Hey David, I’m a huge fan of your work and am gearing up to shoot my first feature this summer, which is a coming of age story in a similar vein to Myth of the American Sleepover. I’m working with a budget that would make any filmmaker weep, but I’m optimistic and eager to take things into my own hands after being teased by studios that gave me a glimpse of development hell.
I really appreciated your interview with Rope of Silicon where you discuss that filmmaking is unavoidably expensive and debunked that it’s any easy feat. What were the most difficult hurdles you faced with It Follows during production? I’m sure It Follows had a significantly higher budget than Myth of the American Sleepover, so I’m curious what struggles still existed and what you learned from Myth that benefited you in this production.
Also, if you have any advice for a first-time filmmaker diving into their first feature, I’m all ears.
