large turn out of fans. However, it wasn’t just the bigger stars that were drawing all the attention. Although relatively new to the business, actress, model, and voice artist Sarah Swofford spent the weekend meeting some of her fans and making new ones with her winning smile and personality. Sarah’s booth seemed to constantly draw a crowd. In fact, Sarah was so popular that she sold out of most of her DVDs on the first day. After having met her though, it was easy to see why; Sarah Swofford is a truly fun person to be around. Her infectious good nature carries to everything she does and that’s why it was a real pleasure to sit down and talk with this vibrant young actress about her film work, why she loves The Cover Up Girls, and the reason why we may one day hear her singing the blues (in a good way).
