Horror films have always played a major role in my life. It’s my one true love that will never cease to entertain and comfort me when needed. The moment I fell in love with the genre I was standing in the horror section at an old video store with rare and exciting cover art. At the tender age of eight I decided I had to see every film on that wall and then some. At the age of 13 I learned how to use a computer and I began my own website where I mainly talked about horror news and reviewed all the films that nobody ever talks about. Eventually, I began reviewing horror novels for Joe Bob Brigg’s website. After that I wrote for other websites like horrornews.net I was given my own column that was titled “Horror Gossip” and I was titled Chief Reporter and Chief Interviewer. In 2009, Dai Green and I started THE GASH: WOMEN OF HORROR. It’s a podcast that has been quoted as, “The View with PMS.” We are still going today. I frequently partake in modeling, dance, and acting.

Q Looking at your bio, not only do you direct and produce films; you are also an accomplished actor and writer as well. Which one of these roles do you feel most passionate about?

A Definitely directing, and writing. My father, (S.F. Brownrigg) was a director and producer in the 70′s.

Q How did you get started?

A Because my father was a director, I grew up on film sets and dabbled in everything on them. My father directed “Don’t Look in the Basement”.

Q What drives you to the film biz? *Brownrigg answered with a big grin on his face*

A The film business is a disease: It’s like the plague! When you’re in the business, it’s in everything you do. It’s a passion.

Q What are some things in your life that are big motivators for you?

A My father is a a big motivator. Francis Coppola *Godfather* Stanley Kubrick, any good film maker: A good film maker is someone who’s work affects you. That can be anything: fear, happiness, sadness, any of the human emotions.

Q Tell me a little bit about your family.

A My mother was an actress. In fact, my father and mother met on a Larry Buchanan film called “The Naked Witch”. She played the naked witch and he was the sound man. My mother’s name at the time was Libby Hall. My wife’s name is Megan. She is also a writer and deals more in the novel/plot elements sort of thing. She writes with me on a lot of stuff. .

Q “Archaic Redemption” is your next film currently under production stages. Can you give me some insight into what this film is about?

A The idea for the film all started on an online social network called Second Life. On this network, there are about 4000 people that play a role playing game based upon a post apocalyptic world. The name of the world is Cola, which is short for City of Lost Angels (created by Suzanna Soyinka). In this world, all hell is broken loose: There’s a comet that came down called Wormwood; There are demons, angels, vampires, humans, the undead, werewolves, and the supernatural. All factions battle each other in the city. The undead faction is called Archaic Redemption (created by Tempest Ella).  It takes place in Necroville, where the undeads hang out. Unlike typical zombies, they know who they are and are fast thinkers. They do all the things zombies do, but they have names and lives and it’s very inspiring.

Q Who are the actors and actresses cast in “Archaic Redemption”?

A The movie is still being cast currently. A calendar is also in production. The calendar will have our undead characters displayed on it.  Brooke Lewis, who is a very big supporter of breast cancer research, came on board to play the head of the undead faction, Tempest Ella. Megan Miller is playing the role of Chasity, Keli Wolfe as Kaz, Camden Toy as Dr. Nash, Arianne Martin as Ava, and Tyler Tackett as Xan. All characters are based from Second Life. Everyone came on board without even seeing a script, so the script is being written around the game currently and the characters.

Q I understand that you are donating proceeds from “Archaic Redemption” calendar sales  to breast cancer research. That’s very generous of you! Why did you choose this particular charity?

A I chose it because it is a good cause, I have supported the cause before, and a member of my family has been diagnosed with breast cancer recently. So, the cause also hits a personal note for me.

Q What other projects are you working on?

A I am going to be directing a vampire film next year and working with Gabrielle Faust. I can’t give details yet, but it’s definitely an exciting project! Freeborn is another film I am working on. It’s a werewolf film based in Ireland, Dun Aengus. In Dun Aengus, there is an old fort that drops off a cliff. This spot is incredible and has inspired Freeborn… Also, the Guinness is awesome in Ireland!

Q Do you prefer the horror genre?

A Actually, I enjoy all movie genres. I made the film “Red Victoria” because I was bored. *Because of the confused look on my face at this point, Brownrigg went on to explain* ” I really wanted to do a comedy,  but a guy I knew convinced me to do a horror movie. Therefore, “Red Victoria” is a dark comedy. The movie is about a guy who doesn’t want to make a horror movie. I sat down and said I need a muse.  Victoria is my horror muse. The premise of the film is that she is there to guide him to create the story so that she can kill everyone at the end.”

Q Do you anticipate experimenting with any other genres in the future?

A Absolutely! I actually prefer interesting stories, no matter what the genre. I have a interest in science fiction comedies and romantic comedies. I prefer any genre that tells a good story.

Q Is there a particular genre you won’t do?

A I won’t do pornography. Clothes are too much fun.

Q What are your thoughts on the “Twilight” series out right now and the craze over it?

A “Twilight” isn’t necessarily my personal cup of tea. However, I will fully recognize the story has an audience. If a story has an audience, than it is a good story. *Brownrigg had me in tears with laughter with his next sentence*

“No zombies will sparkle in red in “Archaic Redemption” unless they are on fire.”

Q Do you spend most of your time in Dallas?

A I do. I travel to Los Angeles, but my home is here in Dallas.

Q What are a few of your all time favorite movies?

A “Manchurian Candidate” the original, and “Mean Streets” are two. I enjoy making horror movies more than I enjoy watching them. The reason is I have been in the industry so long, nothing scares me. But I do watch them, because I am a very big supporter of independent films. It’s a crazy business and anyone who has the guts to make a movie and has the passion to strive towards that goal has my respect.

Q Where can the public purchase and view your films?

A “Red Victoria” is out on Netflix, Amazon, Best Buy, and Blockbuster.

Q Years from now, what would you like to be remembered for in the movie biz?

A The funny thing is, I would rather have the films remembered more than me. I want to be proud of anything I do. And if the audience enjoys it and gets something from the film, that is what I would like to be remembered.

I’d like to thank Mr. Brownrigg for giving me the chance to interview him and get to know him better. Be sure to check out his films on Netflix or at your local Blockbuster! I am personally looking forward to “Freeborn”, as an occult fan myself. I will keep you updated as the movie release gets closer!

Brooke Lewis and ScreamTV founder Chris Yeary

This is a direct quote from Brooke from an email I received after she learned that she had won the award:

“I am honored and elated to announce that after being nominated for 2 B MOVIE GOLDEN COB AWARDS 2010 a few months back, I was just informed that I won the incredible title of:

BEST SCREAM QUEEN 2009

I want to THANK and acknowledge Bill Dever and the nominating committee for the B MOVIE GOLDEN COB AWARDS 2010, Greg Lamberson and the passionate cast and crew of SLIME CITY MASSACRE, the beautiful and talented horror/scifi actresses who were also nominated (especially Debbie Rochon, whom I admire greatly!) and all of you who continue to support me through this crazy career I love soooo much!!!

Love & Horror, Brooke Lewis” Congrats, Brooke on all you hard work!

“I am a photographer, independent filmmaker and all around artist with seven years of experience doing photography and artwork for metal and punk bands around North Carolina. A devoted horror fan and disciple of the macabre, I made my first short film in 2008 for the American Zombie Film Fest. I currently have three short film projects and two music videos in the works, as well as book of macabre and morbid photos.  Also in the works, a comic book built of photography and different mediums which will include works from other artists as well as my own. The goal with my art, regardless of the medium I use, is to shock and attract attention from the audience. Influenced from the filmmakers of the late 60′s through 80′s, I want to make films and art that is gritty and shocking like “Cannibal Holocaust”, “Last House On The Left”, “Friday The 13^th”, and the Romero films, but also with the scummy and dirty atmosphere of early exploitation films such as “Kill Baby Kill”, “Hells Angels On Wheels”, and “Ilsa: She Wolf Of The SS”.

My partner and I have always been horror fans, always asking for more gore and more violence. With our art and films we plan on leaving our audience not asking for more, but rather asking themselves, ”What just happened?” or “Is that legal ?”.  Either way, the audience will be assaulted with over the top gore and horror that will scar their memory and sanity.”
