This week, Freestyle Digital Media is getting into the holiday spirit early with director David Del Rio’s psychological thriller with a yuletide twist, Sick For Toys, which just recently premiered on VOD and various digital platforms. Starring Camille Montgomery, Jon Paul Burkhart, David Gunning, and Justin Xavier, the story follows a troubled young woman named Emilia (Montgomery), whose obsession with Christmas and playthings goes way too far, all with the help of her older brother, Edward (Burkhart), who has been catering to his sister’s whims ever since their parents died.
Daily Dead recently had the chance to catch up with Del Rio for a Q&A with the director, in which he discussed being at the helm of his first feature, collaborating with his cast and crew, and more. We also have a clip from the film for Daily Dead readers to enjoy.
Congrats on your first feature as a director.

It’s finally happening: the final countdown to the greatest time of the year is officially upon us! With the seasonal changes looming in the distance and Halloween drawing closer with each passing day, I can’t help but get excited by the fact that this weekend marks the start of September, because that means October is just four weeks away.
