Mike, can you tell us your experience premiering Oculus at tiff 2013? I recently saw Perri Nemiroff’s interview with you (looking like a baby btw- so young) and it made me think about what your mindset must have been as in getting yo experience the launch of your career, post Absentia, at one of the most prestigious festivals.
Oh, I remember that very well... a lot changed in a very short amount of time. And I think I know the interview you're talking about, I keep trying to link to it here but it doesn't take...
So there are few things to point out about Oculus and about what was happening in my life at the time. When Oculus got greenlit, I was working full time as a reality television editor. I used to sneak out of my job at lunch to go to "doctor's appointments" whenever I had to come for production meetings or casting sessions (they started to think there was something really, really wrong with my health).
Making the movie was an amazing learning experience - it was my first "real" movie, and full of lessons. It was the first collaboration with people who would become pillars of my career moving forward, like producer Trevor Macy (who is now my partner at Intrepid Pictures and who has produced everything I've ever made since) and my DP Michael Fimognari, who is one of the most important collaborators of my life. It was also the first time I worked with a young actress named Kate Siegel, who played the spooky ghost in the mirror.
We went into TIFF with distribution already in place. FilmDistrict had committed to the project during the Cannes market before we shot the movie, so we thought we were set. It was going to be my big theatrical debut.
Just before we premiered at TIFF, FilmDistrict abruptly and bafflingly dropped the film. I still don't really know why. They had committed to a worldwide theatrical release for the movie, but for reasons that were never made entirely clear to me, they dropped us just before the festival. Suddenly the whole enterprise was in jeopardy, and I didn't know if anyone would pick the movie back up.
I was absolutely terrified.
Being my first "real" movie, I didn't really know how this world worked and couldn't understand why our distributor didn't want to release it. We'd made the movie they had been excited about, they seemed to really like it, and we'd done everything they asked - it was a shock to the system. So when we rolled into tiff, we were homeless and trying not to let FilmDistrict's abrupt change of heart poison our chances of another sale.
I had never been to TIFF before but heard about Midnight Madness, which had seen huge sales from Cabin Fever and Insidious. Bidding wars had broken out while the films were still screening. But being part of the program was absolutely no guarantee of distribution - in fact, this might be the highest this movie would ever rise.
Trevor Macy and I went to the world premiere of The Green Inferno, which was playing the night before we played, and the audience was ROWDY. Like, shouting and hollering throughout the movie. We looked at each other with wide, nervous eyes - if this was the Midnight Madness audience, they were going to hate our movie the next day. We were considerably slower, ponderous, and atmospheric in a room that seemed to demand visceral, overt entertainment. I left the screening feeling dejected and a little doomed. Trevor was more upbeat, citing conversations he'd had with the programmer, Colin Geddes, who assured us he'd put our movie in the best possible spot for its success.
Our screening was September 9th, 2013 at midnight. I was petrified, and we were sold out. I remember walking into the theater feeling like this was the most important screening of my life. I wasn't alone, thank goodness. Trevor Macy, Michael Fimognari, Brenton Thwaites, Katee Sackhoff, Rory Cochrane, and James Lafferty were on hand.
The film seemed to play well. It was the opposite of the screening the night before, which Colin had told us would happen - "watch," he had said. "The Saturday night slot is the big crazy one. You guys are Sunday, and it's going to be completely different. They'll plug right in."
He was right. You could hear a pin drop for most of the first half, and then there were moments of scattered applause that picked up as the film progressed. By the end, people were jumping in their seats and cheering for young Tim and Kaylee. There was an audible gasp when the anchor swung. And the applause at the credits seemed heartfelt and loud.
Most of that is a blur for me. I found this grainy pic from the Q&A after the film. I still had no idea how it had gone, or what was going to come out of it. I remember having hard time putting words together, and I vividly recall feeling like I sounded like an absolute moron whenever I talked, and trying to pass the microphone over to the actors as often as I could.
It's tough to see everyone in the pic, but from left to right it is Colin Geddes, Michael Fimognari, myself, Trevor Macy, Katee Sackhoff, Brenton Thwaites, Rory Cochrane, and James Lafferty.
When I stepped out of the theater, though, I became aware that everything had changed. I was immediately surrounded by people who had seen the film, suddenly shaking a ton of hands and realizing that it had been a hit. I walked into the theater by myself, utterly anonymous, and feeling every bit like an imposter. But everything was different when I walked out. I remember someone from the press talking about it years later, and saying "I was there that night - you walked into the theater with nothing, and walked out with a career."
People were asking me to sign stuff. That had never happened in my life. People wanted to get pictures. It was SO. FUCKING. WEIRD.
Someone snapped a picture during that little whirlwind, and you can see it on my (young, skinny, hopelessly naive) face - an overall bewilderment, a gentle disbelief that this was happening:
I loved my experience at TIFF. And it absolutely started everything. Relativity, Blumhouse, and WWE Films joined forces to make an offer on the movie at the festival, and we left with a theatrical distribution deal. My career had officially begun. Now, I wouldn't feel like it had for several more years - I remained in fight/flight/survival mode well through Gerald's Game - but in retrospect, yes, that's when it happened.
Thank you for asking this question, it's been a while since I've looked back at this period of my life. It kinda makes me want to watch that movie again. It has been a LONG time, and I owe it a lot.
Maybe everything.

I like to think of myself as a ‘secondary character’ type person. Not in a self deprecating way, but in a more ‘let the protagonist take the epic highs and lows’ kind of way. But sometimes the envy eats me up. I know the lesson there is that for big wins you have to risk big losses, but that doesn’t feel fair. I want to be important for the sake of it. I want something to be a part of because I am wanted.

Dear mother
When exactly am I meant to be getting thinner?
When was I mean to learn to read your mind? I got good for a while, but I think I’ve forgotten how.
Dear mother
How am I supposed to disagree with you? You say it’s allowed but when I do, you are upset.
What am I supposed to do with these clothes that do not fit, that you made me buy?
Dear mother
Why are you allowed to speak to me with such disdain, to be so embarrassed of me?
Why do you swear you love me but dislike me so obviously?
Dear mother
Who am I to be upset, when I can see you trying so hard?
Who are you to tell me how I do and do not feel?
Dear mother
Once I told you I was crying because I was scared of you. You screamed at me even louder.
Once you told me if the food made me sick, you would make me swallow it.
Once, we had upset you, and you told me if we didn’t love you enough then you would go and find a new family
Dear mother
Sometimes I wish you had.
Dear mother
Did you know, you’ve apologised for it three times? You spent two years going through my phone, but you can’t even remember admitting to it.
Dear mother
Congratulations on never hitting me, like your mother did you. It was a low bar, but by all means display it like a trophy on your highest shelf.
Dear mother
Ignore all the other damage you did.
Dear mother
Can you hear yourself? Do you ever take a moment to consider the things you say?
Dear mother
You’re not as good a liar as you think you are.
Dear mother
Your foot is perpetually in your mouth.
Dear mother
I wish I could remember the good things you say and do. I wish they were louder than the bad.
Dear mother
Do you realise I am sat here crying?
Dear mother
I would tell you, but it would somehow be my fault, never yours.
Dear mother
I am sorry I’m so embarrassing. I’m sorry I bring you such shame.
Dear mother
Did you know, all my self doubt, all my loathing, started with you?
Dear mother
I’m sorry for our shared body, I’m sorry that you hate it so much.
Dear mother
I’m sorry for all the ways I’m like my father.
Dear mother
I am not your husband.
Dear mother
You can get a divorce any time you want, you know. If you hate him, you don’t have to stay. No one is forcing you.
Dear mother
You never should have had children. But that’s not your fault. But also, it is.
Dear mother
Dear mother
Dear mother
These are things I can never say aloud. One day it might drive me mad.
Dear mother
I will never be a mother.
Dear mother

Pearl (dir. Ti West) x TIFF 2022.
Actress Mia Goth (also a co-writer) and [...] West both return to the slasher world of X (released earlier this year) in the blood-soaked, WWI-era origin story [...]. As a prequel about one of the previous film’s elderly homicidal farmhouse villains in the 1970s also played by Goth in heavy makeup and prosthetics, we see her as a young woman getting the taste for killing.

Last Line - Catchup edition!
A lovely thank you toooooo @mysticstarlightduck (x2) here and here, @ybotter here, and @sentfromwolves (x2) here and here!
Quickly tagging @winterandwords @mysticstarlightduck @fleurtygurl @innocenthedgehog @waltzshouldbewriting @bellascarousel
And because there were three of you, how about three last lines?
Last line I worked on for Abracadabra:
I took a breath. Held it. Let it out. “Deal.” also literally followed by the sentence: [[OH DUH HIS INFO IS LAYLA AND WHERE SHE IS AND ALL THAT DUHHHHHH]]
Last line I did in Midnight Madness:
"However, until you are willing to tell us the truth and not a mix of myth and cleverly-constructed falsehoods…” he gestured to the guards behind him. “We will have to postpone this conversation until a later date.”
Last line(s) I wrote in my worldbuilding wordvomit:
Some of the plants thrive on nutrients carried in the fog and create pockets of thinned areas
Reeds and cattails
Mangroves in the middle

sometimes I feel so unbelievably hollow. I don’t know how else to describe it. All I do is eat and sleep and work and save money and when I’m not working I’m running headfirst into escapism of the week. It’s not even like I’m trying not to drown, I’m just floating on my back in the water. And the more I escape the more hollow I feel, the more I dream and dream of new places for me to go that aren’t just… here. Reality is so grey and lifeless and dull, and I have my dreams and my hopes and I want to work towards them but I’m just so tired that when I have time I just want to bury my head in another world and pretend reality isn’t happening. There’s an ever present pain wedged up under my ribs, I think it’s heartache but I’m not completely sure. I know other people must feel it but no one ever talks about it. The painful ache pushing from within that puts a lump in my throat and makes me want to cry. Im so tired all the time. I don’t understand the point of all this, of why I should keep going. I cannot logically explain why I should go on existing. I know we are all worthy of the space we take up but I am just so big for my little bit of space and I can never relax because I’m always so close to the precipice. I want to go home. I want to go home but I don’t know where that is, or how to get there. Im lonely, even though I don’t want to ever really admit that. It feels like weakness, like a wound to my pride. Being ace but still experiencing romantic attraction is a head fuck, (haha) because it’s a hurdle no one has been able to get passed. And this aching hollow in me just keeps hurting, not sharp, but the kind of constant thrum of pain that you just get used to eventually. And I keep trying to escape it. And that makes it hurt worse. So I try a little harder. And the spiral goes on. Im so tired of working and waiting and I just want to rest. But I feel like I’m already sleepwalking. I just want that something to come along that will make me actually want to participate in my own life, instead of just drifting through it like some kind of ghost, forced to haunt myself. Anyway. Back to escapism of the week.
