“I knew deep down if I don’t do this, I’ll never be able to truly live my life.”
Sloane U’Ren primarily works in the art department on major feature films like Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Batman Begins, and Being John Malkovich. She had been wanting to direct a feature, though. She and her composer husband, Ant Neely, had written the script for Dimensions: A Line, a Loop, a Tangle of Thread and instead of struggling for years to find the funding, sold their house and made it on their own – likely with a lot of favors called in as well. So was it worth it? Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we add to our 10 Year Anniversary series our October 2021 member bonus episode – U’Ren’s film Dimensions.
Dimensions is a good example of making sure you have a solid script before making the film.
This independent production has great production design, which clearly shows U’Ren’s knowledge coming through. Unfortunately, the story never—Hold on there!
