Mike Pecci is coming to you from Jersey City, where his first feature film, They Like the Dark, is deep in pre production and getting closer to cameras rolling.
On this episode of In Love with the Process, Mike jumps behind the mic for another real time dispatch from inside the making of the film.
What's it actually like to wake up every morning and prep your first feature?
Mike walks you through his day to day life as a director in pre production, the meetings, decisions, problems, discoveries, and constant conversations happening as dozens of artists begin turning the movie that's lived inside his head into something real.
He also gets into how he works with his art teams, how he communicates a visual idea without simply telling talented artists what to do, and why directing at this stage is about establishing a creative compass that allows everyone around you to explore, experiment, and bring something unexpected back to the film.
And we've got NEWS.
Mike drops an exclusive piece of casting news for They Like the Dark and reveals the iconic creature designer who has officially joined the film to help bring its terrifying world to life.
The team is growing. The designs are becoming real. The movie is taking shape.
If you've been following the They Like the Dark journey from the beginning, you're going to fucking love this episode.
Welcome to Jersey City.
Let's make a movie.
