Roxanne Benjamin Interview: Body at Brighton Rock

If you're looking to check out work from a rising voice in the horror community who's making some very big moves right now, look no further than Roxanne Benjamin. She's been making her mark on the genre for a while now, having produced a number of projects, including the V/H/S series, and also having directed segments in both Southbound and XX. Body at Brighton Rock, however, is a pretty big milestone for Benjamin because that film marks her feature debut as a director.

It stars Karina Fontes as Wendy, a part-time employee at a state park. She isn't really the outdoorsy type and is severely undertrained compared to her friends, but Wendy is determined to prove them wrong so agrees to take on a more challenging trail assignment. Sure enough though, Wendy gets lost and not only does she wind up out in the backcountry all alone, but she also happens upon a dead body deep in the woods.

Benjamin celebrated the world premiere of Body at Brighton rock back in March at SXSW, but now that the film is making its way to theaters and On Demand on April 26th, I can finally share my conversation with Benjamin at the festival! We covered everything from the challenges of getting a first feature off the ground to making a movie out in the woods, the status of her Night of the Comet remake script, her hopes for the future of the horror genre, and so much more. You can check it all out in this video interview!
