With much of the story being real events, were you concerned with the ramifications of the crime aspects presented? Was there a line in your mind or in the course of filming the project that you were not willing to entertain crossing?
#SNOW ON THE BLUFF MOVIE HOW TO#
There was never any worry about how to present the story because the story sort of told itself. Were you concerned about how you should present the story? With the nature of ‘found footage’ and movies that blur the lines of reality seemingly in vogue these days. We eventually put everything together and made a film. He and his friends had a little bit of footage that they had shot on their own that they showed me. He sounded very passionate and I decided to meet with him.
He had heard that I was a filmmaker and that I worked in television and he wanted me to help him with some filming that he was doing. He had gotten my number from a friend of friend.
How did you become involved with this project?Ģ years ago I got a call in the middle of the night from a drunken Curtis Snow. I had an opportunity to talk with him about his latest project.
Director Damon Russell has a background in reality television which might explain his attraction as well as skill at making this story seem all too real for one to notice whether it’s truly a narrative film or simply captured footage from real life exploits. The movie tells a story of Curtis Snow who lives in a rough Atlanta neighborhood. I get a sense that we’ll be hearing more controversy from a film that recently screened at the Slamdance Film Festival from sometime Atlanta filmmaker Damon Russell. The recent success of Catfish as well as Exit through the Gift Shop and even the “is it or isn’t it real” I’m Still Here haven’t come without controversy surrounding how much of these films are true events versus how much is not. Ever since the phenomenal success of The Blair Witch Project, there seems to be a fascination as well as an eagerness to blur the lines between reality and fiction to keep an audience off guard as to what feelings to be drawn from what they are watching unfold on the screen in front of them.
