John Berardo, director and co-writer of the new horror-thriller Initiation, stops by to talk about writing the movie, getting it made, it’s evolution from short film to feature film, playing with established horror tropes and so much more.

John talks about the story’s foundation in telling a story around a social issue that needs to be examined more deeply and changed, and about the effects of social media on our lives these days and incorporated into the movie in such a seamless fashion.
