Exclusive Clip and Interview: Dementia Part II Coming May 21
In this episode, Jason chats with Matt Mercer and Mike Testin, the writers and directors of Dementia Part II, which comes to theaters on May 21.
Dementia Part II tells the story of Matt Mercer's character Wendell, a parolee who takes a handyman job working for an old woman whose tasks get more and more dark and bizarre.
The background of the movie is as striking as the story. Explain the producers:
Dementia Part II was completed on a dare from conception to its world premiere screening at Cinepocalypse Film Festival by the writer/director team Matt Mercer and Mike Testin (The Salesman, Dementia) in just 5 weeks! Dementia Part II stars Matt Mercer (Contracted, Bliss, Beyond the Gates), Graham Skipper (Almost Human, Sequence Break, VFW), Najarra Townsend (Contracted, The Stylist), and Suzanne Voss (The Lords of Salem, Dementia).
The directors explain in the chat that such a schedule actually helped them develop new skills in creative planning and decision-making.
The producers passed along an exclusive clip from the film featuring Mercer and costar Najarra Townsend discussing the sanity of Mercer's new employer when they make a grisly discovery.
