EP. 1706: Filmmaker Patrick Torres (DEMON)

DEMON, 18min., USA Directed by Patrick Torres https://instagram.com/illuminatingswordsman What motivated you to make this film? I’ve always been interested in the fantasy/ heroic journey genre of film and I feel like we don’t get enough of them today. The muse also seemed to dump a bunch of stories into my head without me requesting them and feel compelled to start creating all of the stories I have written so far. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? Demon took about 18 months to create mostly due to a big injury on my end and crew setbacks. Nothing ever goes according to plan haha. I also had to learn and play with Unreal Engine for the temple shots which took a great amount of time as I had no prior experience with these types of programs. How would you describe your film in two words!? Selfish Hero What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? Like I mentioned earlier, it was definitely the injury (I fell off a horse but it happened after shooting) and learning Unreal. If not for those 2 things I think we could have done it within 9 months. —— Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
