It Lives in the Screen is being produced by Count the Clock – an independent production company that has been producing shorts, music videos, and music for years. Count the Clock was founded by Zach Lorkiewicz – the writer/director of It Lives in the Screen, and is co-run by Michael Coe, who is creating the film’s soundtrack.
We have covered four of Count the Clock‘s previous productions here on Nevermore Horror, namely Loveless, The Ghost House, The Knock, and The Night Jane Went Insane with my personal favourite still being The Knock. Each was great for different reasons but we have covered all these shorts due to a consistentcy is the quality of the productions and their desire to push the genre forward; unafraid of pushing the envelope.
The pitch video above will do a far better job of expalining the production company, the plot, and the vision. At the time of posting, the project is roughly halfway funded with 18 days still to go. I’d personally love to see that goal reached as we really, at this point, deserve a feature-length film.
The director had this to say on the choice to crowdfund and the concepts behind the film:
“It Lives in the Screen is a reflection of my life in Los Angeles, and all the people I have seen come and go. For years, I have lived & worked with struggling musicians, models, and artists. I’ve made dozens of short films, music videos, and fashion films, and feel it is time to take the next step in my career.
I also think this subject is very topical right now – the relationship of art, technology, and human emotion are increasingly relevant in the era of nascent AI. How will these technological advances impact art, and our relationships to ourselves and those around us? It Lives in the Screen seeks to explore these questions and ideas.
The industry at the moment is increasingly afraid to take chances on new ideas, which is why independent film is so important. These funds will allow us to make a film that is both topical and unlike anything currently out.
