DIRECTOR STATEMENT
“Behind the Signal” came from an idea I had almost a decade ago, and I was happy to finally find a place for it when our team pulled “mockumentary” out of a hat as our genre for this year’s 48 Hour Film Project. It was a true team effort with our talented cast expanding our thin outline with their creativity, filling out their characters from names to backstories. Attempting to make an almost entirely improvised film should’ve been far more daunting of a task, but everyone was game and came ready to be creative, making “Behind the Signal” one of the most fun experiences we’ve ever had making a short. Hopefully, that fun shows through the short, and we hope everyone enjoys “Behind the Signal: The Making of Blood Signal 4G”!
