Interesting facts

Munchausen is a 2014 American silent short horror film written and directed by Ari Aster. The film stars Liam Aiken as a boy about to go off to college, and Bonnie Bedelia as his overprotective mother who goes to great lengths to keep him from leaving her.

Production

After making The Strange Thing About the Johnsons and Beau in 2011, writer-director Aster and producer De Leon were inspired by the films of Pixar, especially the poignant opening montage of Up. The duo re-teamed with cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski to make Munchausen, and started a successful crowdfunding campaign for the film in 2012 with the help of several collaborators at AFI, which raised $16,175.
