We head to Great Barrington to check out the Berkshire Film & Media Collective and it's executive director Diane Pearlman, who has made her own moves through the film and effects industry and is hoping to teach more folx to do the same with their initiative for Kemble St Studios.
We also hunker down with a gritty, visceral, multi-faceted horror novel. Cuckoo is the latest work from Massachusetts based author Gretchen Felkin-Martin, and we speak with her about the nuances of horror, the real-life inspirations for the story, and more before we all have a chance to get our books signed at her event at Comics-N-More in Easthampton this Saturday, July 13th.
