Welcome to another horror-licious Creative Chat, featuring the inimitable Shannon Joy Rodgers, an Emmy-wining writer, performer, inline skater, director, editor — she kinda does it all. 

After seeing Shannon’s slyly comedic horror short, A Moment of Your Time — which is currently running the festival circuit before its wider release — I couldn’t wait to have her on the podcast to talk all kinds of things, including:

• the humor/horror Venn diagram;
• how her early years as a skater influenced her editing and storytelling;
• the value of diversity in media; 
• the beauty of artistic collaboration (she co-wrote and co-starred in AMOYT with her husband, Ross Bryant);
• and (of course) what horror movies she’s loving right now. 

Shannon is just so much fun to chat with; I’m sure you’ll love her insights, too. Enjoy, and, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine.
