Such is the case with Chris Siverston whose second film, I Know Who Killed Me (pictured) is due out this July while his first, The Lost (review) has still yet to set an opening day. Siverston recently talked to Bloody-Disgusting about what different worlds the two films exist in; “I spent a full year adapting The Lost into a screenplay and raising the money to make it. Then nearly another year in post because I had to do almost everything myself. Then I spent lots of time on the festival circuit and dealing with distributors – it’s a long tedious process.” Whereas with I Know… he was hired to direct the film in September of 2006 and less than a year later it will be out in theaters.
So I guess there is something to be said for making “studio” films, though I Know Who Killed Me sounds like it’ll be unique enough compared to the usual fare that fans will have something to get excited about come July.
