Two features playing at the International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival have been making impressions with scifi and horror fans, and this week we’re talking with the filmmakers of these two award-winners.

We have brothers Tony Dean Smith and Ryan Smith with Volition, Tony directed and both co-wrote this scifi crime thriller, and we talk about writing and making this film, getting the characters right, and much more.

We also chat with Ajmal Ahmad, director of the horror adventure My Soul To Keep, about finding the right young actors, about what makes fun horror movies click, practical vs CGI effects, the never-ending appeal of monster movies, and more.
