Dream Chasers Podcast - Episode 5 - Steve Rudzinski

Steve Rudzinski (Director/ Co-writer) knew he wanted to be a director ever since he saw Army of Darkness at the age of 12. Ever since then he has done everything he can to learn as much about filmmaking as possible. He started making short films in high school, poor features post graduation, and in 2011 finally started his true career with the release of The Slasher Hunter. Since then he has directed a film a year on average. He is MOST known for the CarousHELL Trilogy (2016-2023), Amityville Christmas Vacation (2022), Shingles the Movie (2023), and the Meowy Chronicles (2017-2020). Several of these have been picked up for world-wide distribution and have graced store shelves, cable, and online VOD. Dreams take on many forms. As a society, we often focus solely on the results of goal-setting an dream chasing and not the journey itself. Because of this, many folks are shy about talking about their Big Fat Dreams until they achieve them. BUT what if we simply celebrate the journey TOWARDS the dream?

Or does it explode?
