Inside the Untold Journey of Creating a Hit Movie Far from Hollywood Lights with Adam Burke and Jud Nichols
Judd Nichols
Yeah, I think that’s exactly right. I think the genre was a consequence of choosing the different tools we wanted to come together more so than an, like, what is it, an a priori decision. So yeah, I think Adam and I knew that it’s like you can write stories that are ripe for books. You can, some are maybe, you know, through poems and oral traditions, some are in a single photograph. But I think the best movies are the ones we wanted to make are ones where the different tools, meaning imagery, music, writing, sound design, where they all come together and say something as one. That’s like the, is it called like a gestalt? Like the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. So, in my opinion, I think this is kind of true with horror, even though Adam doesn’t like horror as much. I feel like psychological thrillers and horror films are so well told through the cinematic medium because they weave the confluence of all the tools so tightly together and at once. Am I making sense?
