A film podcast featuring longer form interviews with filmmakers discussing craft. 20-year-old filmmaker and VFX artist, Kane Parsons, joins the podcast to discuss his incredible story from making short films on YouTube to now directing the feature film, Backrooms, for A24. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve. Kane joins the podcast to breakdown his history with Backrooms, filmmaking craft, score, cinematography, VFX, clues to look for in the film, mental health and so much more.

Note: This interview contains VERY MINOR spoilers. Though, since they're vague enough, and without context, it's perfectly suitable to watch this interview prior to seeing the film.#kaneparsons #backrooms #filmmaking #thebackrooms #chiwetelejiofor #renatereinsve #youtube #a24 #film #mentalhealth #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #therapy #loops #rewireyourbrain
