Directing - Blog Posts

Hey,

If I were to tell y’all about my Minecraft Movie re-write that is nothing like the actual movie, would you guys be interested?

Because……..

Emma Swan/Jennifer Morrison directed episode 4 (12 Angry Girls and 1 Drunk Travis) and episode 7 (Croak) of Yellowjackets season 3.

For Lottie’s death scene, she was a stand-in one day, according to her Instagram.

A few other pics I found under the cut

I love Emma. I haaaaate that Lottie died, so much, but I like that Jennifer directed the episode.

Okay.

So, I'm working on this project for the Nikon Film Festival. And I'm meeting one of the potential actors in like 30 minutes. I'm so stressed and anxious because it's kinda of the first time -well it is the first time- that I'm directing a short. But at the same time I'm thrilled that this is happening and so glad that I'm able to lead this project and do something creative. It's a bit fucked up.

Like, the mixture of feelings in me right now, is driving me crazy. One second I'm scared and think it's a terrible idea, because I'm being vulnerable making this short. But then I'm on top of the world because I do something I love.

If I ever get to make a movie I'm definitely going to add a scene where the main character is walking up a hill alone at dawn, they've been through hell, maybe their covered in soot from a fire, or the blood of a monster. Maybe their covered in water, soaked to the bone.

Their eyes aren't focused on anything, you can see how much is going through their mind. All their friends are dead or have betrayed them. The hillside is beautiful compared to what just happened to them, wild flowers, a water fall and a river in the background.

Then the movie ends. That's it. Maybe there's a sequel, maybe not. Do they survive? Do they not? Who the hell knows. Maybe you hear a yell from their friend or a final screech from the monster. I hope I make a movie one day.
