They Knew It Worked When Two People Threw Up

Fantastic Fest is the week Paul Salfen treats like Christmas, and James Cullen Bressack has been trying to get into that room since he was eighteen. Fifteen years and one action movie later, he is back in Austin with I Have Proof, a 77-minute VHS horror he wrote and directed, and the first horror title he has brought to the festival. With lead and director of photography Larsen Deane, Lilly Van der Meer, and B.J. Hendricks, he talks about a crew of five, a camcorder, a Mother’s Day cover story, and the scene that only counted as a success once two people got sick.
