The Dark PlacesThe Dark Places is a revolutionary new thriller centered around Liz Barrow, a member of a cold-case podcast fan club. As she and her fellow “coolers” attempt to solve a murder that hits close to home, the growing obsession takes its toll – not only on her personal life, but on her peace of mind. What begins as an amateur investigation turns dangerous as more and more victims turn up the closer the group gets to the truth.
Not everyone deals well with boredom. So after 2 weeks of safer-at-home, director Ned Record had an idea. He shared this idea with writer Amber Shaw. One week later, principle photography began for an innovative new feature film, incorporating a diverse cast of friends and colleagues and utilizing virtual conferencing and video sharing. Editing as he went, Record coordinated the cast’s schedules and computer setups, while Shaw churned out the screenplay, scene by scene, to meet to the shooting deadlines and weave the adjusting plot points and characters into a cohesive story. Three weeks after its inception, principle photography was wrapped, and Record was on to a week of post-production before its debut on Vimeo On Demand This, in itself, is a tremendous feat of independent filmmaking. Add to this achievement a compelling story and an ingenious blending of virtual and physical film techniques, and you get a masterful tribute to the creative spirit thriving under limitations. |
