February is known as Women in Horror Month, when the spotlight is put on female filmmakers working inside our favorite genre, and many horror sites run pieces about movies directed by women. And that’s great! But there’s no reason why that spotlight should be limited to only one month, particularly when there are so many brilliant and talented female filmmakers working in the genre. Why not use this October to hit up these titles on Shudder and get to know some of the most exciting female voices in horror right now?

"You're too old to be this irresponsible."
Whenever Emily Hagins makes a movie, it demands a lot of attention, mostly because the now 20-year-old writer-director is already on to her fourth feature. She started out at age 12 with the zombie movie Pathogen, the making of which was documented in 2006's Zombie Girl: The Movie. After venturing into the world of vampires for 2011's My Sucky Teen Romance, Hagins is back with a coming-of-age comedy in Grow Up, Tony Phillips, which is set to debut tomorrow at South By Southwest Film Festival (SXSW). The movie is about Halloween, but not about horror movies. Instead it focuses on the aptly-named teenager Tony Phillips (Tony Vespe), who refuses to give up his love of Halloween despite being considered "too old" for the holiday.
"Grow Up, Tony Phillips is a story I felt passionate about telling because it reflects a genuine transition point in...

Chicago – The significant HollywoodChicago.com show business interviews of 2012 – eclectic, independent and varied – flowed throughout the year from the perspectives of Matt Fagerholm, Brian Tallerico and Patrick McDonald. All three contribute to this year-end survey of the 15 Best Interviews of 2012.
With so many promotional tours, conventions and shows coming through Chicago, the opportunity to get a wide range of celebrities, filmmakers and up-and-comers is one of the privileges of covering TV and film here. The following interviews – often enhanced with the photography of Joe Arce – were memorable for the timing or circumstance, and the shared give-and-take between HollywoodChicago.com and the representatives of the entertainment world.

Title: My Sucky Teen Romance Director: Emily Hagins Starring: Elaine Hurt, Patrick Delgado and Santiago Dietche My first introduction to the work of Emily Hagins was when I watched the documentary “Zombie Girl: The Movie”, which chronicled a 15 year old Emily and her attempt at making a feature length zombie movie. She didn’t have any prior movie making experience, and in fact, as the documentary tells us, had only been interested in the idea of making movies for a relatively short amount of time. What she might have lacked in experience, she more than made up for with an incredibly supportive family, plenty of friends who had open schedules, and possibly [ Read More ]

We've always supported Emily Hagins ever since she was an 11-year-old directing her first feature-length horror film back in 2006. That movie was Pathogen, and its unique story was the focus of a really entertaining documentary called Zombie Girl: The Movie. Since then Emily has continued to feed her dream of making movies by directing two additional feature films, The Retelling and My Sucky Teen Romance, the latter of which scored her a premiere at the SXSW Film Festival and a distribution deal through Dark Sky Films (watch My Sucky Teen Romance now on DVD/Blu-ray/iTunes/VOD). Now Emily is back -- she's older and wiser -- and she's taking her next feature film to Kickstarter for assistance in funding what will be her first movie that isn't set squarely in the...

Look, I don’t need to tell you that piracy is bad. Even if you do surf the uncharted seas, I hope you know how important it is to support independent film. The filmmakers of stuff like My Sucky Teen Romance have their futures in the hands of possible consumers. When said possible consumers do not buy their product because they can get it for free, that hurts them. There is some amazing talent out there and I sure as shit hope that you realize what you are doing if you do pirate films or music.
To show you how bad it is, the director of My Suck Teen Romance, Emily Hagins, has a video out there. Feed the director!

In films about the teenage social scene, there is an inevitable disconnect between the adult director, and the youthful experience that he or she wants to portray. My Sucky Teen Romance is a rare exception, since the writer/director Emily Hagins happens to be 19 years old and a peer to her characters. Hagins began her exceptional career at the age of 12, when she created her first feature-length film, Pathogen, and became the youngest recipient of the Texas Filmmakers Production Fund grant, not to mention the youngest feature film director in the United States. The zombie movie was a group effort in her neighborhood in Austin, Texas, where Hagins was known affectionately as the “Movie girl.” Cameras also documented every behind the scenes moment of the production process for a documentary called Zombie Girl: The Movie. Since then, Hagins has developed into a more professional and experienced filmmaker, delving into more complex plots,...

Making its DVD and Blu-ray debut today is My Sucky Teen Romance, the latest film from Emily Hagins, and we have a clip to share with you.
You might recognize Hagins' name from the documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie, which chronicled the young filmmaker's journey directing the zombie film, Pathogen, when she was 11 years old.
With My Sucky Teen Romance, Hagins takes a crack at the vampire sub-genre. The film concerns 17-year-old Kate. On her last weekend in town before heading to college, she and her geeky friends head to SpaceCON, the local sci-fi/fantasy convention. There, Kate meets Paul, a recently turned teen vampire (who takes advantage of the gathering's costume atmosphere by actually dressing as a bloodsucker). But when Kate tries to make a move on him, he gives her the hickey from hell. Kate and her pals then discover that Paul is not the only vampire at the convention,...

Chicago – At age 12, Emily Hagins was literally surrounded by cameras. She was in the midst of directing her first feature, a zombie thriller entitled “Pathogen,” while a film crew chronicled her every move for their own documentary, “Zombie Girl: The Movie.” By the time production wrapped, Hagins was considered a budding sensation on the indie film circuit.
As the youngest director in the U.S., Hagins has displayed an enthusiasm, invention and craftsmanship that far exceeds that of many filmmakers three times her age. On the heels of her sophomore effort, a spooky mystery called “The Retelling,” Hagins has delved into the realm of comedy with a teen romance that deconstructs the “Twilight” phenomenon, while offering its own distinctive twist on the vampire genre. “My Sucky Teen Romance” stars Elaine Hurt as a girl looking to have a fling at the sci-fi/horror convention, SpaceCON, and ends up getting far more than she bargained for.

My apologies for last week, friends. I had begun my column and then life got in the way. These things happen and all we can do is wipe the tears away and move on. Right? For the curious, my picks last week were Red White & Blue and Marriage Italian Style and I still encourage you to add both to your queues.

When it was announced that the newest film from eighteen-year-old director Emily Hagins, entitled My Sucky Teen Romance, was going to premiere at SxSW, I was ecstatic. Almost every member of our SXSW coverage team either lives or has previously lived in Austin and knows Emily personally. Hell, some of us even donated our time to assist in the movie’s completion. That made it slightly difficult to lend our voices to reviewing the film. So do we decline to review it? Do we expend no words on it at all? Yes…and no. There is a story here, and a damn good one at that, completely divorced from the film itself. Emily’s story. Hagins wrote her first feature-length film, Pathogen, at age 11. The next year, she earned a grant from the Austin Film Society to produce Pathogen, effectively becoming the youngest recipient of that award. Her tireless dedication to making her first feature film, and...

On 17-year-old Kate's last weekend in town, she and her friends plan to spend it together at SpaceCON– the local science fiction convention they attend every year. At the convention Kate meets Paul, a recently turned teen-vampire (who is also dressed as one). But when Kate tries to make a move on him, he accidentally bites her in the neck. Kate and her friends soon discover Paul is not the only vampire at the convention, and it is up to them to stop the vampires and find a way to turn Kate back before it is too late. I will be perfectly honest with you, Emily Hagins really fracking amazes me. By the time she was 11-years old, Hagins had produced several shorts and penned the script for her feature-length debut, Pathogen. At age 16, Hagins wrote and produced her second feature, The Retelling. Hagins was 17-years old when Justin Johnson,...

Zombie Girl moves on to vampires.
We're bit late with this, but here's the trailer for teen director Emily Hagins' My Sucky Teen Romance. Hagins made her first movie as a 'tween, the zombie movie Pathogen. Her filmmaking journey was captured in the documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie.
Hagins is still trying to finish her horror-comedy, which sadly focuses on vampires, but what can you do? She is a teenager after all. She needs five grand to finish, so donate here if you can.
Check out the trailer below and see how Hagins has done so far. Not bad for a teenager.

Recently, I had the chance to interview Emily Hagins director of My Sucky Teen Romance and films such as The Retelling and Pathogen. She has also written 4 films and directed 8 short films and is also a producer. She is the first teenage girl in the United States to direct a feature-length film!
Keep reading to get a glimpse into how the mind of such a young director works and learn why she has earned the nickname, "The movie girl".
You have written and directed all four of your films. Do you enjoy directing or writing more?
I really enjoy both, but I like directing a little more. I love the challenge of visual storytelling and figuring out what's needed to bring the pieces together.
How supportive are your family & friends with your filmmaking?
I'm very lucky to have such supportive family and friends. They've stayed with me through the fun and challenges of filmmaking,...

Emily Hagins is a bit of a horror enigma. At just twelve years old she created her first zombie film, Pathogen, which was the subject of a documentary about the making of that film called Zombie Girl: The Movie, and now she's back to create more gore-soaked havoc with My Sucky Teen Romance.
We first told you about this new vampire flick back in August, and a trailer has finally come our way. Here's the deal, though ... in order to finish the film, Emily (now 17) needs a paltry $5,000 more (donate here)! C'mon, folks, open up that purse and let's get this puppy made!

A great trailer for My Sucky Teen Romance premiered this weekend at Austin Comic-Con. The film is being directed by Emily Hagins, an 18 year old filmmaker who got her start when she was 12 years old, making the filmmaking documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie, which was her attempt at making a feature length Zombie flick.
Emily's new film is a teen vampire comedy, with a fun and interesting twist. Vampires in the real world are obsessed with fictional vampires. This looks like it has the makings of a very charming cult classic.
This is obviously an independent film, and Emily could use your help in getting it finished. She's asking for donations to complete post-production on the film this coming summer. She is looking to raise $5,500, and that money will cover the costs of editing, sound design, color correction, and a score. If you want to contribute go to IndieGogo.

There's plenty of stuff hitting DVD and Blu-ray today, some of it "game changing", and some of it not so much. The two major new releases this week are Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (trying to make up for its weak theatrical run) and Adam Sandler's Grown Ups (simply adding to its coffers), but we've also got Charlie St. Cloud starring Zac Efron, Beverly Cleary's Ramona and Beezus, and Love Ranch starring Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci. For the more adventurous, Criterion unleashes Lars Von Trier's controversial Antichrist on DVD and Blu-ray, and the large assortment of television releases include Season 1 of BBC's Sherlock, the third seasons of Californication, The Boondocks and Metalocalypse, and a 25th Anniversary Collection of The Golden Girls that comes in Sophia's purse!

Today is an excellent day for renting a Texas-filmed movie and kicking back at home to watch it. Of course, being Texans, this means we naturally all jump out of our pickup trucks (with gun racks), stride into our oversized ranch houses, barbecue an entire side of beef for a snack, kick off our cowboy boots and switch off the football game to watch a good old Western. Right?
Two movies out on DVD today are a great example that Texans and Texas filmmaking are not like that: Zombie Girl: The Movie, a documentary about a teenage girl in Austin who shoots a feature-length horror movie; and Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives, a mock-exploitation film about Dallas showgirls in trouble. We're a long way from Giant and J.R. Ewing.
I saw Zombie Girl at Fantastic Fest 2008, with the filmmakers, subjects, and just about everyone involved in the film hanging out somewhere in the theater.

Who doesn’t like a feel-good zombie story? Something where humans triumph over the walking dead would give you the warm fuzzies, wouldn’t it? It would be an especially good tale if the humans are a 12-year-old girl and her mother on the ride of their lives. This is one such story. At Comic-Con 2009, I did an interview for TheWrap with 17-year-old filmmaker Emily Hagins and her mother Megan about the documentary “Zombie Girl: The Movie.” It chronicles the making of the first feature-length film, “Pathogen,” Emily made as a mere pre-teen.

Low-budget horror flicks are as common as bedbug headlines these days, right? What's interesting about the documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie isn't the behind-the-scenes look at bargain basement filmmaking but rather the fact that the director is a twelve-year-old girl. Talk about starting young!
R Squared Films will be releasing this on DVD November 9th. Alongside the documentary on twelve-year-old director Emily Hagins and her first foray into feature films will be her actual zombie flick, Pathogen. Also included in the set will be a Q&A with the director and an interview with her regarding her next project.

By 2008, after three fantastic years (2005, 2006, 2007), Fantastic Fest was no longer a fledging fest. There were definitely growing pains as the fests popularity grows. And why wouldn't it? The fest was based at the best theater in the world with world-class cinema that was well, fantastic on so many levels.
My favorite part about 2008 was the special online screenings, with a mix of shorts and features available for online viewing through B-Side. It made it possible to see more films that I would have otherwise. I got to see the disturbingly entertaining documentary; I Think We're Alone Now, profiling two Tiffany stalkers. Yes, that Tiffany, and yes, it was a recent documentary.
I love the docs at Fantastic Fest, they're very interesting, and I hope to see more. That's not to slight the Austin-based documentary about our youngest auteur, Emily Hagins, Zombie Girl: The Movie. Emily is currently working on her third feature film,...

17-year-old director is back and kicking ass!
Budding filmmaker Emily Hagins (featured in Zombie Girl: The Movie) recently created an online campaign to help finance her latest project, the vampire teen comedy, My Sucky Teen Romance. Hagins apparently succeeded because a first-look photo, featuring special FX make-up work from Doug Field (All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, Machete) and Susan Benson, arrived online.
Nice work, Hagins! The now-17-year-old is currently shooting and is, you know, super excited about her latest movie, which follows a group of teens at a Twilight-ish convention where one of the friends is turned into an actual vampire. Hagins says these vamps won't be sparkling in the moonlight, however.
I’m really excited about this project. It’s the most professional crew I’ve ever worked with, which is enabling me to focus on getting great performances from the teen cast. I want the characters...

How many of you guys remember Emily Hagins, the twelve-year old who set out to make a zombie movie and as a result had a documentary made about her called Zombie Girl: The Movie? Well, she's back with a new flick, and we have the skinny for you!
"In a culture that is currently overrun with romanticized vampires, it is up to four geeky teenagers to defend their friend and beloved sci-fi convention from a group of very real, and very blood-thirsty, vampires." So reads the log line for the now seventeen-year-old filmmaker's latest foray into our genre. Check out the full synopsis and the first ever image from the flick below courtesy of /Film.

I have just been sent the first production photo from Emily Hagins' new movie, My Sucky Teen Romance, which is currently in production in Austin, Texas (wrap is scheduled for the beginning of September). Some of you might remember Emily from the popular filmmaking documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie, which Hagins attempt to film a feature length zombie movie at the age of only twelve years old. Emily is now 17 years old and for her third feature, she has chosen to script a teen comedy, but with vampires. Her latest effort has her biggest budget yet, and a number of local Austin professionals have stepped forward to help her achieve her vision on film. "I'm really excited about this project," said Hagins. "It's the most professional crew I've ever worked with, which is enabling me to focus on getting great performances from the teen cast." I think the concept...

Help Emily Hagins make another movie, you cheap prick!
Emily Hagins, the subject of the documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie (see the review here), made her first movie, the zombie movie Pathogen which is at the heart of Zombie Girl, at the ripe age of twelve. Hagins continued making movies with The Retelling, but in order for Hagins to make her next horror epic, My Sucky Teen Romance, Hagins needs to raise $8,000. Here's her video pitch for your hard-earned ducats.
Got hand it to Hagins: she is industrious. Would you like to donate? Doing so can get you a movie t-shirt, DVD, or a producer credit. Head here if you're interested in helping out in a truly independent effort.

The important thing to remember about Emily Hagins, the budding filmmaker at the center of the documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie (which has been playing the fest circuit for the last year or so), is that she’s a 12-year-old. A real 12-year-old, not a miniature adult of the type we’ve been conditioned to expect from the cinema, and that no doubt would have taken center stage if this were a calculated reality-tv program.

Everything changes, cities as well as relationships. That theme is underscored in Erik Mauck's latest film, Straight to the Bone, which premiered at the Austin Film Festival. Mauck's previous film, the Austin based documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie, played Fantastic Fest last year.
Living in Austin for any length of time eventually results in the lamentation of how much the city is changing, and as hard as change may be for some, growth is essential for every living organism or relationship. No longer a student, Shannon wants something more meaningful in her life, but her boyfriend Jay is content with the status quo. Happening upon an act of kindness makes it impossible for Shannon (River Gareth) to remain complacent. Blake (Ryan Edgerly), a stranger, makes her realize just what she's missing. Jay (Matt Thornton) doesn't take well to the notion that good enough isn't enough anymore, and after a...

The important thing to remember about Emily Hagins, the budding filmmaker at the center of the documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie (which has its New York City premiere tonight at 92YTribeca), is that she’s a 12-year-old. A real 12-year-old, not a miniature adult of the type we’ve been conditioned to expect from the cinema, and that no doubt would have taken center stage if this were a calculated reality-tv program.
In that type of show, Zombie Girl’s opening scene, in which Hagins appears confused by an interviewer’s query about how many shots she plans to do that day, might seem intended to mock her inexperience. But this much more empathetic portrait makes a different point: Emily is not so concerned with all the technical specifics that grown-up moviemakers busy themselves with; all she knows is that she wants to go out there and make her own zombie feature,...

This is a first for us at The Big Picture. We've shared the occasional Hulu movie or an old public domain flick from the 50s that's now on Google Video, but we've never had a new movie online in its entirety before.
Several months back, we shared with you the trailer for Zombie Girl: The Movie, a documentary about an independent filmmaker who at the time was 12 years old. Her name is Emily Hagins, and she's made a couple zombie movies now and this documentary has played at Slamdance, Comic Con, AFI Dallas and the HotDocs film festival.
We need to thank SnagFilms for giving you this great opportunity to watch Zombie Girl completely free here at The Big Picture. I understand you may not have 90 minutes to spend here right this second, but give it a look sometime this weekend, and I'll do the same; we'll post a review...

Last year at Fantastic Fest, I caught the premiere of Zombie Girl: The Movie, a documentary about Emily Hagins, a 12-year-old girl from Austin Texas who spent two years directing a feature-length zombie movie. Encouraged by her mother Megan, who produced, created the special effects and held the boom mic, Emily filmed the movie on weekends and school holidays. Emily is what you would expect from a director of her age: highly unorganized, unfocused and unable to communicate clearly. At one point she gives an actress the direction to "act sorta like yourself, except you're being chased by zombies." The film captures the magic and struggle of micro-budget indie filmmaking. But at it's core, it is a movie about a mother and a daughter who were brought together through the love of film and (insert over dramatic effect) almost torn apart due to the making of a film.

Every year in Toronto, the Hot Docs Film Festival [1] manages to assemble an exciting assortment of top-notch documentary films from around the world. This year was certainly no different, and a number of the movies have already picked up distribution deals and are well on their way to gaining mainstream attention. However, there are always plenty of diamonds in the rough as well, amazing films that sadly may never find the audience they deserve. So which upcoming documentaries are hits and which are near-misses? Read on for our full report from the 2009 Hot Docs Festival! Best Worst Movie When he was 11 years old, Michael Paul Stephenson was cast in a low budget horror movie called Troll 2. He, along with many of the other actors, thought that it would be their ticket to big time acting careers, but were shocked to find out afterward that the final product was a complete disaster.
