(Blind Filmmaker's Feature to debut cont.)
“Having written the screenplay for the first Flowers on the Razorwire episode, I was very familiar with the way Hart envisioned a full-on TV series,” says Monks.
“So when I wrote The Bunker, I saw it taking the series to its natural next-plateau, which was a feature. Like the Tales from the Crypt: Demon Night film, it made all the sense in the world. Helming it myself might not have, but directing it was a challenge too good to pass up.”
While the film initially drew interest as a curiosity, it's turned heads after several screenings, receiving praise from the likes of FANGORIA's Tom Carnell, Rue Morgue, The Hacker's Source and the Miami Herald, among others. A premier selection of the 2007 Halloween Horror Picture Show film festival, Monks is happy that the film has been able to stand on its own.
“The curiosity angle is nice, but now that the film is making the rounds as we look for a distribution deal and the reception it's gotten has been so positive, this opportunity to showcase it to such a large audience is more than I could have hoped for. I'm excited about working with Hart on other episodes for the series. We've been in the indie trenches together a long time, so what better way to make a splash than on Indiepix?” said Mr. Monks.
Broadcasting executive and founder Carol Davis says, “As we build and brand our thematic channels we are very careful about the companies we allow to program content. Hart D. Fisher presents very unique products that are naturals for compelling content.”

(Fisher & Danzig -Together Again cont.)
Written and directed by Danzig, “She Only Likes Men” is the first in a planned series of adaptations taken from the pages of VEROTIKA, one of the most outrageous horror anthology comics to ever hit the stands. “I’m pretty damn excited about working with Glenn again.” Said Mr. Fisher. “The last time we worked together we shook the entire comics publishing industry with “A Taste of Cherry.” Now that we’re working together in the motion picture industry, I see no reason why we won’t have even more of an impact.”
Glenn Danzig is an American singer, songwriter, musician, entrepreneur and a progenitor of the Horrorpunk genre of music. He is the founder of bands The Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig. He also owns the Evilive record label and Verotik, an adult-oriented comic book publishing company.

Hart D.

There is precious little that outlaw filmmaker Hart D. Fisher hasn’t accomplished.
He is a successful horror author, a critically acclaimed poet (Poems for the Dead), a savage spoken word performer and a sharp new voice now lending his unique talents to the world of music videos, having directed cutting edge videos for international death metal legends Obituary and kings of black metal Dark Funeral. His first feature, The Garbage Man, has been an official selection of film festivals around the world and garnered the creator rave reviews, including praise from the likes of FANGORIA’s Tony Timpone and Rue Morgue Magazine.
Recently, Mr. Fisher has tackled what some would have believed impossible: Co-producing and editing the critically acclaimed horror/thriller The Bunker. Why is that special? The Bunker is the first feature film written and directed by a blind director, Joseph M. Monks, but doing the unexpected is nothing new for Fisher, who has had projects in development at Dreamworks Pictures, Dimension Films and The Shooting Gallery, among others.
With a long and controversial career which began in comic books, where Fisher discovered such talents as Gerard Way (lead singer for the chart-topping rock band My Chemical Romance); John Cassaday (Captain America) and political essayist Stephen Elliot (a regular contributor for the San Francisco Chronicle, award-winning novelist and child protection advocate) among others, Fisher carved out a fierce reputation and was dubbed ‘The Most Dangerous Man in Comics.’ (Hero Illustrated, 1994.)
Fisher’s opinions on serial killers and serial killer culture have been sought by numerous television producers for programs such as ABC's DayOne, CNN's Murder By Numbers documentary, Entertainment Tonight, Larry King Live, The Jerry Springer Show, The Bertice Berry Show, CNN Headline News, A&E's Biography, and in magazines such as Time, Tattoo Savage, Hero Illustrated, People, The Comics Journal, the non-fiction best seller The A-Z Guide to Serial Killers and many more.
Fisher began his art career as the publisher behind Boneyard Press, a ferociously independent publishing house that has garnered coverage all over the world, in Japan (Words), Germany (Ego Magazine), England (The Sun) and brought the mass media (as well as protest marchers) to his door thanks to books such as Jeffrey Dahmer: An Unauthorized Biography of a Serial Killer, OJ's Big Bust Out, Rush Limbaugh Must Die, Dark Angel and Howard Stern Vs. Rush Limbaugh. Fisher's two collections of poetry, (Poems for the Dead & Still Dead) have been lauded in Wicked Mystic, Carpe Noctem, and Dark's Art Parlor to name but a few. His work has been called relentless and heart wrenching.
Twice, Hero Illustrated placed Mr. Fisher in their 100 Most Important People In The Comics Industry list, and rock star Glenn Danzig hired Fisher to be the managing editor for his publishing company, Verotik. Fisher’s story for Verotika #4, “A Taste of Cherry” has the notorious distinction of being banned in Oklahoma on the grounds that it was obscene material and is banned in that state to this day. Never one to shy away from outrageous showmanship, Fisher has faked his own death, spit in the eye of industry goliath Marvel Comics (at the largest comic convention in America Fisher printed up hundreds of black t-shirts proclaiming that “Marvel Can Suck My Cock”-- The shirts sold out instantly and dogged the larger comics publisher at comics conventions for years after) and has proven he has a gift for stirring up controversy that sells his products by the truckload.
In addition to co-producing and editing The Bunker, writing and directing the anthology film series Flowers on the Razorwire, running his post production house Crime Pays Inc. and supervising the translation of Poems For The Dead into Portuguese (being handled by Moonspell front man Fernando Riberio), Fisher has been a featured speaker around the world including as a speaker at the Festival of Fantasy & Terror in Mexico City, where he was among a group of writers featured in a series of college lectures held in Tlaxcala, Mexico.
