“From Pocket to Projector: Discover How Jamie Grefe Filmed Two Movies on His Phone!”
Ashley
Gotcha, gotcha. So, I like to wrap up these interviews just by asking the guests, if there’s anything you’ve seen recently that you can recommend to our mostly screenwriting audience, I’m always looking for things to add to my list. Is there anything you’ve seen recently, Hulu, Netflix, HBO, that you can recommend that you think maybe is a little under the radar?
Jamie Grefe
Yeah, so I don’t watch Netflix. I don’t watch Hulu, I don’t watch any of that stuff. I usually dip into the internet archive. Or I’ll go through different channels to find things that are just really, I’m very particular about what I watch. But I did see a movie that is directed by Kyoshi Kurosawa. And the movie is called Chime. He was just in LA recently premiering this movie and another movie that he directed. He directed two or three movies in the same year. He did this movie years ago called Cure. And he did another movie called Pulse. These are fascinating movies. Actually, I’m really happy this movie came to my imagination because the day I was going to go shoot the love movies. So, Chime is 44 minutes long. It’s a feature film. It’s shot in Japan. 44 minutes long. The morning of October 1st. I did a yoga class in the morning. I came home as I was getting ready, like I’m going to go to the mansion, whatever I put in Chime. I put it on. And it was just like exactly what I needed. It’s this slow, quiet horror experience with a couple really good, you know, moments of intensity, and then a lot of slow dread. And it just felt so good. So, I would definitely recommend Kyoshi Kurosawa.
