Brad Weismann

As a film writer, Brad Weismann has interviewed figures ranging from Roger Ebert to Monty Python’s Terry Jones to Blaxploitation superstar Pam Grier, and legendary director Alex Cox. "Lost in the Dark: A World History of Horror" was his first book, and "Horror Unmasked: A History of Terror from 'Nosferatu' to 'Nope'" is his second. Several of his essays appear in the compendium "100 Years of Soviet Cinema". He was selected by the Library of Congress to contribute explanatory essays to its list of National Recording Registry entries. As a broadcaster and blogger, he has done everything from participating in the infamous no-budget amateur-film anthology TV series "Homemovies" to irritating Oliver Stone in front of a sold-out crowd. Weismann is an award-winning writer and editor who returned to the place he grew up, in the shadow of the Colorado Rockies, after 15 years of performing standup, improvisational, and sketch comedy on stage, radio, and television. He has worked as a journalist, feature writer, and contributor to publications and websites worldwide such as Senses of Cinema, Film International, Backstage, Muso, Parterre, Movie Habit, 5280, EnCompass, Colorado Daily, and Boulder Magazine.
