They talk about combining supernatural horror with queer romance, creating a monster that can only hurt you when you’re alone, Joe’s first leading role and how the filmmakers managed to pull off the film’s Frank Ocean needle drop. This is the first edition of Close-Up, a new series of shorter, focused conversations from Test Pattern with filmmakers about their latest work. Test Pattern is a podcast about movies and our relationship with them: first watches, deep cuts, lifelong obsessions and the films we build our personalities around.
