You can really feel how the actors fired each other up. It's awesome!

[@kory_misun]

Jono: Pure Experiment. It could be total crap. *Proceeds to give us all chills with this bonus take.*

[@ormoffat]

Jono taking that fall down the stairs made me gasp SO LOUD

[@fugithegreat]

It's great seeing all the dedication and hard work that goes into filmaking. Thanks for sharing this!

[@Uncle_Smidge]

Dude, going full ham for stunts is the BEST. Jono's a badass for pitching that; it was a great addition! One of my favorite shoot days was getting picked up and hucked around on a crash pad ten times. :V

[@harlequinherveaux8759]

I just love these behind the scenes-epsiodes, thank you so much for sharing! 💜

[@TelekinesisStudios]

You are so welcome! *Many* more coming.

[@harlequinherveaux8759]

@@TelekinesisStudios Yay! 🥳🥰

[@MisterG2323]

I love BTS vids from companies (using that more in the theatre sense, not business per se) honestly trying to document their work/process, and not just tooting their own horns. You guys rock!

[@LadyDebs]

From someone who works nights... Stick with "hello", it covers all times. Also, "good" and "morning" are contradictory terms. ;) LOVED the film!!! Can't wait for the trilogy. I want advance tickets.

[@duffgirl216]

Audrey is so CUTE!!!!!!! I love her 😍❤

[@YourRyeBread]

This was so fun to watch

[@ladylost2792]

This brings me so much nostalgia. ☺️ In high school I had friends in cinematography, and I'd gotten pulled into doing some parts at the last second. (Literally!) It's so fun playing the "monster" type of character. 😄

[@michaelcharboneau1836]

This was great. I loved the short. I was wondering... was Miranda named as an homage to Serenity?

[@TelekinesisStudios]

She absolutely was! The last celestial body orbiting Burnham in the Blue Sun system. Miranda is a moon.

[@EssenSlug]

This is why I act, I want this

[@wendychavez5348]

Showing my age just a little, though I love the South Park vibes of "We killed Jono!"

[@dawnfinch2836]

That was a scary short brilliantly done 👍

[@annecohen8927]

I have often wonder about the inspiration and meaning behind the blue moon and possibly behind the powerful influence, whether it is alien in origin. I did remember experiencing the phenomenon of the orange moon especially when it happened during the terrible firestorm we had in California, especially when the entire sky was completely a burnt orange hue. It was absolutely frightening.

[@wendychavez5348]

That sounds gorgeously frightening!

[@oliviaolsen8718]

I think I reacted just about the same way as Shona... I was worried for Jono

[@EvanCops]

9:03 oof oooof dude

[@rileymarie1940]

Question for Jono! As someone who works with abuse victims, does performing in roles like this ever make you uncomfortable? I know it's fake but everyone did such a good job, it looked so real. If I were in your situation I would find it hard to compartmentalize. You said that you were able to believe that you're terrifying. I'm wondering how you can do a scene like that, considering the demographic you work with. Were there ever moments when it was too real? Please share your thoughts!

[@rileymarie1940]

Why are there cardboard boxes taped to the walls? Is it something to do with sound?

[@TelekinesisStudios]

It's actually to protect the house while we're moving big heavy movie equipment around the *very* narrow hallways. Doesn't do much for sound. Credit a good Producer (Daren) for that little gem!

[@rileymarie1940]

What a neat trick! Haven't seen that before
