Art Film Talk #22 Zev Berman, Borderland
November 9th, 2007
Zev Berman co-wrote and directed Borderland, which opens today (Friday November 9, 2007) as part of the 8 Films to Die For Horror Fest taking place in 350 theaters throughout the United States. The film, based on true events, tells the story of three Americans on a road-trip south of the border who tangle with a cult practicing human sacrifice. We talk about the origins of the project, genre issues, casting, and the cinematographic techniques behind the look of the film. Borderland is his second feature-length film.

What a fascinating interview. Hearing Zev talk about his experience helped me appreciate Borderland more (I just saw the movie last night. The film's ending was excellent).

Listening to the interview motivated me to get out to Culver City to see Borderland during the last weekend of the AfterDark Horrofest. In fact I went on to watch all 8 films over the course of the weekend. Thanks for inspiring me to get out there and attend the fest!
I enjoyed the podcast discussion of the film stock choices-having that insight really enriched the experience of watching the film. And I also enjoyed the questions of genre that were discussed and considering that in light of the other films in the fest. Great stuff!
