Developed from a short film of the same name, Donald Cried just had its World Premiere at SXSW. It's an example of a film made on a modest budget, using the most valuable resource we all (arguably) have access to: time. It takes time to develop a character; in this case, it was a four-year journey for writer/director/actor Kris Avedisian and his co-creators Jesse Wakeman and Kyle Espeleta.
No Film School sat down with Avedisian and Wakeman to chat about developing character, designing a realistic project, and getting the filmmaking snowball in motion.
NFS: What did you do create the sense of history between these characters?
Avedisian: People responded to the short, so it felt justified to explore more with these guys. We just worked on the script for so long and came up with details, backstories. The process to get there was just working out possible ideas.
