Five years ago Kyle Edward Ball started making short horror videos inspired by people’s nightmares and posting them on YouTube. His debut feature Skinamarink—shot for just $15,000 in his childhood home in Edmonton, Canada—was the breakout hit of last year’s Fantasia Film Festival, and came from out of nowhere to become one of the most anticipated upcoming horror films.
Ahead of the film’s theatrical release this Friday, Ball joined the Screen Slate pod over Zoom to talk about getting started as a filmmaking, finding his unique voice, the YouTube analog horror movement, straddling the line between narrative and dream logic, and his response to the film going viral before its release.LinksSkinamarink trailerBitesized NightmaresHeck (Skinamarink proof-of-concept short)
