And here it finally is... OatCult âOvernight Oats, Without The Sacrificeâ.
When we got the brief, we immediately dug into the world of Robert Eggers, Ari Aster and the cult classic The Wickerman. Immersing ourselves in the world of cults was a fun, weird one.
But hopefully, weâre one step closer to directing an A24 feature. (Manifest that)
This was a proper mad shoot and luckily we had one of the best locations to make it work and a crew that were willing to dig in with us, shooting over two days in the freezing depths of December. All for the art, baby.
Homemade cult masks, 5 hour drives, city boys getting lost in the Lake District, December daylight hours, sporadic rain, working with sheep, a lonely cottage in the hills and a Zipcar towed out of a muddy field by local farmers.
Amazing to see the response to our little promo film for Oat Cult. This really was a labour of love between us, client and crew.
This shoot was an experience.
