Hi Will, really liked the short film. How long does something like this take to create? I assume it starts with writing a script and then all the way to when it's ready for release.
Yeah so since the script was only ten pages it was written over the course of a day or so. But then revisions for a few weeks after that. Then pre-production, raising money, casting, hiring ur crew, that all takes at least a couple months. Then the shoot was only two days. And then about 6 month in post production editing, and then a few months trying to figure out how to release it! So all in, about a year and change.
Acting wise shooting a pilot in Canada, have a couple films coming out in the fall. Writing/directing wise I’ve optioned a script called “Coffin Club” about a group of elderly people who build coffins in preparation for their death as a means of coming to terms with mortality (it sounds depressing but I swear it’s a dramedy). Trying to get financing for that, and also writing my own feature that still needs some time!
I’ve seen behind the scenes videos of movie sets and a lot of them seem to still have a pretty decent covid protection protocol. Was there masks being used behind the scenes on Kodar? Are there any other things people do to prevent staff from getting sick?
Most film sets don’t require tests or masks from my experience at the moment, but as recent as a few months ago they did. I shot Greatest Beer Run Ever during the thick of COVID and had to do a mandatory quarantine in Thailand in my hotel room for two weeks before being allowed to work (and then required to test every day and wear masks).
For Kodar we left it up to the individual, we encouraged to wear masks but didn’t mandate it.
Don't threaten us with a bad time Bobby. Turns out it was the talent that drove the first phase success of the MCU. Pushing more Captain Marvel on us isn't gonna do it.
