Roni Jonah, Fright Night's Ken Daniels, and Cow Tippers from outerspace

Roni Jonah

In this blog, you will meet more of the 'saucer oracle' Roni Jonah. A talented actress and filmmaker...she did a fantastic turn in the saucer sexodus trilogy (I'm currently working on the third and final film of that series). She is currently working on her first feature film as a director with feather italian films called 'The Zombie Movie'




question1
you're a model, actress, director, efx artist, etc...what interests you and brings you to a project? What projects or ideas interest you to bring to your own film projects?


I'm interested in doing things I've not done before. I'm drawn to things that are different. I'm not really partial to any one genre. I want to do everything. I tend to turn away things I've done, in favor of more variety.

Question 2
You have several films and projects with featheritalian films. How did that come about?


I met Jason in LA. He had started the company, but had only done a few short films. I pushed them to use their talent for bigger things. In the process I've learned a great deal.

Question 3
You're set to direct your first feature film, the zombie movie, where would someone would go to find out about the film? Did making shorts like Trepan fuel the hunger to make a feature?

I suppose so. I had the idea for TZM when I first met Jason, but we both felt we needed some practice. We made The Legacy, which helped a lot. And then Trepan, and several shorts after that. Making several things and working on other people's projects has really brought me a long way in learning what makes a successful feature.


Question 4
any stories you'd like to share about making films? Good, bad, and the plain insane?


I would say Hell House covers all of those things. Hell House is Jason's baby. We started shooting that several years ago and that film is cursed. There's been car wrecks, relationship disasters, death, terrible acting and, of course, it's been a location nightmare. If we can find just haunted attraction (that isn't run by some one shitty) that we can film at for a weekend, we will be wrapped on that thing.

Question 5
If someone wanted to know about you or feathered italian films..where would they go?

Ken Daniels of Fright Night Film Festival




Ken Daniels is the driving force of Fright Night Film Festival which is a big draw from around the country, and it is based out of Louisville Kentucky. As someone who has seen plenty of sci fi and horror films, I asked him several questions.

Tell us who you are?


I'm Ken Daniels Executive Producer of Fright Night Film Fest and FandomFest in Louisville, Kentucky. Co-Promoter of 3 other Conventions. Executive Producer of "The Lucky Break", Writer, Producer, Director of "The Blind Massuese". All around geek, good guy and friend to many.

What is the best sci in your opinion?


Depends, My favorite Sci-Fi Series of recent memory is Firefly. Joss Whedon's Space Western. I enjoy BBC Sci-Fi like Dr. Who, Torchwood and several others tremendously.

The worst?


Plan 9 from Outer Space by Ed Wood, but I also enjoyed it because it was so bad it was good.

Any films out of left field that got your attention?


"Harry Brown" with Michael Caine, "Cube" great little movie, "Primer" another low budget Sci-Fi that's very well done.

Any stories from film festival or movie productions would you like to share.

Shooting in 16 degree weather in February and leaning too close to a propane heater then catching my favorite jacket on fire. That was kind of cool. Having to evacuate our 2009 convention because one of our bands fog machine set off the overly sensitive fire alarm. Having an ambulance arrive the next day to treat one of our celebs. All in a day's work of a promoter/producer.
