"The ultimate indie film success story! Writer and director Ian Tuason joins Giles Alderson to discuss his massive breakout horror hit, Undertone. Made for just $500,000, Undertone sparked a bidding war at Fantasia Fest, was acquired by A24 in a 7-figure deal, and is now crushing the global box office ($20M and counting). Ian breaks down how he crafted 'the scariest movie you'll ever hear' by making an audio-driven horror film where only one speaking character (Nina Kiri) is ever shown on screen. We dive deep into the emotional reality of indie filmmaking, as Ian reveals what it was like to shoot the film in his childhood home where he previously cared for his terminally ill parents. We also discuss his background in 360-degree VR horror and how this massive indie hit led to him being hired by Jason Blum and James Wan to write and direct Paranormal Activity 8. A truly inspiring masterclass in utilizing your limitations! Links & Resources: Go see Undertone in cinemas now!

Kat’s indie roots: Making her first feature for $150k and shooting in 11 days. The logistics and challenges of producing in a foreign country. Adapting to the different cultures of international film crews. Starting in the "run-and-gun" world and knowing how to pivot on set. Why directing is exactly like being the "conductor of an orchestra." Why every director should learn all aspects and roles of filmmaking. The absolute, make-or-break importance of scheduling.
