Hey Reader!
Last night's episode is one I am still grinning about.
My guest was Sabrina Mendoza, filmmaker, editor, and the self-described "Editing Gremlin" of Troma Entertainment. She is the editor and assistant director on Lloyd Kaufman's first film noir, The Power of Positive Murder, and she runs the Tromadance Film Festival. Lloyd has called her the next big thing. After last night, you understand why.
A Queens kid who taught herself film through her dad's DVDs and the discovery of The Toxic Avenger on early Netflix, Sabrina has built a career on doing the work where she is, with what she has, alongside the people who show up. We talked about her two years editing in the coldest room at Troma, the moment Lloyd asked her to make this baby with him, Tromadance, Tromathon at the Mahoning Drive-In, her own short films, and the Edgar Allan Poe anthology Lloyd has now blessed her to direct. If you have a camera, an idea, and no permission, she has a message for you.
