Hard to believe, but one year ago was our first day of principal photography! We were so incredibly fortunate to work with the BEST crew in Alabama. Sure, we had our stressful moments (as all films do), but overall it was an absolute blast and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Over the next few months we’ll be finishing up with post-production and getting ready to play at festivals. We can’t wait for you to see the hard work that everyone put in to this film! Stay tuned. by @ryankindahl

Alabama filmmakers Ryan Kindahl (based in Florence) and Dan King (based in Birmingham) have over twenty-five years of combined experience in the film industry. They are co-founders of the production company Obsolete Media and recently partnered to create the successful short “Last Request”.

This fall they are coming together again to film a feature in Birmingham. They’re creating a fantasy film in an 80s Amblin movie style. Although it has fantastical elements, at its core, it is a family drama about a son’s relationship with his father.

In our conversation they shared more about their journeys in the industry, their hopes for this film, and the future of filmmaking generally in our region.

Follow link in our bio to read the full conversation.

Incredibly honored and humbled that Last Request received Best Comedy and the Clyde “Sappo” Black Sweet Home Alabama Award from @lindseyfilmfest ! We had a blast screening in Florence again and meeting all of the other amazing filmmakers. Thank you to the organizers and staff at UNA for putting on such a great event!
