Holidays Producer / Director Adam Egypt Mortimer and Actor Jocelin Donahue

Corralling a herd of talented filmmakers, both novice and accomplished – Kevin Smith, Gary Shore, Adam Mortimer, Nicholas McCarthy, Dennis Widmyer, Kevin Kolsch, Scott Stewart, Sarah Adina Smith, and Anthony Scott Burns – “Holidays” drops in on eight distinctly individual tales of the macabre, each story spanning less than 15 minutes of screen time with varying degrees of nuance and gore.

The horror anthology, “Holidays”, has recently released on VOD (read our review here), and now we can share our exclusive interview with a pair of the talented people involved in the project. In this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider, Aaron talks with producer / director Adam Egypt Mortimer (“New Year’s”), and star of the segment “Father’s Day”, Jocelin Donahue, to discuss their new film. What went into crafting the dark look at favorite holidays, how were the days and ideas chosen, and how did so many talented filmmakers come together on such a unique project?

Listen now to our interview with ‘Holidays’ producer / director Adam Egypt Mortimer and actor Jocelin Donahue.
