REAL TALK:

Shawn is a cool guy. In every sense. Very chill. Easy to talk to. Paints a great picture of what he’s describing. Interesting guy and talented filmmaker.

This movie will have you talking about it long after the final shocking scene. Watching Hunter Hunter you could sense the elements of the wilderness played a huge part in the shoot and in the plot. This certainly wasn’t a film you show up and have fancy graphics and CGI cover up everything. This was raw filmmaking. Fantastic performances from Devon Sawa, Camille Sullivan, Nick Stahl and Summer Howell.

Shawn shared the story about the snowstorm that happened at the end of the shoot and how it could have potentially cause a lot of problems on the shoot. Luckily they avoided it and had most of the principal photography completed.

I had to nudge Shawn a bit to get into the ending of the film, but it was well worth it. I just had to know what he was thinking and the meaning of it. If you haven’t seen the film, be prepared. Shawn did a fantastic job detailing the thought process behind the ending of the film without really revealing it. Impressive description. See this film!

‘HUNTER HUNTER‘ will be released In Theaters, On Demand and Digital on December 18, 2020
