Lights, Camera… Vampires? Steve Saxon Joins Us for a Bloody Good Time with Sinners!

This week on the Adult Beverage Film Podcast , we're sharpening our fangs, pouring something strong, and sinking our teeth into Ryan Coogler's electrifying vampire thriller Sinners . Helping us navigate this dark, soulful ride is none other than Steve Saxon — Director of Photography, camera operator, and all-around visual wizard whose credits range from feature films like Cold Storage , 40 Fears , The Ultimate Life , Redneck Roots , and The Last Passport to short film gems like Mike , Little Package , and Chief Tendoy . Basically, if it's got a lens, Steve's pointed it at something cool. Joining Steve are your favorite cinematic drinking buddies: Kent Smith (our award-winning producer/director), Patrick G. Keenan (actor in 61+ films and counting), Laura Truman (film critic and reel collector), and Carlisle "Squeaker" Hamrick (audio genius and professional movie curmudgeon). Together, we break down: Behind-the-lens magic – Steve spills on how the Sinners crew captured that perfect blend of Southern Gothic dread and sultry, blood-soaked atmosphere. Soundtrack soul – Why the film's gospel, blues, and roots-inspired score deserves its own record deal. Sin, blood & salvation – How vampirism becomes a metaphor for addiction, trauma, and the high price of fame. The perfect drink pairing – Think smooth bourbon with a sharp bite (and maybe a dash of holy water). It's a gritty, genre-blending deep dive full of laughs, craft talk, and the kind of exclusive on-set insights you can only get when your guest has filmed everything from indie darlings to vampire showdowns. So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and let's talk blood, bourbon, and badass cinematography. 🎙 Listen now and explore more episodes at
