Writing and directing POV

It has been a week since we shot the short film "Everyone's Alright With This". Just to recap, it is a POV based short film - it is all told from the main character's point of view.

In these two 'behind the scenes' clips Natalie Barthel, the writer, and I talk about working with this unusual method.

I sat down with the producers today, Adam and Dan from Whitelantern, to look over some of the footage. We really pushed ourselves with this short, in terms of scope and scale and technical challenges. The short is probably more complex than any scene in the feature, Friend Request, that it is building up to. So we have pulled out a few lessons to move forward with, both artistically and technically. But fundamentally it still remains an intriguing technique for a feature. And intriguing = cool.
