Jared Cohn headlines Sharknado: Heart of Sharkness, on DVD October 6th from The Asylum. We caught up with Cohn – who, like his character in the movie, is a filmmaker too – to speak everything terrorizing fish prior to the film’s bow.
Hi Jared, now the new film isn’t Sharknado 4 but a spin-off, of sorts, is that right? Can you give us the 411?
Correct, this version is about the forgotten, secret movie that was buried. It is a comedic origin story shot in a documentary style. We had Zack Ward, Julie McCullough and Rachel True in the cast. Was a great experience.
How did it come about?
What I believed happened was one of the companies that The Asylum works with was inquiring about how Sharknado came to be, and someone thought wouldn’t it be funny if we made a comedic version of how this all happened? Luckily...

The documentary Gas Hole directed by Scott Roberts and Jeremy Wagener is coming to DVD on April 19 from Cinema Libre.
And the prices go up, up, up in Gas Hole.
The 2010 production takes on the subject of the history of oil prices, the future of alternative fuels and the proposition that oil companies have repeatedly squelched any viable alternatives to petroleum by killing patents, buying out the competition and manipulating supply and reaping record profits following natural disaster.
Featuring footage from a Congressional testimony by the presidents of the oil companies as well as interviews with such Congressional leaders such as Senator Tom Udall (D-New Mexico) and Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, Gas Hole has already experienced backlash from the oil companies as well as an executive from General Motors Alternative Fuel Vehicles Division, according to co-director Scott D. Roberts.
The DVD, which carries a list price of $19.95, contains a filmmakers’ commentary as a bonus feature.
