Nothing would be more 2020 than going boating on a first date you matched with online and your meet-up gives you Covid. But if they capsize you in a lake and give you a brain-eating amoeba? Well, yep\u2026still fits 2020.<\/p>\n

I Think I\u2019m Dying shows flashes of \u201cpandemic satire\u201d (that\u2019s a real genre, right?) as the couple contemplates their fear, amoebas, and of course\u2014the sexiness of dying.<\/p>\n We spoke with Paavo Hanninen<\/a> about I Think I\u2019m Dying and his creative process for developing every facet of the film.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/i-think-im-dying-scr-1.jpg” alt=”i think i’m dying” title_text=”i think i’m dying” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Where did you guys shoot and when?<\/p>\n “We filmed “I Think I’m Dying” in one day at our actor Yamil Rodriguez’s house in New Orleans<\/a>. Originally it was meant to be at night with rain, but that was way too complicated for our crew size so we changed it to early morning–no rain.”<\/em><\/p>\n What was your post-production process like?<\/p>\n “Post-production was chill. We borrowed a guitar and amplifier for the shoot, so I recorded the score with our sound mixer, Justin Ditch, on the set on the same day after we wrapped filming.”<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/i-think-im-dying-scr-2.jpg” alt=”i think i’m dying” title_text=”i think i’m dying” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What’s your favorite shot in the video?<\/p>\n “My favorite shot of the video is probably the last shot of the film because I enjoy the pay-off of the score being played on-screen.”<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/i-think-im-dying-scr-3.jpg” alt=”i think i’m dying” title_text=”i think i’m dying” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What are you looking to direct next?

It’s a story set in the deep south about UFOs, psychic communication, and the dangers of living inside echo chambers.<\/em><\/p>\n If you’d like to read more about I Think I’m Dying, you can check out our feature\/review on Short of the Week<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fablehouse.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fable-house-logo-shadow-2.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
