Q&A: Bedlamer

Q&A: Bedlamer
With Alexa Jane Jerrett

How did this film come together?
With the indispensable support from our friends at NIFCO (Picture Start), Telefilm, PictureNL, ArtsNL, and, of course, the Canada Council for the Arts. Our cast and crew of ~25 went out to Trinity for four days of filming at the beautiful Random Passage Site.

Did anything unexpected happen as you were making this film?
We faced a tremendous amount of obstacles during this shoot - some that I cannot share without giving our producer a heart attack.

What's the best filmmaking advice you've ever received?
Justin Simms: "Don't dilute yourself."

Is there anything else you'd like to add?
The film stars the talented Rhiannon Morgan — and the rest of the cast are non-actors! They're close friends and family making their on-screen debuts. Also, I actually didn't watch the Lighthouse before making this film.
