With this film dealing with analog film as opposed to our digital world, how was it developing the cinematographer for this film with Director of Photography Scott Thiele? I needed to know why am I so freaked about this and that really drew me into this in the same way as going down a rabbit hole about a broadcast signal intrusion - an unsolved mystery, like the Max Headroom incident, that starts as a curiosity and then becomes a fascination. It wasn't a phobia I have but there was something about videotapes and even something about things that have an uncanny valley, a unsettlingness because there's just something off about them. My horror director friends and I speak about them the way I think comedians talk about jokes, instead of being scared, just going, "Oh, that's scary!" But this material really unsettled me and I wanted to know more and investigate this feeling further because I couldn't put my finger on it. I'm not really squeamish and I don't really get freaked out by horror movies on a deep level: it's more of an analytical thing or appreciating it on an art level. Jacob Gentry: I felt very unsettled by the material and I didn't know why I was unsettled by it. What was it about this script and project that really intrigued you, Jacob?
