The first part of DESCENT, the 5-part sci-fi comedy series I directed is out NOW! Over the past year I’ve had the pleasure of bringing this beast of a show to life with some ridiculously talented friends, and we’re so proud of the final result. It would mean the world if you’d give it a look in ❤️🥹🌊🐟🐠🐬
A perfect gothic picture - dripping in atmosphere and aided by Bava’s expressive cinematography - filled with slow pans and dramatic zooms, dark shadows and colourful pockets of light. A few shots in particular really struck me, like the ghost’s POV on the swing, as well as the spinning camera under the staircase. There’s a playfulness to the camera work that only adds to the hallucinatory effect. An excellent vibes movie. The spider-web and fog machine budget alone must have been astronomical.
