Former Peck School of the Arts film lecturer and graduate program director Cecelia Condit is a pillar of the analog horror genre and has been a player in the indie film scene since the ‘80s. After her 1983 short film Possibly in Michigan went viral on social media in the mid-to-late 2010s, Condit gained newfound recognition for her influence on the genre.
In the Milwaukee Magazine Q&A led by Piper Porretto-Harried, Condit reflects on her career, how the online popularity of Possibly in Michigan influenced her work, and how she navigates the world of filmmaking as a woman.
“I get asked to go on podcasts and when they introduce me, they call me one of the original workers in analog horror, or they say I am the best of that generation and maybe the best period for any work online. I know that I am not, but I’m the best known in analog horror while being a woman. That’s an extraordinary thing,” Condit said.
