Talking with Michael and Shawn Rasmussen

A few weeks ago I attended the 2023 Boston Underground Film Festival and the Opening Night Film was Jeffrey A. Brown’s The Unheard, which just premiered on Shudder. What got my attention about this, was screenwriters / producers Michael and Shawn Rasmussen.

2023 Boston Underground Film Festival: Michael, Shawn and Jeffrey during the Q&A with BUFF Artistic Director Kevin Monahan

The Brothers Rasmussen have become friends of mine over the last decade though the Boston film scene. 2005′s underrated Long Distance was co-written by them. Then they wrote 2010′s institution thriller The Ward, which was John Carpenter’s first movie he directed in about 10 years. Then they wrote and directed 2013′s Dark Feed, a horror movie about a movie crew filming in a scary location. They wrote and directed the indie horror film The Inhabitants (I was lucky enough to attend the private cast/crew/friends screening in 2015). Then they co-wrote Alexandre Aja’s Crawl (one of my 10 Best Movies of 2019). With The Unheard, Michael and Shawn have created a psychological horror film that was one of the highlights of this year’s BUFF. Plus it was filmed in Boston and Cape Cod. I recently got the chance to talk to Michael and Shawn while we both were attending BUFF.

Me: I’ve hung out with you both many times over the years at BUFF, sat next to you at screenings, and hung out at festival parties. This year you had the Opening Night Film with The Unheard. What was that like for you guys?

Michael: It was pretty awesome. It was surreal.

Shawn: We’ve always wanted a movie at BUFF, but to have a movie as the Opening Night at the festival was unbelievable. It wasn’t something we expected to happen, it was just a huge surprise when our director [Jeffrey A. Brown] reached out and said “Hey guys, the film is going to be at BUFF and it’s going to open the festival” and we were just stoked.

Me: I’m sincerely happy for you guys. Something I’ve talked to you about with Crawl is that the house was like a character in and of itself. In The Unheard, there is something similar in that the house is like a character. Is that something intentional you were thinking about throughout the writing process?

Michael: Well, maybe less the house and more the Cape. We had stayed out on the Cape in the off season, especially in the Outer Cape (Wellfleet and Truro area), it’s kind of a spooky setting for a horror film. And the way sound travels out there. That time of year when no one’s around, it seems a little different, so we thought would be a great place for a horror film. So the Cape was something we were trying to make a character...in the script at least.

Shawn: We were always feeling it would be cool to shoot a film in Wellfleet in the off season.

Michael and Shawn

Me: Looking at your filmography: you’ve written something for someone else to direct like The Ward, you’ve gotten the financing in order to direct your own micro-budget films like The Inhabitants, and developed a project with a director like Crawl. Do you guys like where you’re are at this time in your career where you can write and produce The Unheard, work closely with the director and film in Massachusetts for a Shudder production?

Shawn: Well, yeah on this one we are producers, but the way we like to put is we are kind of more creative producers. So it’s more in the development, working with the director in the pre-production. Whereas when we were directing stuff, we were on the ground doing the physical production. So where we are at is more focusing on the creative producing part of it and working with visionary directors like Jeffrey, who when we spoke to Jeff the first time we knew he had a vision for our story that was unique and that he was passionate about. We had seen The Beach House and said this is someone we’d love to work with and see what he would bring to one of our stories, because it’s a very collaborative medium.

Michael: Yeah, I think every time we’ve ever worked with a director they’ve always brought something to the project, whether it was Aja, Jeffrey or Carpenter - they kind of elevated what we already had on the page. We love working with great directors, it makes our job easier [laughs].

Me: Between 2007 and 2012, I worked at AMC Networks in their post and media services department. A few years after I left is when they launched Shudder. In the early years it was mostly streaming the horror and genre movies that they had, but then they actually got into producing some films, which is great for targeting that audience and knowing your film is going to reach the audience you want to see this. What’s it been like working with Shudder?

Michael: It’s awesome, I’m a subscriber. Shawn and I are. So it’s exciting to know when we go in to look at new releases on there, we’re going to see something that we wrote and produced.

Shawn: They are really filmmaker-friendly. There’s a lot of filmmakers that we know that are doing original projects for Shudder and they are really supporting the filmmaker’s vision. I think Jeff felt that tremendously on The Unheard. They are very auteur-driven and very much supportive of whatever the filmmaker vision is of that project.

2023 BUFF - Dispatch #1

Green’s Party is proud to be covering the 2023 Boston Underground Film Festival, which kicked off last night at the Brattle Theatre (Cambridge, MA). I’ve been lucky enough to cover the festival since 2016 (the fest took off in 2020 and 2021, and I was unable to attend 2022).

me at the Boston Underground Film Festival red carpet!

Last night I went to the Brattle Theatre and I actually got to sit next to my Cruising In The Van Productions chair in the 5th row! The Opening Night Film was The Unheard. Jeffrey A. Brown’s follow up to The Beach House is set to premiere on Shudder later this month, but the Massachusetts-filmed psychological horror film had it’s World Premiere at BUFF. What got my attention about this, was screenwriters / producers Michael and Shawn Rasmussen. Full disclosure: The Brothers Rasmussen have become friends of mine over the last decade though the Boston film scene. 2005′s underrated Long Distance was co-written by them. Then they wrote 2010′s institution thriller The Ward, which was John Carpenter’s first movie he directed in about 10 years. Then they wrote and directed 2013′s Dark Feed, a horror movie about a movie crew filming in a scary location. They wrote and directed the indie horror film The Inhabitants (I was lucky enough to attend the private cast/crew/friends screening in 2015). Then they co-wrote Alexandre Aja’s Crawl (one of my 10 Best Movies of 2019).

But I digress. In The Unheard, we meet Chloe a young woman who undergoes an experimental procedure to restore hearing loss. She then goes to her family home in Cape Cod. She is haunted by memories she had as a child. That home was the last place she saw her mother before she went missing. She starts having auditory hallucinations and it’s not clear if that is related to the recent procedure or if strange things really are happening in the off-season of this Cape Cod home. This slow burn is a film I’m super glad I saw on the big screen as the Brattle just installed a killer new sound system. The sound design in this movie is off the charts and there’s a VHS element to this film was is creepy and haunting. Lead actor Lachlan Watson (NOTE: the actor goes by they, the character goes by she) gives one of the best horror movie performances in recent memory (up there with Mia Goth in Pearl and the cast of Nope). Also need to mention supporting actor Nick Sandow, known for his comedic tendencies on Orange is the New Black, here he really leans into this dramatic role as a former cop turned handy-man for the property. Highly recommend watching this with headphones on and not doing anything else while watching it.

Michael, Shawn and Jeffrey during the Q&A with BUFF Artistic Director Kevin Monahan.

The film was followed by a Q&A with Brown and the Rasmussens. Afterwards I hung out with them at the after-party. Good times!

Tonight: Films include Stand By for Failure, Spaghetti Junction, and Smoking Causes Coughing.

Stay tuned to Green’s Party for my coverage of this year’s fest!

Batman and Robin and Howard Return for Summer Break

Jeffrey Brown is returning to Batman and Robin and Howard with a new middle grade graphic novel - Batman and Robin and Howard: Summer Breakdown.

"Summer is in session, and that means all the neighborhood patrols, soccer games, and snacks Damian and Howard can handle. But things take an unexpected turn when a new group of heroes, known as the Hero Club, approaches the boys with an unusual offer—an invitation to help unmask the corporation planning to build a recycling factory in their favorite park. Together, they hope to recruit the help of Metropolis’s favorite reporter, Lois Lane.

As if that weren’t enough, Batman has been acting strangely and disappearing for stretches of time. And there are ninjas everywhere…What could possibly be going on?" (DC Comics)

Batman and Robin and Howard: Summer Breakdown goes on sale on September 3, 2024.
