I'm not talking tight around the guys who spend years honing their technique and then head past due to the world of B to make a flashy feature (Grindhouse), but those who are born out of that wonderfully inclement wasteland -- the men and women who kickstart their speed with blood, chills, and pulp, and then grow into high-buzz filmmakers and talent.
