I'll tell you what I'm hungry for, a screenwriting conversation about cannibalism. Howdy? I'm Jeff Goldsmith,

and this is the Q&A. My agenda is simple. Each week, I plan to bring you in-depth insight into the

creative process of storytelling. And folks, I'm quite pleased to have with me today,

screenwriter David Kajinich about his latest film, Bones and All. And you know, if you have not yet seen Bones and all, you could rent it.

It's on VOD, and I highly recommend that you do.

I've always been a fan of Gothic horror, and we talk about other Gothic horror films.

And essentially, and I don't think it's a spoiler, the concept of cannibalism here,

going on, there's actually a lack of rules. And our protagonist has to go through a trial by

fire to just understand more about herself and her world. And our protagonist has to go through a trial by fire to just understand more

about horror writing, exposition, and yeah, of course, a little bit of cannibalism as well. And I'm

really glad that we were able to make this episode happen because I really dig bones and all.

Without a doubt, David was very forthcoming about his creative process, so I know you'll dig this episode.

And speaking of things to dig, Backstory Magazine just turned 10.
