``A Ghost Story'' A cute and profound fantasy story, why it was produced in secret *Spoiler alert

A project that escaped public attention and expectations and was prepared to fail.

According to an interview with IndieWire, director David Lowery jokingly referred to the film as `` Apichatpong Weerasethakul 's remake of `` Beetlejuice '' when the idea was first conceived.'' . In fact, at that time he had no idea what kind of work this would be, or whether it could even be made into a movie. In short, it is an experimental work.

But, perhaps instinctively, he finally finished the color adjustment for the Disney film ` `Pete's Secret Friends '' (2016) and, less than two days after the film was completed, the project was completed in an extremely rare condition.・The camera for ``Ghost Story'' was starting to roll. That too in secret. Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, who became good friends in ` `Saints' ' (13), were also present at the scene. Without knowing the details, they had traveled to the site without telling their agents, just wanting to work on something with Director Lowry.

In the typical movie business, when a project is launched, funding is often collected by measuring the value of the rights in the market. This work seems to go against that trend, with an emphasis on simply starting the camera and shooting while creating.

Why? According to director Lowry, ``I wanted to make this film free from the pressure of public attention and expectations.'' I see, the freedom to fail is essential to experiments. There you can see an insatiable creative spirit that goes beyond business. They were able to secure the funds and space on their own, creating an environment in which they were not afraid of failure. The bold yet delicate texture of this work is probably the result of this special stance.
