We had the privilege of interviewing Jeffrey Gunn, writer and director of "Money By Sundown". There’s something special about seeing a film come to life on screen—and then hearing directly from the people who made it happen.

The conversations, the insight, the connection… it’s what makes being in the room so powerful.

This is why festivals like Reedy Reels matter.

And we’re just getting started. ✨

Horror. Thriller. And the stories behind the stories. 👀

We just wrapped the Horror & Thriller Film Block—and the energy in the room was 🔥

Each director took the stage to talk about their film…
Not just what you saw on screen, but the why, the process—what they really needed more of (and it wasn’t just $$ or time)…and the moments that almost didn’t make it. Natural disasters.
Oh—and have enough B-roll. Always. 😅

From eerie concepts to edge-of-your-seat storytelling, this block delivered on every level.
But hearing directly from the creators? That made it hit even harder.

This is exactly why you don’t just watch… you show up.

More conversations, more films, more moments still to come.
Stay tuned—this weekend is just getting started. 🎥✨

Opening night at Reedy Reels 🎬

The arrivals. The anticipation.
A room filled with filmmakers, actors, and creatives from all over—each bringing their own story.

Conversations that spark something bigger.
Moments of laughter, connection, and that shared understanding of why we do this.

This is the kind of space where inspiration happens in real time. Where you meet the people you didn’t know you needed in your creative life.

And this was just the beginning.

If you’ve never experienced it—next time, be in the room.
