Based as we are out of central Illinois, it is rare that we get the opportunity to speak with creators that are local to us. We spend a lot of time speaking with filmmakers and personalities on the east and west coasts and abroad, but it’s a real gem when we get to talk to a fellow midwesterner.
Ben Harl, Decatur, IL based filmmaker and operator of Dark Soul Studios took some time out of his busy schedule to talk midnight movies, horror in the digital age and growing up weird in the heartland with us. So, turn off the smart tv, dim the backlight on your phone and find your favorite easy chair as we take a trip down memory lane.
