Episode 56 – 'Deadly Illusions' w/ Writer/Director Anna Elizabeth James & Editor F. Brian Scofield

How does a movie get into Netflix’s Top 10, seemingly out of nowhere — especially an indie production? On this episode writer/director Anna Elizabeth James and editor F. Brian Scofield talk their film "Deadly Illusions," which recently spent almost a week as the #1 film on Netflix both domestically and internationally. (As of this writing, it’s still #5 worldwide.) We discuss how the strong reactions of Film Twitter betray that viewers compulsively kept watching, James’s realization of needing to go “rogue” to make movies this distinct, hate-watching, if a movie shows what isn’t working with institutional and interpersonal film criticism, and Scofield’s work tying to balance a tone of real/unreal or straight/camp. Also: how normal story structure of rising tension/climax/denouement models a male orgasm, how Illusions’ structure models a female’s, the beatifically committed performance of star Greer Grammar, why the Internet reacted so strongly to the film’s ending, and exclusive (BOOM!) news about the potential "Deadly Illusions" sequel. Along with this recent Netflix hit, James has written and directed "Emma's Chance," also starring Grammar. A graduate of the University of Southern California, you can find out more about her work at her website or the website for her production company, Kiss & Tale Productions. https://www.annaelizabethjames.com https://kissandtaleproductions.com Scofield, also a graduate of USC, is an editor and filmmaker who’s edited films for Terrence Malick, Warren Beatty, and other independent filmmakers.
