WDCB's Gary Zidek sits down with Music Box Theatre general manager Ryan Oestreich to talk about genre films and the second edition of Cinepocalypse.

"One of the unique aspects to going to a film festival is seeing something for the first time. So when you walk in, no one has talked to you about it. Right? You're taking a chance. That's a film festival, that's the mystique of it, the appeal."  - Ryan Oestreich Cinepocalypse's 9 world premieres.
