NOTE to NON-MEMBERS: Interested in joining the SHERDOG MOVIE CLUB? Shoot me a PM for more info.
Here's a quick list of all movies watched by the SMC. Or if you prefer, here's a more detailed examination.
Chapter 2 of: MusterX tries to mindfuck the SMC!
Our Director
James Ward Byrkit
Premise: Strange things begin to happen when a group of friends gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead.
Budget: $50,000
Box Office: $102,617

* Relying on a low budget of $50K, the movie was shot over five nights in a single location with dialogue that was largely improvised.
* Instead of scripts, the actors would each receive only a small paragraph (that only they would see) as their 'goals' for the day. This allowed for the story to unfold naturally and create genuine reactions in the other actors.
* The actor who plays Amir, Alex Manugian, is also the co-writer. He was essentially "the mole" who helped guide scenes if the actors went astray.
* The story took a year to write.
* The set only had 5 crew members: 2 sound guys, the director of photography, the director, and producer Lene Bausager.
* The neighborhood was supposed to look completely dark when the first group visits the other house. It was the same night a Snickers commercial was being filmed in the neighborhood which used huge lights and hundreds of people.

Coherence is James Ward Byrikt's only directed film. He is more profitable in his work as a Storyboard Artist (of all things), having done the storyboards for movies like Rango, Baby Driver, and the Pirates of the Carribean franchise (what a bewilderingly random resume).
