We had a chance to interview San Francisco Bay Area local indie
director *Sebastian Corbascio*.
Sebastian is an established filmmaker working on a very
important film titled *Sarah Luger* about a teen murdered on her front doorstep in a quiet, quaint little town. The murder is tied to an all-girls high school society who call themselves *The Legionaires*.
Sebastian was kind enough to agree to an interview about the project, his aspirations for the film, and of course, his favorite* Horror, Cult, and Exploitation flicks!*
Ray Of The Dead (RotD): Sarah Luger centers on a young girl murdered on her front doorstep by a supposed notorious “society”. The premise is almost shockingly pulled straight from newspaper headlines. How much of an inspiration did you cull from school violence in the media? What was your initial influence for this forthcoming film?
Sebastian Corbascio (Sc): It’s difficult to remember...

While the Material Girl gets back to single life, her brother is getting ready for the big screen. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone will make his feature directorial debut with a new teen thriller called Twist. The script was written by Jay Milner and Karyn Milner, and while no plot details are being released, you can get a taste of the stories they write by clicking on their names -- it's the usual fish-out-of-water stories with strange and dangerous twists. Considering the name of this project, I think it's safe to say that this will be no different.
THR also reports that Maurice Kanbar (Hoodwinked producer) is gearing up for an indie with Daphne Zuniga called The Scene. Aside from reliving her days as Princess Vespa, Zuniga is producing and starring in the black comedy, which is adapted from Theresa Rebeck's (Gossip) play about the...
