\n\tThe chaos, hard graft and \u2014\u00a0ultimately \u2014\u00a0privileged thrill of feature filmmaking were the central themes of conversation at the Variety<\/em> Lounge at Edinburgh International Film Festival as the rising directors in official competition sat down to discuss their craft.<\/p>\n

\n\tSupported by VisitScotland and held in Edinburgh\u2019s historic Caledonian Hotel, the Variety<\/em> Lounge welcomed the 11 directors behind the 10 films competing for the Sean Connery Prize for Feature Filmmaking Excellence. For all but three, the film was their feature debut, although that didn\u2019t stop them from immediately breaking the unwritten rules of directing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy film was shot entirely on water, and if you learn one thing \u2014 and I went to film academy \u2014 it\u2019s that if you don\u2019t have a big budget or masses of experience, don\u2019t shoot on water,\u201d admitted Dutch director Thom Lunshof, behind the post-apocalyptic sci-fi \u201cFirst Zone,\u201d adding that he found himself on day two of the shoot with \u201cdrowning actors, cameras falling into the sea and boats that sailed off into the horizon with my main actress on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut despite the chaos unfolding in front of him, Lunshof said it made him realize \u201chow special it was to do something like this for a first film. And we\u2019re still alive! We didn\u2019t drown!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tU.S. filmmaker Tyler-Marie Evans, whose debut \u201cPretty Babies\u201d tells the story of two aspiring Hollywood stars who get sucked into the adult industry, recalled \u201cone of the craziest shoot days\u201d where it dawned on her that she was, now, a feature film director.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe had an insane amount of pages \u2014 all these different motels in one day. And one of our actresses, Sadie Stanley, had a very intense scene. After she shot that she just collapsed in my arms, crying, like \u2018I gave you everything!\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I thought that was such a transcendental moment. It really reminds me why we do this and the stories that we create in that process of production, and what a privilege it is working as a director and connecting with your actors and hopefully audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Ollie Gardner and Jake Harvey, feature debut directors behind riotous tearjerker \u201cThe State of Us\u201d \u2014 about two old friends on a final night out \u2014 they were able to share the burden and excitement of making their first feature with each other.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re blessed that we got to do it together. We\u2019re best friends making a film about two best friends, so it kind of felt right to do it,\u201d said Harvey. \u201cIt\u2019s a hard thing to make independent film and your debut film. And there\u2019s a lot of battles that need to be fought and won, and you have to stay true to your vision and also compromise in every area that you need to. But when there\u2019s two of you that get to fight each other\u2019s battles and soundboard off constantly \u2014 it meant everything became a creative challenge rather than like a logistical challenge. But it was a lot of phone calls.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Gardner noted: \u201cI think our girlfriends are probably questioning our relationship!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile she didn\u2019t have a co-director to lean on, Canadian director Frieda Luk said she had the wise words of a friend in her mind while in production on \u201cSacred Creatures,\u201d a slice of magical realism set amid a family reunion in Italy. \u201cShe was like, \u2018Remember you are making a feature\u2026 be thankful for every shot you have\u2019,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd so after that, before I said \u2018action,\u2019 I would just look around the room and look at all the crew and all the cast and just say thank you to myself and the crew. And that really made me feel like, \u2018This is happening, I\u2019m supposed to be here and we\u2019re gonna get this done.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSimon Ryninks, behind sci-fi comedy-drama \u201cOut There,\u201d managed to land Welsh acting legend Michael Sheen for his debut feature, something that made him realize he was \u201creally having to step up,\u201d but was also an incredible honor.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[He\u2019s] someone who I wrote a part for and we somehow miraculously got him in this film. And I think working with someone like that is such a privilege,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a kind of masterclass in watching him work and seeing a performer embody a role like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tU.S. filmmaker Lindsey Ryan noted that there was something particularly special in being in Edinburgh to showcase her feature debut \u201cCapsized,\u201d following a dysfunctional family on boating holiday, as it was here where she got the call that her pitch was getting the green light. \u201cThis is one of my favorite cities. And we just happened to be here on vacation,\u201d she said. \u201cSo it feels very surreal and sort of serendipitous that this is where we\u2019re going to premiere the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn making \u201cSnapshot,\u201d a found-footage horror sent in Jack the Ripper era London, Brit Joseph Archer found himself in the unusual situation for debut director of having to negotiate filming locations with Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re this really small team \u2014 and I was the cinematographer as well as the director \u2014 and we\u2019d start shooting for about 30 minutes and then this whole circus of Netflix would turn up,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019d be like, \u2018We\u2019ve got permission to be here.\u2019 And I\u2019d be like \u2018Well, we\u2019ve also got permission to be here.\u2019 So we\u2019d then be negotiating with Netflix to be like, \u2018OK, you shoot on that side of the graveyard and we\u2019ll shoot on this side.\u2019 So that was a very different experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of the few filmmakers in the lineup with a couple of director credits already to his name, Kieran J. Walsh \u2014 behind the drug-fueled and music-soaked Northern Irish drama \u201cSkintown\u201d \u2014 reflected on making the seismic leap from shorts to features, something all the directors had experienced.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cA feature film is like \u2018Fitzcarraldo,\u2019 I felt like I was dragging a boat up a hill,\u201d he said. \u201cBut everybody else was dragging it with me \u2014 and some people were pushing from the back, and we were going to get that boat right up on top of that hill, and hopefully you don\u2019t slide down the other side. But there was an energy between everybody coming together, and particularly on this film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor all the Werner Herzog references, Walsh noted that while feature filmmaking may be \u201ctough,\u201d he \u201cjust couldn\u2019t do anything else at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was a sentiment echoed across the lineup of Edinburgh competition directors, who, whatever struggles they may have faced in making their films, were all keen to get straight back behind the camera on their next feature (Evans noted that she\u2019d \u201cjust wrapped her second feature last week.\u201d)<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an addiction,\u201d said Paul Wright, director of \u201cMission,\u201d an intense study of isolation and mental illness led by George Mackay (and his second feature with the actor, who appeared in his 2013 debut \u201cFor Those in Peril\u201d and won a BAFTA Scotland award in the process). \u201cIt\u2019s about that idea that keeps you awake at night and keeps you writing on notebooks. So I\u2019ve got two or three different new ones bubbling away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe only documentarian in competition, Canadian filmmaker Bart Simpson \u2014 behind the film \u201cThe Mad World of Harvey Kurtzman,\u201d about the founder of Mad Magazine \u2014 said that the trials and tribulations of putting together an unscripted feature were just as tough as making a narrative film.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI know people who\u2019ve been working on a film for 12 years. Luckily this took maybe eight, but it\u2019s still in the same realm,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I think the \u2018what\u2019s the next film?\u2019 is always the question that we love to hear and also kind of dread to answer right now, because we\u2019re just happy that this one is out. I look forward to hearing what everybody\u2019s going to be making after this. But I also look forward to seeing what you\u2019ve gotten in the can.\u201d<\/p>\n
