We made a movie because we had a puppet, a swimming pool and an afternoon to screw around.
That’s basically the origin story of SLIMY JOE.
The puppet was built by Nate Strauss for another project, Dan came up with this ridiculous idea for what we could do with him, Strauss and Dan came over, I grabbed the camera and we spent a few hours making a movie with my boys.
No giant plan. No months of prep. Just LET’S DO THE DAMN THING.
I’ve spent the last few days cutting it together and I’ll be working on the VFX over the next week.
And man, THIS is the kind of filmmaking that’s exciting me right now. Grab some friends. Use what you’ve got. Make something weird. Finish it. Then go make more s**t.
SLIMY JOE is coming.
