In this segment James and Terry speak with Andréa Winter and Patrick Von Barkenberg, the writers, lead actress, and director of the great new independent film "Blood Paradise" about the process of making the film.
Interview for Terror Weekend
Andréa Winter, an alumna of The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, was invited to speak on a panel at the 56th New York Film Festival.

Once more we take a creepy trip down Indie (Not major studio) Horror Hill. Beware of the dangers along the way or you might take a spill on a film can containing Director Patrick Van Barkenberg's BLOOD PARADISE. Fear not (or maybe you should if you are a jaded audience member) for this picture is the artfully funny, corpuscle spilling deal with a difference to be seen. The opening pseudo sadism attack handled wonderfully sets the film up.
