There are several filmmakers I’ve talked to recently, and now I count you among them, who are using science-fiction ideas in their movies without spaceships and explosions and planets blowing up. So I think that probably just the frustration with Hollywood and all the closed doors probably led to wanting to completely break the rules.
#COHERENCE CAST AND CREW MOVIE#
Part of it was also after years of trying to pitch things and get other projects off the ground through the studio route and being told no time and time again - they’re like, “You’re not a famous director so we’re not going to make your movie” - I think there was probably a desire to say well you know what, I can make a movie with both hands tied behind my back and hopping on one foot that will be more compelling than the stuff you guys are making. And so when I got serious about making a micro-budget movie, it just seemed like the right time to try that experiment. James Ward Byrkit: You know, for many years I had been thinking about doing this experiment and really craving to try something that did not have a script and did not have such a big crew.
Each actor was not aware of what the others were going to do, and they were not informed ahead of time of the clues and surprises that Byrkit would spring on them as they attempted to solve the mystery of what was happening to them. His actors were not given a formal script, but instructions each morning on what their characters’ motivations and actions might be. With a career including stints as co-writer and storyboard artist on Rango, conceptual artist on the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and director of shorts, videos and games, James Ward Byrkit makes his feature directorial debut with this micro-budget independent project, which he shot over five nights at his own house. As hidden secrets, long-held regrets and simmering tensions rise to the surface, the dynamics of the group itself may end up becoming just as damaging as the cosmic events unfolding around them.
In Coherence, eight friends get together at one couple’s house for a dinner party only to soon learn that a bizarre astronomical event is somehow altering the very fabric of reality.
