As the FILM4 FrightFest 2013 kicks off this evening, we had the great pleasure in speaking to David McCracken and Joel Townsend, two thirds of the directing team behind horror movie Daylight (with Kaidan Tremain making up the creative trio).
Showing at FrightFest on two occasions – at 1pm on Friday 23rd and 10.15am on Saturday 24th, we spoke to the directors on the phone, to discuss their found footage thriller about a team of Child Protective Services workers who investigate a series of unusual cases of child abuse. We discuss the making of this low-budget flick – and how the entire Indiana town of Evansville contributed to proceedings. We also speak about the importance of the setting, reasons behind using found footage and their delight at the film’s inclusion in this summer’s FrightFest programme.
So tell me where the idea for Daylight came from?
Dm: It came about a while ago.
