We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephen Grischuk and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephen, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
First and foremost Box Creep Films is a total love letter to horror and exploitation cinema that is made with the intention of having a fun time with my friends. We have a blast making low budget horror films, and wouldnt have it any other way. I love being able to show off my town Oceanside and all the talented people in my life that I can call my friends.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Making independent films has sent me down a path full of fun times and wild rides. Shooting without permits and for little money will send you down paths not many people get to explore. When we shoot, good times are sure to ensue. What makes Box Creep Films special, is that we get to shoot what we want, when we want to. No limits, no rules, and bucket loads of good scary times. Uncompromising, punk rock film making, filled with passion from the get go.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oceanside has so much to offer! I love our beautiful beaches. You can find me down at the harbor on nice summer days, or walking down our awesome pier. Skateboarders like myself will have a field day considering all the skateboard history here. Stop by prince park, or any number of our world class skateparks for that matter. Pizza fans have to go to Killer Pizza From Mars for some out of this world pizza and video games. You cant beat it! For those who like the night life, feel free to come by out weekly streetfair for live music and crazy food vendors! You can even come catch some local bands playing at The Pour House on coast highway. We have a geat local metal scene around here. Down town offers the fair and so many good times, you’ll never get bored. Ive been living here 30 years now, and cant think of a more fun place to be!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have so many people I could thank for their overwhelming support of Box Creep Films. Ill keep it short, but I could go on for days. My family is so supportive, I really couldn’t ask for a better team behind me. Thank you Mom Dad and David so much. My buddy and fellow Director Johnathan Doe at Putrid Productions is an immense help as well. Thanks dude!
