GRIM ALL DAY | 2 perf 200T & 500T 35mm
“When we first started talking about the visual language for Grim, we spoke a lot about finding a a way to represent a certain darkness in the project. We came to this term ‘ugly-beautiful’ our goal was to create images which had a sort of uncanny appeal to them, relying on shadow, muddy colors; burgundy, brown, green, etc - creating a sort of irresistible tone that was simultaneously off putting.” Director Dylan Pailes-Friedman @dylan_p.f
“We tried out a new format that I’ve never seen anyone use before. I had some leftover short ends from the feature I shot earlier that year. We didn’t have a ton, but we both felt like 1.33 was the right aspect ratio for the story. So, we ended up shooting in 2 perf and cropping it to 1.33. It sounds a bit crazy, but it made sense given the free stock we had. We both loved the texture we ended up with — an in-between 16mm and 35mm. It also gave us a significantly larger film plane than 16mm would have. It really aligned well with the visual world we wanted to create for this film.” DP Mika Altskan @mikaaltskan
