024: Indie Film Team Talk: Skyman (with Dan Myrick)

08/07/20 • 50 min

Is self-proclaimed alien "experiencer", Carl Merryweather, on the path to filming his own alien abduction? Or is he just another crackpot looking for fame and fortune? Carl himself may not be completely sure, but he is on a mission to find the answer. And that mission ends at the very spot in the desert where it all began almost 30 years ago...a chance meeting with an alien he calls the "Skyman”.

Shot docu style to make the film feel more immediate, unpredictable and above all, intimate. Learn how the creative team pulled off the film and how the director most known for “The Blair Witch” project is pushing to create new, authentic content.

Film Team Talks: Last Call

"Last Call" follows a suicidal alcoholic on the anniversary of his son’s death. When he attempts to call a crisis hotline, a misdial connects him with a single mother working as the night janitor at a local community college. The split screen feature showcases both characters in real-time as they navigate a life-changing conversation.

The film was shot with two camera crews in different parts of the city at the same time. The actors were acting over the phone with one another in order to create the film in a true single take. The film's score was recorded live in a single take also to preserve the vision of an authentic single take experience. Come learn what it took to pull off such a feat!
