Emily Bett Rickards Instagram – WARNING ‼️- Full review has spoilers but the specific slides here don’t give away the story 🤫 – Thank you to everyone who gave their all to making this independent film a reality.
It has been the biggest undertaking of my professional career, as a story this big and a movie this ambitious is normally only left to major Hollywood studios to produce.
I am deeply honored that @hollywoodreporter gave us such a powerful, in depth praising review.
Thank you to @dpandystrahorn for being the best cinematographer I could ask for to make this picture with, in the trenches and in the fields, figuratively and literally. To @sofijamesicek for the endless tenacity and great taste of our wardrobes and costumes. I’m so happy the review calls her out. @bloodymolly for the production design. Your punk rock take no prisoners mentality to building our world is why I hired you.
To @chayeseditorial for your diligent editing helping craft this story and convey emotion minute by minute. Your honesty and passion was felt every day for the past year while we tried to solve this jigsaw puzzle.
To @houseaudio for your score that has helped bring out heavy emotions all over the country at these early festival screenings. The combination of the right music with the right picture is how the phenomenon of goosebumps happens in theaters and I’m so grateful for your melodies and dedication.
To @emilybett and the entire cast who gave it their all day after day in the dead summer heat of Kentucky. Everything this review says about your performance is true Emily.
To @joshlucas and @waltongogginsbonafide for taking a chance on a no name director because you believed in the story. It does not go unnoticed. Both of you challenged me every day on set in the best ways. To see our film land like it has in over a dozen different cities already gives me great hope for what will happen early next year for our wide release.
To my lead producer @aimeeschoof the legend @jimrossbbq and biz partner @a_mastromauro who all played critical roles, thank you.
And to @angelenetania & Izzy by my side through it all, keeping dada focused, inspired and safe while giving great notes. I love you❤️ | Posted on 20/Nov/2024 03:43:22
