We are live, on-location at the TCL Chinese Theatre for the 19th annual Oscar Qualifying ⁠HollyShorts Film Festival⁠, as the official podcast partner. These shorter, special episodes are with selected filmmakers.In this episode Hae sits down with Eugen Merher (writer/director) & Alexander Wolf David (composer) of the film “The Boy Who Couldn’t Feel Pain” which was nominated for a Student Academy Award last year 2022.  Logline:  ‘The Boy Who Couldn't Feel Pain’ is set in Grants, New Mexico and tells the fictional small-town legend of Chester, a street fighter who can't feel any pain. When Annie, a bowling alley employee who just moved into town challenges him for a fight, things begin to change.Eugen discusses his self-made stabilization arm attached to a pickup truck (a poor man’s Ukrainian arm) for some running shots. How did they work with talent with this set-up? The actor had to run for about 8 hours, stop & go. As a film school project, the New Mexico market was accommodating to their low budget. Alex Wolf David, Composer had to create a sound of “legend” and “awkwardness” for the character. Alex improvises musically and Eugen would listen to what feels right. They also found a local instrument made of a cigar box to give the appropriate sounds. Their 4:3 aspect ratio was a choice driven by the simple and small world story of the main character. Instagram:  @eugendirector (https://www.instagram.com/eugendirector/)@mortihochberg (https://www.instagram.com/mortihochberg/)@lephilipon (https://www.instagram.com/lephilipon/)@catfishjean (https://www.instagram.com/catfishjean/)@delilah_constanza (https://www.instagram.com/delilah_constanza/)@dylansprayberry (https://www.instagram.com/dylansprayberry/)@ernstli (https://www.instagram.com/ernstli/)@alexanderwolfdavid (https://www.instagram.com/alexanderwolfdavid/)@robinharff_audio (https://www.instagram.com/robinharff_audio/)@manuport (https://www.instagram.com/manuport/)@filmakademie_bw (https://www.instagram.com/filmakademie_bw/)@tempomedia.de (https:/Send us a textFor our listeners, CFA’s teamed up with We Make Movies to get you a discount on production management services, including access to comprehensive production insurance and workers' comp for your next shoot.
