Shriekfest Radio! Denise Gossett interviews Vanessa Ionta Wright!

Vanessa Ionta Wright was born in Riverside, CA in 1976. A born storyteller, she entertained her way through school with her tall tales and short films and graduated from Ohio University in 1998 with a degree in Video Production and Film. With a knack for comedy and an affinity for a good scare, she has created worlds filled with humor and terror, although not always simultaneously. Her script Bayou Gold placed as a semi-finalist in the 2003 American Zoetrope screenwriting contest, and the science fiction-noir short film The Time Changer placed as a top 10 finalist in the 2014 Shriekfest Film Festival and the 2015 Indie Horror Fest (Chicago, Ill.) “I write to explore the never ending question, what if?  I’ll stop writing when I run out of stories.” Vanessa resides in Peachtree City, GA with her husband John, their two children, and a pug named Phil.
