Interesting facts

King Dave is a 2016 Canadian drama film directed by "Podz" and starring screenwriter Alexandre Goyette and Karelle Tremblay. Directed as a single shot, it is based on Goyette's stage play of the same name.

Production

Alexandre Goyette wrote the film, based on his play. Director Daniel Grou, under his professional pseudonym "Podz", filmed King Dave in five unbroken shots, in five nights. However, all of the footage seen in the released film was taken in the fifth night of shots. Podz said that unlike other "one-shot films" such as Alfred Hitchcock's Rope, this method was not to portray action in real time, but to portray the character narrating in real time.

Rehearsals took place for weeks before filming commenced. Difficulties on the fourth day caused all of the footage to be unused. Twenty locations were used.
