You are listening to The Next Best Picture podcast and this is Giovanni Lago's interview with the director and writer for Shelby Oaks, Chris Stuckman.

Why didn't you give it to the police?

I needed to see it for myself.

I was going to see it for myself. Riley Brennan is now missing.

She was last seen in Shelby Oaks.

There is a dark and deeply haunted history

in the woods of Shelby Oaks. My sister isn't the first to go missing.

What's left in Shelby Oaks is death and rocked. Hello everyone. This is the Next Best Picture podcast.

I'm Giovanni Lago.

And today I am joined by the writer, director, producer of Shelby Oaks, Chris Stockman.

Chris, thank you so much for joining.

Thank you, Giovanni.

I appreciate it.

I'm a little bit starstruck here in a way where I grew up watching your videos and now I

find myself on this side

working as a critic. And now as someone who has made a career of being a critic, now you're on

the other side as a filmmaker, finally with the debut. You've talked about a lot of how this has been a

dream of yours for forever. And you've had a very successful

YouTube career. You know, you could have kept going with it. I'm very curious in terms of your

mindset, when did the paradigm shift of, I love what I'm doing. I've been wanting to make movies,

but now it's the time that I have to do this before it's too late. When did that just click for you? Thank you, first off, for watching for all that time. I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. I think, like you said, it's always been the goal. Filmmaking has always been the goal. It's how I started as a kid. It's how I first discovered my love of movies was making them in my backyard with my friends.

This camcorder behind me, we shot a lot of the paranormal paranoids episodes on.
