Christopher Moore - Writer and Director of Children of Sin
Welcome to another episode of the Grim and Bloody podcast! Today we sit down with Christopher Moore - Writer and Director of Children of Sin . Christopher made a name for himself writing and directing Triggered which was a gem of indie horror that perfectly skewers the outright ridiculousness of extreme PC culture.
Children of Sin takes on the religious sect that believes wayward children can be saved through rehab clinics. Sadly many of these clinics are fronts for various schemes to bilk susceptible people out of their money. A third of a way into this feature Chris flips the narrative on its bloody head and you have to hold on tight!

We sat down with a few unique vendors and got their take on the convention. This was an incredible gathering by Brian, the showrunner. The aisles were packed with fest goers and the immense hall emanated the same type of energy you feel at the bigger cons like SDCC.
And to close out the show we sit down with Elizabeth Yoder and James Dorney to talk about their upcoming suspense thriller Rangers. This one has all the feels of a tense film festival burner.
