When did you first become interested in horror stories and movies? In the early 70s I would sneak up with my brother and watch Bob Wilkins on Creature Features on KTVU channel 2. I was 6 the first time I watched Night of the Living Dead on Creature Features and loved it. I became a fan of horror movies for a long time after. It was only natural because in the States we really celebrated Halloween back then. At the time I was reading book like Black Beauty because I was really into horses but I think I started liking fantasy when our teacher read The Hobbit to us when I was 11 and my mom, knowing that I loved the Salem’s Lot mini series, bought me Salem’s Lot the book with pictures from the mini series and after that I was hooked on horror books. I think I was 13 when that happened. What gave you the idea for your channel and getting on YouTube? You know, I’m not even sure how I found out about the channel URMAKER, but I was listening to him while getting a story ready to send to a maga...

Ahead of the World Premiere of THE BLUE ROSE, which he made whilst still at school, George Baron talks about overcoming self-doubt, the concept of ‘pastel-noir’ and the influence of David Lynch as a male role model. George, THE BLUE ROSE marks your feature film debut. What would you say were the biggest challenges in getting it off the ground? The biggest challenge was probably overcoming my own doubts and anxieties I had about the project. Getting the right people on board for the cast and crew actually fell into my lap pretty easily. When you started shooting the film in 2021 you were only sixteen years old, joining a very select band of teenage feature film makers. How did you find coping with all the pressures at the time? Yeah, I don’t think there are many of us out there. I’ve only heard of like two others, so it feels nice to be spearheading this new generation of filmmakers. I literally shot the film over my summer break and then went back to school like two days after we ...
