Our second of three Directors Close-Up evenings at the Directors Guild of America brings you Don’t Look Behind You: Directing Genre
As long as audiences have an appetite to be thrilled, chilled, or completely freaked out, genre films will be a staple at the multiplex and on streaming sites. But what’s the secret to making movies that keep us on the edge of our seats, while watching from between our fingers? We’re bringing together a group of today’s top midnight-movie mavericks to share their approach to scaring us silly and getting us to come back for more.
Patrick Brice (Director; Creep, There’s Someone Inside Your House)
Mimi Cave (Director; Fresh, Holland Michigan – 2024)
J.D. Dillard (Director; The Outsider, Sleight)
Nikyatu Jusu (Director; Nanny, Suicide by Sunlight)
A hosted reception will follow the filmmaker conversation.
