Anecdotes

Skyman is a 2019 American science fiction-found footage horror film written and directed by Daniel Myrick. Inspired by memories from his childhood and interest in supernatural events, Myrick wrote the premise to be a "character study" comparable to the real-world psychological trauma and life-long experiences of alien abductees.

Production

Based on his interest and fascination in science fiction-based activity from his childhood, Myrick wrote the script as a character-study story after researching the topic of the film. Myrick studied real-world self-proclaimed alien abductees Barney and Betty Hill, as well as read books detailing abduction by extraterrestrials including Messengers and Communion.

Unknown actors were cast in the roles, in an effort for perceived realism, with Emily Schweber serving as Casting Director.

The project was filmed in as a documentary film-styled found footage film. This filming style was chosen after consideration over traditional photography, by the filmmaker, as he felt like it gave him and the actors creative freedom with improvisational flexibility.

Dan Myrick served as co-cinematographer, alongside Kevin Burke.
