There’s never been a better time to make a movie yourself. Just ask John Homa, judge and acting coach on Scream Queens Season 2.
While giving an interview for the upcoming Scream Queens EPK (electronic press kit) John got a little side-tracked, and went into a topic he’s very passionate about: taking responsibility for your own Hollywood Success.
In short, don’t complain about not making movies…just go make a movie!
Here’s John getting all worked up:
If you missed it, be sure to check out this blog post on Dread Central about Scream Queens Season 2.
When places like Dread Central or FEARnet (one of the first horror community sites to support our show) take the time to cover Scream Queens it’s a big deal for us. All we’ve ever wanted to do with this show is help truly great, undiscovered actresses celebrate the horror genre.
Not everyone will love Scream Queens, or any of our work, for that matter. That’s part of this career. We get some love, we get some hate, we get some indifference. At the end of the day, all we can do make a show we’re proud of, Lionsgate is happy with, and VH1 wants to air.
Still, it means a lot when a place like Dread Central says about us (Joke, in this case)
…whose passion for the project is apparent – there’s no sense on set that the genre is being exploited…
This show’s never been about using horror as a doormat for wannabe starlets, but rather about pointing out that carrying a horror movie is one of the most difficult acting jobs on earth.
We take pride in working to give our potential Scream Queens an accurate idea of what it would be like to work in the horror genre–with no sugar coating.
Thanks for taking a minute to celebrate with us. Upcoming blog posts and tweets will be full of useful tips, behind the scenes videos, and all sorts of gossip from behind the scenes of Scream Queens Season 2.
Almost half-way though the filming of Scream Queens Season 2. We love this show. We love our cast. We have no time for anything else…yet.
We hoped to tweet and blog more from set. Of course, that’s hard to do when there’s no time to eat or sleep, much less share funny tidbits of life from set. But, rest assured, come December 21, we’ve got lots of great behind the scenes footage, stills, and stories coming your way.
We hope you can learn from our mistakes, steal from our successes, and use this blog to help you achieve your own Hollywood dream, whatever that is for you.
Got questions? We got answers. (Just might take a minute to get back to you!)

About to roll on John Homa’s acting class. Ladies don’t know what’s going to hit them tonight! See you back here soon.
Well, if any of you follow James Gunn’s blog, you already know, much to our deep sadness, he won’t be coming back for this season of Scream Queens. He’ll be off directing his movie SUPER, with great cast members like Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, and of course, Michael Rooker.
Apparently, Rainn Wilson will be wielding a fire-arm in this movie! So who better to teach him to shoot than everyone’s favorite tough guy, Michael Rooker–who actually OWNS a shooting range. (Yes, the guy who starred in Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer owns a shooting range. What can we say?)
So Mr. Gunn, as a going away present, here’s a little viral video for your new movie, SUPER. Filmed by Michael Rooker and Rainn Wilson themselves, and edited by our own Caleb Emerson, we present you with:
The other day, we received a question from Sean Duran (on Twitter as @esotericsean.) Make movies? Dreaming about it? Well, in part one of this two part series, we broke down how we launched our production company.
Today, we look at the second part of Sean’s question:
Our passion is short films and we hope to eventually evolve into doing features. We quit our day jobs and are now attempting to shoot actor demo reels and music videos, but it’s tough.
Sean, like many filmmakers, needs a plan to break into feature filmmaking. We’re going to share super-cool, high-powered, proven methods to give anyone–including you–the best odds of using a short film to launch big screen success.
