PUBLIC VERSION. Actress/model turned director/producer Brande Roderick (TV’s BAYWATCH, STARSKY & HUTCH, HOOD OF HORROR, THE NANNY DIARIES, TV’s THE SURREAL LIFE, PLAYBOY’s 2001 “Playmate of the Year”) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss her career journey and the making of her debut feature film WINEVILLE - available now! From growing up in a horror loving family and the films she saw as a child that shaped her appreciation for the genre… to how the pandemic, her desire to keep working, and the availability of an amazing location served as the genesis for getting into the director’s chair for WINEVILLE… to producing the film herself and having to juggle all aspects of the production while simultaneously acting and directing in it… to how she made the choice to set the film in the 70’s and the challenges of pulling off a period piece with limited resources… to casting her actual son Keaton to play the role of her son in the film and working with previous MOVIE CRYPT guest Texas Battle (WRONG TURN 2)… to managing everything from children to stunts to make-up/gore FX on an ambitious 12 day shoot… to why it was so crucial to cast seasoned actors she could count on when up against such a fast shooting schedule… to the various obstacles she was hit with once filming began… to how she approached handling the film’s delicate and dark themes like sexual abuse… to how her experiences working as an actress on various TV and feature film sets informed her approach behind the camera and the helpful lessons she learned along the way… to being part of the very first groundbreaking season of THE SURREAL LIFE and the start of what would become the “Celeb-Reality” genre of television… to how she prepared to compete on THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE and stories from living in the Playboy Mansion… Brande’s long career has continued to expand thanks to her fearless approach to new challenges, her refusal to be stereotyped, and her willingness to step out of her comfort zone.
