Inside the Untold Journey of Creating a Hit Movie Far from Hollywood Lights with Adam Burke and Jud Nichols

Yes, so maybe you can talk like where did this story come from? What’s sort of the genesis of it? Where was the idea first came to you?

Judd Nichols

So, what’s cool about the story is I think the structure of the story I had sort of thought of. And then the theme and like the subtext underneath it is something that Adam had brought with him like since his time learning how to screen write while in prison. So, like the story itself of a couples retreat center, I think I had thought of because I had an ex-girlfriend that was always pushing me towards doing therapy. And I always had this suspicion that it wasn’t going to work at all, maybe because of the antagonism of our interaction. But I think I had thought of that idea, you know, you, for us, we, we wrote to shoot, we shot to edit and, you know, we edit to win. I guess I had never said that last part. I’ll not probably not keep that. But as far as like the subtext goes and the themes within the film, when Adam took the story structure and wrote in the characters and their backstories and what happens to them and the way this all unfolds, that was from him. So, I won’t take that from you, Adam.
