Something Elemental: Making 'The Rover'

Behind the scenes look at David Michôd's 2014 film 'The Rover'.

The Captain

A hungover plane captain wakes up to discover he's done a very bad thing.

Animal Kingdom

Joshua “J” is taken in by his extended family after his mother dies of an overdose. The clan, ruled by J’s scheming grandmother, is heavily involved in criminal activities, and J is soon indoctrinated into their way of life. But J is given a chance to take another path when a cop seeks to help him.

Inside the Square

Behind the scenes production footage and interview of cast and crew of 2008 film The Square, with particular emphasis on the style and difficulties arose during the shooting and the experience of cast and crew during the making of film.

The List

After making wrong choices, Dale has found himself on a dark path: one of violence and crime. Earmarked to commit a murder, he is already dispassionate to his cause... but a collision with his romantic past sparks a deeper questioning.

Spider

A young man tries to make things right again in his relationship after he and his girlfriend get in a fight.

Crossbow

In Crossbow the spoiler is right in front of you, there in the title. A crossbow is an anachronistic device and does not, at least in my mind, lend itself well to analogy or metaphor. In spite, or, more accurately, precisely because this ominous title hangs over the very start of viewing, the short film remarkably sustains a growing dread throughout its languid narration and slow-moving, though arresting visuals; maximizing its force not through the promise of surprise but through the inevitability of its conclusion.

The IF Thing

With 4 weeks and a budget of $5,000, IF Media approached filmmaker Nash Edgerton and Blue-Tongue Films to produce video insert material for the 2005 Lexus Inside Film Awards. Edgerton agreed. But wanted the $5,000 in cash.
