Oz Rodriguez is a writer and director who started his career in comedy, having written and directed for Funny or Die and Saturday Night Live, where he’s been for multiple years. Oz just put out his very first feature, Vampires vs. The Bronx, now streaming on Netflix. Vampires vs. the Bronx pits a group of young kids from the Bronx against a ruthless gang of vampires who try to take over their neighborhood. It’s super fun and scary while also delivering highly potent commentary on the devastating effects of gentrification.
Vampires vs. the Bronx really reminded me of the movies that I grew up on as a kid, and I know for a fact that this is about to become a gateway horror staple for this generation. I really loved his movie and really enjoyed talking to him -- please give it up for writer/director Oz Rodriguez.
Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Oz Rodriguez.
Thanks for listening!!!
