Q: How did festival experiences influence the project's direction?
The hosts discuss how attending UFF and witnessing other analog and interactive formats inspired a more experiential approach, reinforcing the idea that the audience participation and physical media packaging could become part of the film experience.
#165: Elias Noel Almeda & Aren Mineo (The Dark Watchers)
Q: What was the role of the production company in shaping the project?
Elias explains that Polyphony Films, founded to enable more voices in storytelling, became the platform that facilitated collaborative development and allowed the team to pivot toward a multi-voiced, found-footage narrative.
#165: Elias Noel Almeda & Aren Mineo (The Dark Watchers)
Q: What sparked the shift to a found footage approach for The Dark Watchers?

#161: UFF9 Live Q&A Interviews
Q: How long did it take to complete the project from concept to final cut?
The assembly cut was two and a half hours, and editing brought it down to about 90 minutes with a focus on keeping scenes tight and coherent while preserving the dense, screen-life style.
