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

Gotcha, okay. So, once you guys had a script that you like you were happy with what was the next step to actually getting this into production?

I mean, for a long time we were location scouting because we knew that, you know, there’s just a handful of things that we’re going to make this thing work. And whether you have a good screenplay or not, you’ve got to have a location that’s interesting. You’ve got to have actors that can pull it off that, you know, really can perform the way that you need them to in a tight period. Because we shot this thing, you know, we didn’t have a ton of extra take. So, we needed people that could step in and really make it happen. And then we knew wardrobe and sound were going to be really big. So, we started trying to figure those things out early on. There’s a moment when these people take this drug and they use the masks when they’re in this tripping state and, you know, finding those masks right away and then doing some like camera tests with them just so that we could say, yes, this has the feel or no, this doesn’t. Those were things that we started doing, you know, probably a couple of months before we started shooting the film. Don’t you think, Judd?
