Michael Sikkema on “Double Features”

This series of film treatments/flash reviews for imaginary films came about from a game I play with my wife, usually on walks. We will spot a place that would be great for a horror movie scene, or hear dialogue that would work well and then we kind of riff on those ideas, bringing up ideas about soundtracks and actors and the like. Often these imaginary films end up with titles and taglines and the whole nine yards. For this series, I kinda tried that on my own, with compression in mind, wanting to squeeze in all the necessities. Minimalism seemed like a good foil for the excess that I enjoy in film.
