Jack Kilmer Talks "The Tower", Mermaids, and Vampires | Comic-Con Interview

Daily Actor September 23, 2024 12:45 pm

In this interview from Comic-Con, director Adam Sigal discusses his independent film "The Tower," offering valuable insights on raising money for indie projects, navigating the business side of filmmaking, and the creative challenges he faced during production. He also shares his inspirations, particularly from iconic director David Lynch, and delves into his casting process, collaboration with actors, and thoughts on potential sequels. 

Here's a bit more of what's in the interview:
• Raising Money for Independent Films (00:02): Sigal mentions there's no exact way to raise money for independent films, emphasizing the need to understand the business side of filmmaking rather than relying solely on having a great project.
• Importance of Business Acumen (00:47): He stresses that filmmakers should not just rely on their project's greatness but should learn how to market and sell their ideas to succeed.
• Shooting Challenges (01:34): Sigal discusses difficulties during filming, particularly building a giant tank for the movie and the challenges it posed for actors, especially with dialogue-heavy scenes.
• Inspiration from Independent Directors (02:32): Sigal cites independent director David Lynch as a major inspiration, admiring Lynch’s unique approach to storytelling and his ability to prioritize emotions over narrative structure.
• David Lynch’s Influence (03:30): He shares his deep appreciation for Lynch’s work, describing how Lynch’s films, though sometimes nonsensical, leave a lasting emotional impact.
• Casting Process (05:12): Sigal explains that the actor cast in a role rarely matches his initial vision, but he prioritizes the actor’s ability to embody the character and bring their own understanding to the role.
• Collaboration with Actors (05:52): He values collaboration, allowing actors to interpret and bring life to the characters based on his original concept, trusting their expertise.
• Prioritizing Cinematic Elements (06:33): While casting, Sigal looks for actors who bring an interesting cinematic presence, rather than simply matching his original idea of the character’s appearance.
• Sequel Possibilities (07:25): Sigal is open to the idea of a sequel if it aligns with his vision and adds something meaningful to the original story, though he is cautious about creating sequels just for commercial reasons.
• Favorite Mythical Creature (08:23): He reveals that vampires were his favorite mythical creature as a kid, despite not believing in them, because he finds them "so cool."
