1:03
corporate real estate agent says I could

1:52
in Korea and that she needs to a go to
1:56

2:01
Dubai to pick up the key and then go to
2:04
uh Korea to get the package and uh all
2:07
the while she feels she's being followed
2:10
uh Interpol is after her and uh there's
2:13
something strange going on with the
2:14
father so let me uh let me uh let me
2:19
talk about this film for a second um
2:21
it's directed by Neil
2:23
Berger uh sorry I just need to pull my
2:27
notes up here it's directed by Neil
2:28
burer who uh directed Limitless
2:31
Divergent and illus Illusionist uh Stars
2:36
uh D here from
2:37
Bridgeton so this is the interesting
2:39
thing about this movie um this movie was
2:42
shot on an
2:44
iPhone uh in fact uh this movie takes
2:47
place uh around the world in four
2:49
different countries and uh what it
2:51
looked like when you watch this movie
2:53
you're going to swear that uh that there
2:56
was barely a crew involved in this movie
2:59
uh the the camera follows uh Maya
3:02
throughout the entire film and uh and
3:05
while in the movie you realize hey all
3:07
these people and Extras in the
3:09
background uh they're probably real
3:11
people who just happen to be on the
3:13
street when they were filming it uh you
3:15
know they would walk down a city uh
3:18
through a Street Market um and you can
3:21
tell that uh the camera is kind of tight
3:23
in on her and that everyone around her
3:25
has no clue what what's happening uh and
3:28
so it's I I liken it to this there was a
3:31
movie that came out maybe six years ago
3:34
it was a horror film that took place at
3:36
Disneyland and uh these filmmakers went
3:39
into Disneyland uh had their cameras
3:42
hidden and just started shooting uh
3:45
their main characters walking through
3:46
Disneyland going through places they
3:48
shouldn't be uh and then from there
3:50
capturing all this footage then to build
3:52
a uh build a horror film at Disneyland
3:55
um what happens here is I think that's
3:58
exactly what happens in this movie uh in
4:00
fact it is confirmed that it was shot
4:01
with an iPhone from Neil Berger um the
4:05
uh everything uh all the lighting is uh
4:09
is ambient lights at night the only
4:11
light in the room is the the motel lamp
4:15
uh there is a chase scene that is
4:17
incredible uh she's on the there's a
4:19
taxi that is basically a moped she gets
4:21
on the back of the moped and then they
4:24
staged this car chase through the
4:26
through the city through the city in
4:28
Egypt um and uh you know and so they
4:32
have two or three cars just following
4:34
them and he's capturing it and then
4:36
because of uh the small camera you know
4:40
there are people who are on the street
4:42
watching this uh they'll look into the
4:44
camera and you wonder is is that person
4:46
involved is is that person one of the
4:48
bad guys or is it just a random citizen
4:52
um I like this movie a lot uh it builds
4:56
in a in a great way I I think I love
4:58
more the audacity of this movie uh the
5:01
fact that how it was shot and how
5:04
clandestine it was shot uh the fact that
5:07
there's probably zero permits filed to
5:10
make this movie which justes
5:13
me that excites me as an indie filmmaker
5:16
and and I think it if anything this
5:18
movie if you are aspiring Indie
5:20
filmmaker watch this movie and take
5:23
notes uh because the things they do are
5:26
fairly incredible and you know
5:30
I had to hand it to him because there
5:32
are times where she has to go and have
5:34
her passport looked at uh passport ran
5:37
and you know there was some production
5:40
here because I think they actually went
5:42
to uh went to customs and asked them if
5:46
they could take over a desk and film
5:48
these scenes uh because you know clearly
5:51
the people in line and the people at
5:53
Customs are real people uh and then
5:56
she's walking up to a fake agent who's
5:58
now running her fake passport because
5:59
they're making a movie and then letting
6:02
him on um again the sheer Audacity Of of
6:06
making this movie is just what makes
6:07
this movie fun see I I miss those kind
6:10
of balls man like like I look here's the
6:12
thing back in the day you couldn't call
6:14
yourself an indie filmmaker if you
6:15
didn't have some gorilla footage footage
6:17
you know what I mean like you had to
6:19
like just skip skip the the permits
6:21
shoot what you can and then run from the
6:23
cops right I kind of like I kind of miss
6:26
that that that that type of film making
6:29
yeah yeah I mean you know we have our
6:31
guest in the background we'll we'll cut
6:33
get to her soon but um uh the um you
6:38
know with this and Flight Risk it's this
6:40
idea that you have these big Hollywood
6:42
directors deciding to make a truly
6:44
independent film a lowbudget indie film
6:47
uh you know I think for Mel Gibson and
6:48
flight rist he probably had a lot more
6:50
money than this one but for Neil Berger
6:52
to come in and just uh say hey uh I
6:56
don't you know I'm bypassing the entire
6:58
system I'm gonna I'm just gonna get my
7:00
cell phone and we're making a movie and
7:02
we're gonna plan this thing out and the
7:05
fact that he could go to four countries
7:07
and make this movie um you know and uh
7:10
and just this is this is the best in
7:12
gorilla film making that I've seen in a
7:14
very long time and so yeah I I highly
7:17
recommend this movie um I the ending
7:20
scene uh you know it plays out that that
7:23
the film kind of wraps itself up a
7:25
little too quickly um but when the
7:27
ending line of this movie is the title
7:30
of the movie um that was like chef's
7:32
kiss there you go that's the cherry on
7:34
top so um look yeah it was the movie uh
7:38
it was the movie I was going to see
7:39
yesterday uh before my accident so but
7:42
um I I'm it's definitely on my list of
7:45
movies to watch yeah absolutely okay
7:47
yeah uh recommendation another indie
7:50
film ironically directed by Hollywood
7:53
directors all right to your comments I
7:56
you know what though I think we might
7:56
start seeing a lot of that this year I
7:59
think so
8:00
I think so I I just don't see the big
8:02
studios willing to uh spend $10 million
8:06
on a movie anymore $30 million that's so
8:09
stupid to me though I I don't get that
8:11
man well the thing is it's it's the
8:13
lottery if you could drop 20 mil and
8:15
then make 40 mil 50 mil I mean that
8:18
that's that's a win yeah but if you can
8:20
make a $200 million movie earn a billion
8:24
dollars off of it that's the what the
8:26
Studio's focus is it's these huge
8:28
jackpots
8:30
uh when and we're the ones to suffer for
8:33
it because we're not getting uh art
8:35
films we're not getting ingenious films
8:36
but we're also the ones who aren't going
8:38
to watch these big budget movies either
8:40
and they're losing money on them right
8:42
so yeah because honestly there's no
8:45
heart to them and and we want films with
8:46
heart again this movie just just
8:50
watching it unfold and thinking look you
8:53
know it's like going to a magic show
8:54
you're wondering how the the trick works
8:57
uh that's what this movie is
