Dig Two Graves (2014)

Curiozități

Dig Two Graves is a 2014 independent gothic thriller written by Hunter Adams and Jeremy Phillips, and is Adams' first full-length feature as director. The film was executive produced by actor and director Larry Fessenden. Members of its crew were selected by the Independent Filmmaker Project, by working with the Southern Illinois University film department, and by involving the community of the film's Southern Illinois location. The film's cast includes Ted Levine, Samantha Isler, Danny Goldring, and Troy Ruptash.

Production

The film began as a short called Jake's Choice, filmed in northeast Wisconsin. The intention was for it to provide a fundraising tool, but as director Hunter Adams admitted to I Am Entertainment Magazine, it chiefly "helped [him] clarify the visual and aural design of the film".

In 2013, the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) selected the Dig Two Graves script as one of 20 in its Emerging Narrative Program. The IFP focuses exclusively on low-budget films (under $1 million) and provides first-time feature film directors with a free year-long mentorship that assists them and their crew with post-production, marketing, and distribution of their films.

Production took place over a total of five weeks: four weeks in January and one week in the summer. During filming, the cast endured one of Southern Illinois' worst winters in recorded history. However, producer P.J. Fishwick and associate producer Jon Parker, along with Adams, agreed that the area gave the film the visual look needed to maintain authenticity under a low-budget.
