CREATORS UNITE 10 EDITOR’S LETTER We are delighted to present CREATORS UNITE #10: THE ESSENTIAL ISSUE, featuring exclusive interviews with Kelli Maroney, Lloyd Kaufman, Luigi Cozzi, and Kurando Mitsutake. Kelli Maroney, the highly respected actress that many of us have admired for decades, is without a doubt, an exceptional woman who is loved by all. We invite you to join us in getting to know her. Lloyd Kaufman, the creator of TROMA ENTERTAINMENT is the ultimate reference for filmmakers and independent creators. Lloyd’s influence cannot be ignored as the TROMA culture have permeated spirits in a profound and lasting way. We had the privilege of interviewing Lloyd, both in English and French (which he speaks without an accent). Check out our Masters at Work to learn more about Lloyd! Luigi Cozzi, known for his films Starcrash, Hercules, and Contamination, is one of those iconic artists, who continues to create essential work against all odds. We met him in Rome at the PROFONDO ROSSO store, which he co-founded with Dario Argento. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into his world. We also had the pleasure of interviewing Kurando Mitsutake, whose fascinating work restores a sense of prestige to cinematic art. Mitsutake's approach, both in substance and form, is a captivating blend of violence and aesthetics. His work is truly outstanding and transcendent. To mark the release of our 10th magazine (and 28th publication), we bring you this special "best of" issue, dedicated to four exceptional artists, featuring exclusive interviews with each of them. We hope you enjoy reading CREATORS UNITE #10 as much as we enjoyed creating it. THE ESSENTIAL ISSUE is available in digital and print formats (limited edition prints). You can find the e-book version on Issuu and hard cover books on Peecho. A soft-cover magazine in four parts (each dedicated to a specific star) is also available on Issuu and Peecho.

Kelli Maroney
by Christopher Zisi 1984! Some of us remember that year well. World superpowers seemed headed toward “Mutual Assured Destruction.” The possibility of nuclear war affected the consciousness of every college aged schmuck (which I was one). The possibility of the world coming to an end permeated every intellectual discussion as Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev repeatedly failed to decrease the nuclear stockpiles. That same year, a cult classic hit the silver screen. The not so epic Night of the Comet told the story of the end of the world. The joke was on all of us, as nuclear winter didn’t factor into the equation. On the surface, Night of the Comet seemed to mesh two plots. High schoolers coming of age mixed with the apocalypse. Was mankind worth saving? Government henchwoman Audrey (Mary Woronov) didn’t believe so and set out to euthanize perky blonde high school cheerleader Samantha (Kelli Maroney). Ditzy, shallow, and materialistic Samantha seemed to symbolize the futility of 1980s youth and their inability to carry on a civilized culture and society. Ah, but wait! Audrey looks closer and sees something else.

Optimism, trust, and the ability to make lemon-ade out of lemons. Yes, a closer look at the sultry cheerleader suggested that Samantha is exactly who we want to help construct a society in which all peoples need to love and coexist. Sure, Samantha’s proclivity to use an Uzi is quite alluring and not a bad plot device, still, her smile and sex appeal could prove to be quite inspiring. When leaders, technology, and normative social structure have failed planet Earth, Samantha and her buddies may be the perfect combo to begin it all again. With a pom-pom in one hand, a machine-gun in the other, perhaps Samantha is a perfect metaphor for what it takes for a pretty lady to succeed for decades in a misogynistic film industry. Before Alice in Resident Evil and Selene in Underworld, the babes of horror were portrayed as meek and merely pretty faces that just so happened to survive occasionally. In reality, Kelli Maroney beat both Kate Beckinsale and Milla Jovovich to the punch. Sure, her portrayal of the ditzy but feisty Samantha (and also Alison in Chopping Mall) gave a very masculine audience characters that seemed to feed male stereotypes of young ladies. In reality, Alison and Samantha (as portrayed by Ms. Maroney), were energetic, resourceful, strong, and very capable of overcoming evil, killing monsters, and saving the masses. As more and more stories in today’s news highlight the predatory nature of a male dominated Hollywood, Kelli Maroney’s endurance is a testament to her strength and smarts in the entertainment industry. Even more important than the initial impression we draw of either Samantha or Alison, is what those two Maroney characters evolve into before the end of the films.

Exclusive Interview with Kelli Maroney by Laura MacLeod & Christopher Zisi
ThE WEb Talk Laura MacLeod: How did you get your start in the business? Kelli Maroney: I was planning to attend a conservatory school in NYC and arrived with $500 to my name and nowhere to live. While looking for a roommate situation, the woman who ran the service suggested that I speak to her friend, who was an agent. There had been a national search for a teenage actress to play the part of a “Midwestern Lolita” on the ABC Daytime drama, Ryan’s Hope. I had one photograph of myself, and the agent told me to slide it under the casting director’s door. I was called in, auditioned and was cast in the role. What a crazy show business story, right?! After all this time I still can’t get over my good fortune. Laura MacLeod: What most made you want to get into acting? Kelli Maroney: When I was little, I remember that the thing that made my mother seem the happiest was when we were watching old movies on TV. THE ESSENTIAL ISSUE

CREATORS UNITE 10 WEBTALK I wanted to be part of the thing that made her light up. Passions and emotions were expressed in films and on TV that didn’t seem appropriate for people to have in “real life” and I wanted to be part of that. Laura MacLeod: What surprised you the most about acting? Kelli Maroney: Firstly, I think how intimate and safe it felt to play a scene and be fully immersed in it. It’s like the rest of the world fades away and it’s just you and whomever is in the scene with you, and the director. Secondly, I never thought of acting as being my business! An actor is really a sole proprietor of their own company, but no one had ever told me anything like that, so it’s only somewhat recently that I began thinking of it this way. Actors and artists aren’t famous for their business savvy, so we need to learn this stuff. Laura MacLeod: Have you had a particular role model or mentor who has been an inspiration to you? If so, how has that person affected your life and work? Kelli Maroney: The actress who played my mom on the soap, Louise Shaffer, was kind to me and taught me everything she knew about surviving on a Daytime drama, where you’re expected to cry on cue, never stop tape for any reason, etc. I’d never have gotten up to speed fast enough otherwise. I owe her everything. I also used to have a coach, Roy London, who was a genius. He passed away years ago and I’m still looking for another coach like him. Laura MacLeod: Tell us about a favorite role or project of yours. What made it fun, enlightening, scary or otherwise memorable? Kelli Maroney: You know, each role is fun, enlightening, scary and memorable! THE ESSENTIAL ISSUE

CREATORS UNITE 10 WEBTALK The soap was my first job in NYC, Fast Times brought me to Los Angeles, Night of the Comet changed my career, Face Down was the best written, flashiest role I have ever played. She was a schizophrenic. I thought it might be challenging to get it right, but found it was very easy and comfortable. I love my entire career. Laura MacLeod: How has being a woman made your career more challenging? Kelli Maroney: With all the women coming forward and speaking up about sexual harassment, it’s obvious that it’s a huge issue in my industry, but also in every industry. I quickly learned ways of dodging it: Never be alone with these guys, and cut off any discussion with, “Great, thank you! Please call my agent and set it up.” I developed a tough sarcasm that I learned from Mae West and Bette Davis films and that tends to be a buzzkill for these guys. And I didn’t immediately realize how limited women’s roles could be because I was fortunate to get fantastic leading roles where I was a badass. Then in the 90s I saw that my choices were “victim” or “girlfriend.” Yuck. I’m a character actress so I wasn’t going to get cast in those girlfriend roles, and the whole victim thing I found so depressing that after a couple of those roles I felt like I didn’t even want to do this anymore, if I had to play those victim-y parts. One or two, okay, but that’s all that was out there for me, it seemed. It’s so against my brand. People know me as the one who survives. Laura MacLeod: What's been your best day of work so far?

CREATORS UNITE 10 WEBTALK Kelli Maroney: The best day of work is when you first get a role. That first day on set is like the first day of school. I remember the first time I was able to cry on cue on Ryan’s Hope. That was big for me because if you couldn’t do that they would probably get rid of you! I just love it on a film when the work is going well and everyone seems in sync, from the crew to the actors, directors, craft services, the grips—it is a mutual respect, love, and mutual admiration society. Laura MacLeod: What's been your worst day of work so far? Kelli Maroney: Every time we wrap a movie or I get wrapped on a TV show, I feel like it’s a death! I walk around set all needy, not wanting it to be over and not wanting to say goodbye to anyone! Well, maybe not exactly that needy, but I do feel very sad and make sure I know how to stay in touch with everyone. I think many actors feel this way. Laura MacLeod: Who have you most enjoyed working with and why? Kelli Maroney: As I mentioned, Louise Shaffer and Roy London, but additionally I loved working with Joan Fontaine, who played my agent on Ryan’s Hope. I loved working with Catherine Mary Stewart on NOTC (Night of the Comet, Ed.) and Barbara Crampton on Chopping Mall and made two lifelong friends. Once I’ve done a movie or TV show with people they become like family in my mind. I’ve been lucky enough to have been thrown in with some remarkably talented and kind artists. I loved working with Joe Mantegna, Peter Riegert, and of course, the wonderful Adam Ant in Face Down. I love Thom Eberhardt and have done two films with him now, and I enjoy working with Jim Wynorski, although he yells a lot on set.

CREATORS UNITE 10 WEBTALK He is just 1000% committed and wants everyone else to be on point, too. He is hilarious, and I have fun working with him. There are so many other people who have helped me and touched me throughout my career that I’m not going to be able to mention everyone, and I hate knowing that I’m forgetting to mention people. Laura MacLeod: Who would you want to work with? What sort of role would you play? Kelli Maroney: How about Tarantino? He takes actors and brings them into the present, like John Travolta, Robert Forster, Pam Grier, many more. And I would want to play a badass character who lives. I’d also like to do other films with Barbara Crampton, Catherine Mary Stewart, Thom Eberhardt, people I’ve already mentioned whom I’ve worked with and love. Also, there is a lot of brilliant talent coming up now in the horror and independent genres that I’m excited to work with, too. There has been a shift back to story and character, and I love that. There is a whole new energy that I feel happening now. Christopher Zisi: To Avenge is one of your latest projects... this looks like a fantastic film. A babe with a big knife seeking revenge... can you tell us anything about this one and the character of Abigail? You can be sure I will have it up on my blog as soon as it comes out. Kelli Maroney: Well, thank you! It's a revenge film with supernatural elements, and it explores the concept and emotions of revenge from many points of view. It pulls no punches and will likely be quite controversial.

CREATORS UNITE 10 WEBTALK My character, Abigail, is the mother of the accused. She grew up a contemporary of the girl's mother but worked her way up the social ladder to the very top and is now married to an uber-wealthy, handsome, upper-class, very powerful man. They call all the shots in their community. Her son is a golden boy with a dazzling future ahead of him and there is no way on earth Abigail will let anything interfere with that, no matter what he's accused of, or may or may not have done, and she'll be ruthless about it. I can't wait to shoot in Abigail's mansion. Our location is a summer resort type of place so we will shoot on their off-season, when the pandemic and the financing allow, of course. Christopher Zisi: Your role as Meredith in Face Down shows us a different Kelli Maroney than the one that instantly comes to mind. Kelli Maroney, the perky cheerleader or teen mall babe from the 80s is the Kelli many of us fell in love with. A decade later, your Meredith in Face Down is a sultry femme fatale right out of a film noir movie. Meredith is seductive, dangerous, and in control. She is a mastermind within a toxic relationship. Tell us about your thought process in helping to create Meredith, our femme fatale. Did you draw any inspiration from the blonde sirens of the 40s and 50s such as Veronica Lake or Lana Turner? Kelli Maroney: In the sense that I grew up loving those movies, of course. I remember telling my coach that I was going to work on talking like they did in movies in the 30s and 40s and he said, "What do you mean? You already talk like that!" I suppose I was really immersed in those films.

CREATORS UNITE 10 WEBTALK My only direction from the writer/director, Thom Eberhardt, for the Meredith character was, "Don't smile. you make everything okay when you smile. Meredith never smiles." And as simple of a direction as that was, it really gave me everything I needed for the character. Laura MacLeod: What is your ideal project? Kelli Maroney: A wonderful, well-written script that is moving and a story that just insists upon being told, a visionary director and cast who are passionate about the material, a director of photography with a great eye, beautiful lighting and sound, and an unlimited budget! Laura MacLeod: How do you want to be remembered in 50 years? Kelli Maroney: As someone who encouraged others to love, appreciate and believe in themselves, and dare to stretch and make their best dreams become reality. And as someone who always raised the vibe, made it comfortable for everyone to be their true selves, have fun, and create with abandon. I guess I really am cheerleader of sorts, after all!

THE ZERO BOYS
The Zero Boys, The Sultry Kelly Maroney Dodges Crossbows and Machetes The Zero Boys (1986) 1h 29m. Writers: Robert Gilliam, Nico Mastorakis, Fred Perry. Director: Nico Mastorakis. Stars: Daniel Hirsch, Kelli Maroney, Nicole Rio...
Review by Christopher Zisi
Growing up in the 80s meant one thing... Kelli Maroney was your fantasy girlfriend. The nubile and perky blonde Uzi wielding cheerleader was everything a teen boy could desire. Cult favorites like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Night of the Comet left us teens breathless and desiring... at least in out fantasy worlds. The thought anyone could seek to rip her apart with a machete or impale her using a crossbow would've been too horrifying to imagine. Hence 1986's The Zero Boys, directed by Nico Mastorakis is our feature today. Three hunks, Steve (Daniel Hirsch), Rip (Jared Moses), and Larry (Tom Shell) have just beaten some neo Nazis at a survival game championship. Good news for Steve... he wagered the lead neo Nazi and the winner gets Jamie (Maroney). Uh oh... this is news to Jamie and she ends up in the trio's car along with two more babes, Trish (Crystal Carson) and Sue (Nicole Rio). As the three babes bicker and Jamie keeps looking put off by her new brute date, the six head deep in the wilderness. Uh oh... Jamie sees a naked babe running for her life. The gang pulls over... bad move... to investigate. THE ESSENTIAL ISSUE

CREATORS UNITE 10 SHOWROOM A storm arises and the six find shelter holed up in an apparently empty cabin. Weird things begin happening and Trish sees someone peering at her and Larry during pre-marital sex. Now the hunks investigate the property and find a makeshift torture chamber next door where snuff films are made. Uh oh... Trish is seized by a fiend hiding in the bathtub. Now Trish is tortured, humiliated, and prepped to be a star in the next snuff film. The guys man up and grab weapons and act macho. The gals bicker and scream at every corpse that pops up... women! The bad guys also have weapons... crossbows and machetes. The guys concoct a bad escape plan which the fiendish hunters were banking on. Boobie traps... explosives... electricity... arrows... and machineguns will rule the second half of the film. The trio of babes will look wonderful as they are afraid and beset. The deaths will be excruciating... you'll see. Do any of the hunks and babes have what it takes to survive this wilderness game of life and death? Will Kelli Maroney's charm and sex appeal pull her out of this mess? Just who are these fiendish backwoods snuff film makers? This film will remind you of one of the Friday the 13th sequels and Deliverance. For some neat 1980s slasher fare featuring the nubile Kelli Maroney... see The Zero Boys. Christopher Zisi

THE DEEP ONES
The Deep Ones (2020) 1h 23m. Writer & Director: Chad Ferrin. based on stories by H.P. Lovecraft. Stars: Kelli Maroney, Gina La Piana, Robert Miano...
Review by Matthew Kirshenblatt
The Deep Ones is the addition of a fascinating character named Ambrose Zadok. This is the female analogue to Zadok Allen from The Shadow Over Innsmouth, played by the excellent Kelli Maroney — and easily the best
thing, aside from the villainousness of Robert Miano, about this film — who is looking for her lost daughter: a daughter that we realize isn’t missing, but was taken by the Solar Beach cult to their master Dagon. Ambrose is desperate, nearly deranged with grief and fear for her child, and her presence is explained away — gaslit I feel like there is a missed opportunity with Kelli Maroney’s Ambrose Zadok character. The interactions between her and Russell Marsh in her car, which he can somehow just go right into, stand out the most, especially when he confronts her about how “she knew what she wanted” and “she knew the price.” That is a story all in itself.
