How to Make a Mindf*ck with James Ward Byrkit (Coherence) & Kate Andrews (It's What's Inside)
Summary
This candid conversation goes behind the scenes of two original, one-location genre films that did the impossible. COHERENCE began as a micro-budget, largely improvised experiment made with a group of friends in a single house, and went on to build a global cult following that’s still growing more than a decade later. IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE, an underdog midnight selection from first-time filmmakers, premiered at Sundance and shocked the industry with a $17M sale. Together James and Kate will unpack how these mind-bending films were made outside the traditional system, how creative constraint becomes the engine instead of the obstacle, and why trusting audiences to lean into complexity might be the smartest move a filmmaker can make right now.
