A director, DP, and a 2-person G&E team (also splitting duties as Line Producer, Assistant Director, and Focus Puller) walk onto the set of a cramped three-bed and one-bath apartment with a budget under $5k for a 30-page horror short with aesthetic aspirations of Atlanta and Hereditary.
Fortunately, there’s no punchline here and we walked out with a completed short in hand… barely.
