Pod Mortum would like to thank Original Cinematic for sponsoring this week's episode.

Original Cinematic is an independent production company that has made at their mission

to create, produce, and promote films that are inclusive, honor women, promote the LGBTQIA-plus community,

and provide prominent positions and roles to POC actors and filmmakers,

and promote the films of marginalized and underrepresented

populations. These are all things that are extremely important to our podcast as well.

Original Cinematic is proud to be a WGA signatory company and they fully stand by the WGA,

SAG, and their members in their fight for extremely reasonable standards. Accordingly,

they are not accepting script or treatment submissions at this time, but both William and Zena

Rush are available via email free of charge to discuss writing and provide input and resources

to all aspiring writers. Their information will be made available in the show notes.

Ahead of the strike, William Rush has individually produced numerous projects,

including Coffee with Baba, Day By Day, They Slay, Before, Pack is Here, Abacue, the Winemaker,

and where do you draw the line?

Two feature films, Group and Immersion, are slated for release this fall.

Absolutely no picket lines will be crossed and no collective bargaining agreements will be

violated in the making of either of these films.

And very generously, Original Cinematic is providing all Podmortem patrons with a special link to view these films.

If arrangements can be made, they will even schedule a virtual or in-person screening for our patrons.

We cannot thank Original Cinematic enough for their contribution to our show and the horror community as a whole.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program. Salutations, welcome to podmortem.

I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez, joined as always by my co-host, my husband, and my brother.
