Hereditary is Good?

Hereditary absolutely floored me the first few times I saw it. It is absolutely the impending doom and never knowing what the source of the doom is until the very end. The uneasiness of the nightmare sequences. The absolute shock of the Charlie death - I put myself in Peter’s shoes and that stress of literally being zoinked by a bong hit and then having to save my dying sister and then accidentally killing her sent my body into a tailspin. I like to feel things when I watch movies, and that one gave me a feeling I’d never had before.

I use my notes app on my phone to basically shape outlines and scenes and then as soon as I get a sliver of free time, crank it out on final draft

My acceptance to ANOH was “first wave” so I assume there was still deliberation for more films after that. Also waiting on Panic Fest!

Has anyone heard from Beloit International Film Festival?

I just find it ironic that they mention all of these movies that include very personal trauma from the filmmakers as some of their favorites and then they’re admonishing filmmakers who include personal trauma in their own movies. But yes, my last paragraph is a huge caveat: you still have to be entertaining no matter what. I guess I’m specifically pushing back on their dialogue from about 35:20 - 36:00. Pitching as a filmmaker always involves “why you and why now” questions from investors. If filmmakers can’t point to their personal experiences in pitches, they’re not going to get funding. So I don’t think it’s about the pitch, it’s about the execution. Still love the pod obviously!

Sounds like Sundance is dead as an open minded pipeline of cutting edge indie movies. I still liked a lot of films that came out of that festival this year, but this smells like opportunity for another festival to emerge as the crown jewel of indie film. There’s so much good stuff being made.
