PSA from
(the other half of “Wine and…”, a quote from today’s podcast):Anyone within the reach and breadth of our voices, go see this film, to support this independent, long-form filmmaking that has taken 16 years and is a collaborative effort. And on top of that, make sure you judge it based on its own aims, not what you think it should be, not what you want it to be, but what it presents to you. Its own storytelling and its ability to craft beautiful scenes, shots, characters, narrative, and plot.
Ever wondered how much of a miracle it is that any movie sees the light of day? Well here’s a great reminder!
Screenwriter Rylend Grant tell us how it took 16 years for HAUNTED HEART to make it to audiences as a completed film. It was his very first professional pitch in Hollywood - to Penelope Cruz! And now 16 years later, and in a different iteration, it’s finally here for all to see. Currently in theaters and VOD. Check your area’s availability!
A Greece-based romatic thriller with echoes of Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith, directed by Ocar-winning director, Fernando Trueba, and starring Matt Dillon, Aida Folch, and Juan Pablo Urrego.
Rylend Grant has written for the likes of JJ Abrams, John Woo, F Gary Gray, Daveed Diggs, Adam Winguard, Ridley Scott, Justin Lin, and Penelope Cruz. But Haunted Heart was his very first professional screenplay.
He’s also written a number of award-winning comics, including BANJAX, THE JUMP, FA SHENG: ORIGINS, THE PEACEMAKERS, and currently being crowdfunded as we speak, THE BREACH, a BLACK MIRROR-esque gritty small town crime drama...you know, if there was a portal to another time/dimension about to open up in said small town, and if there was a massive futuristic army about to kick it's way through and lay waste to said small town.
Check out Rylend’s THE BREACH!
