Mike Flanagan’s missing persons, horror feature Absentia does away with cheap jump scares in favour of a character study on the tolls absence takes on those left behind, with some deftly executed ‘less is more’ frights to boot. Mike joins us to discuss building a film from your available resources and keeping an audience engaged and entertained even during the funding stages.

Selling the movie is the only thing that’s going to really help you make another one.
