4.12-Filmmaker Interview with Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski
Q: Any books or sources you've returned to recently that influenced your work?
Pessoa's Book of Disquiet and Christie's Nemesis were cited as sources of obsessive, intricate storytelling that informs their approach to mood, mystery, and character delineation.
4.12-Filmmaker Interview with Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski
Q: If you could invite any three movie characters to a dinner party, who would they be and why?
We'd choose Harry Lime from The Third Man for crime-era wit, Orson Welles' larger-than-life persona, Barbara Stanwyck for sharp humor and intelligence, and Inspector Clouseau for playful chaos and fun.
4.12-Filmmaker Interview with Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski
Q: What were some of the biggest challenges in creating that world for the characters?
The biggest challenges were balancing the extended stop-motion timeline with constructing convincing sets and props, plus ensuring sound and music work hand-in-hand with visuals to suspend disbelief that the puppets are alive.
4.12-Filmmaker Interview with Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski
Q: Tell me a little bit about what the inspiration for this story was.
We traced the idea back to a moment during the Madame Tootley Pootley shoot when a disruption caused pearls to spill, which alongside dramatic tears sparked a Hans Christian Andersen-inspired notion that evolved into the Pearls story.
4.47-Filmmaker Interview with Javier Cano Larumbe
Q: What was the inspiration for the film and tackling it in this way?
Larumbe discusses personal experiences with his parents' divorce shaping the film's emotional core, and explains using horror as a vehicle to dramatize family conflict and inner child perspectives.
