Bad Vibrations Writer/Director Nicole Delprado and Annabel Maclean Talking About Flickerfest and Creating Tension with a Theramine in This Interview
Manage episode 395920642 series 2383701
Australian horror is experiencing something of a renaissance at the moment with the box office boom of Talk to Me, and the critical success of Godless, Monolith, You'll Never Find Me, Birdeater, and so many more. As we leave 2023 in the dust and we head into 2024, we want to start the year by continuing this celebration of ocker horror with the new short film Bad Vibrations, which makes its world premiere at Flickerfest on Saturday January 20 in the Best of Australian Shorts bunch. Writer/Director Nicole Delprado brings this one-shot horror flick to life, where one housemate (Erica Long) gifts the other housemate (Annabel Maclean) a music book for her to play on her theramine. As she plays one of the songs, she unknowingly summons a demonic force in their house.
In the following interview, Nicole and Annabel talk about how they met each other and where the idea of using a theramin as a source of terror came from (shout out to Moog Synthesizers for their support to Bad Vibrations). They also explore how they plotted out the path of the one shot with cinematographer Stephanie Furdek, alongside the other creative challenges they faced with the format. It's clear through this interview that both Nicole and Annabel have an immense amount of support and enthusiasm for each others work which adds to their support for the film community around them. Across the deep dive discussion, we also talk about the place of Australian horror in the future, as well as how they both see themselves in the emerging landscape of Australian filmmaking creatives.
Bad Vibrations is an inventive and entertaining horror short that shows a group of emerging Australian creatives on the rise.
