Director's Gamble: Six Days, No Script, Sharknado!
20 Jul
Summary
- Aspiring director took on The Asylum's low-budget challenge.
- Filming completed in six days with no finished script.
- The film was made in Australia for the first time.
Aspiring director Anthony Frith pursued a career shock by contacting The Asylum, known for 'Sharknado.' The studio offered him the chance to direct a feature film, their first to be shot in Australia.
Frith was given an extremely tight deadline of six days to complete filming for a new version of 'The Land That Time Forgot.' He was also informed that no script was finalized when he accepted the contract, and he had to secure his own production team just days before the shoot was scheduled to begin.
Adhering to The Asylum's ethos of prioritizing expediency over artistic complexity, Frith sought advice from industry veterans. The experience, though fraught with challenges, resulted in a companionable 90-minute film that explores artistic aspirations and on-set camaraderie.
