Get to know the filmmaker:
What motivated you to make this film?
I have a personal attachment to this problem. I lost my grandfather to smoking hence I’m making the world aware of its ill effects. However, I wanted to message this to the audience using a non traditional method. I feel an ad, doesn’t have the same impact as a short conveying the message through the horror, thriller, and suspense genre.
From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
It took me about 3 weeks to complete the film.
How would you describe your film in two words!?
Final drag.
What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film?
I think as a first time filmmaker all aspects of filming were new and challenging to me.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
I am truly ecstatic winning the best micro short at the world’s #1 Thriller film festival in the world. More importantly, I think the audience feedback video truly helped me understand how my work can reach people and evoke deep emotions in them.
