Making The Devil & Me

The Devil & me from Kenny Condon on Vimeo.

Kenneth Condon's THE DEVIL & ME is July's Surprise Prize winner for best surprise ending.

His story of making the trailer:

About a week before filming the trailer, I tried to think of the best way to approach it because there is so much wanted to tell. I dislike trailers that give the entire plot away in 2 minutes. So I went into the filming process with the thought of "leaving the audience wanting more" but at the same time displaying a solid body to the story. The story focuses on an 11 year old girl and her family. It was interesting writing the script because you need to adapt to the way a child thinks, what they would say or do in certain situations. The girl, named Abby, ends up running into the jersey devil. The jersey devil is a local legend around where i live in Southern New Jersey. I found the stories of this creature interesting and decided to try and spin the tale in a different light, giving it a more a a broader scale to where people can relate to it no matter where you live. It was a blast filming the trailer. It's cool to see your ideas and concepts finally come alive. Hopefully, one day the whole story of THE DEVIL & ME will be told.
