    Nov 4 2024
    A few years ago, Dave McRae and Bruce Dale released “It’s Me, Billy” — an impressive fan film which serves as an unofficial sequel to “Black Christmas” (1974). And just last month, they released “It’s Me, Billy Chapter 2,” bringing back the character of Jess Bradford while featuring original “Black Christmas” star, Lynne Griffin. Tune in to hear all about making both fan films, how Olivia Hussey was initially set to star in “Chapter 2” and why she had to leave the project, and what’s next for these two independent filmmakers.
