#21 - J.D. Dillard - Sleight (2016)

In a few short years, J D Dillard has gone from being a receptionist at Bad Robot (J. J. Abrams production company) to having 2 features under his belt, and is (possibly) on his way to developing a Star Wars project. You may not know who J D Dillard is. Thats OK, because theres a whole podcast here on the man himself. A true indie filmmaker in the eyes of YNFYF, his first film, Sleight (2016), follows street magician Bo as he is left to care for his younger sister. A genre blend thats part superhero, part sci fi and a whole lot of low-budget indie, Sleight is inspired by Dillards own experiences growing up learning magic. For the first time in 2 episodes, the original 4 are back together to do what they do best - tackle low budget indie flicks. And yes, for long time fans, that means Blumhouse is no doubt getting a shout out.
