Exclusive Interview With Matthew D. Ward and Justyn Ah Chong Of Wichita

Posted in: Podcasts by Gino Sassani on July 5th, 2017

The Candy Factory has been churning out the sweets of late. You must have noticed the many reviews we’ve had for the studios recent output. One of those films is the horror movie Wichita by first-time filmmakers Matthew D. Ward and Justyn Ah Chong. It’s a claustrophobic thriller that combines a bit of cinema verite with serial killer character study. I had a chance to talk to the two filmmakers, and they were eager to share their experiences on the film. While the audio is a bit rough (cell phone conference call) it’s worth a listen, to be sure.
