Recently, I caught up with British director Edward Andrews to chat about the pre-production phase of his new, Mexico-based sci-fi action flick, Hecatomb, in order to shed some light on what it takes to shoot an independent proof-of-concept overseas.
Check out the full interview in Love Amen Magazine, here, and stay tuned to ILT for future updates!

Recently, I reviewed British director Edward Andrews’ award-winning short, Red Handed.
For his next project, Hecatomb – a dystopian action flick set in the desolate Mexican wastelands of the new world – Ed travelled south of the border to Monterrey. Armed with no budget, no electricity, no toilets, and a wholly unfamiliar cast & crew, it was certainly a shoot to remember…
Check out the film’s facebook page for Ed’s fascinating proof-of-concept production diary, How We Made a Sci-Fi Film in the Mexican Desert, and stay tuned to ILT for future updates!

It seems Mendes and co. were handed a licence to kill the progress made with Skyfall.

PerfAction is a new series designed solely to gush unashamedly about, you guessed it, perfect goddamn action films.
First up, a flick that should have been the start of something great for Michael Bay, but ended up the tallest peak in a rapidly depressed (but wealthy) career…

It doesn’t matter what I think, the studio already has your money.

Dinosaurs, Nazis, kung-fu, time travel, Thor, 1980s fashion…
That’s right, it’s David Sandberg’s viral short: Kung Fury.
I reviewed it, because I had to. After all, it’s my job.
