It's official, my friends: The bar is now open. The first episode of writer/director Devi Snively's sparkling new webseries, Martini Mom & Devil Spawn, has been posted and it is indeed a strange brew.
Poor Rosemary. All she wants is a drink and a smile, but an ill-advised one-night stand provides oh so much more. Martini Mom & Devil Spawn is the tale of a, shall we say, directionless young woman whose aperitif existence becomes increasingly complicated when she bears the spawn of Satan.
Martini Mom is best described as a screwball comedy with a cutting edge. When I spoke with Snively recently about the DVD release of Trippin', her first feature, she called the series "Rosemary's Baby meets Absolutely Fabulous with South Park /Family Guy-esque satirical humor, and the occasional gore and/or musical number.

Thanks to a string of award-winning short films, Devi Snively has become something of a darling on the film-fest circuit, garnering a reputation as a filmmaker's filmmaker. While this underground renown hasn't translated to aboveground fame for the auteur, this might soon change thanks to the April 10 release of Snively's first feature, Trippin', in a deluxe two-disc set that also collects all of her celebrated shorts. And if that doesn't do it, her innovative upcoming web series Martini Mom & Devil Spawn likely will.
I recently caught up with the garrulous Ms. Snively for a wide-ranging discussion that covered everything from storytelling and Spider-Man to Oklahoma and the exact location of madness.
Congratulations on the Trippin' DVD! You and Team Deviant have been making movies for more than a decade, but this is your first major release. Is it a validating experience?
Actually, several of our shorts have been released over...

Devi Snively is a sly filmmaker of considerable skill and talent, but she knows she's standing on the shoulders of giants.
For the cineaste, her movies are often a game of spot the shot. While watching her work, I've picked up shrewd nods to several filmmakers, including David Lynch, Tobe Hooper and even Alejandro Jodorowsky. But when I watched Trippin', Snively's first feature, the film I found myself thinking of was Dirty Dancing. I know that sounds strange, but stay with me here.
When I wrote about her short films a while back, I talked about Snively's use of recurring themes and her identifiable cinematic sensibilities. I like to think I can recognize her style when I see it. But Trippin' is different enough from...

Award-winning genre filmmaker Devi Snively's next film will be a neo-noir called Last Seen on Dolores Street. Snively's previous work includes Raven Gets a Life, Death in Charge, Teenage Bikini Vampire, Trippin', Meat is Murder, and Confederate Zombie Massacre.
Last Seen on Dolores Street will be "a 2-minute horror noir film that will hopefully actually be disturbing and scary as opposed to our usual whimsical lighthearted approach to horror," says Snively. "I'm both very excited and very nervous - this is a whole new territory for me."...
