I'm Not Even Human is my first finished movie. Before that I had all kinds of projects and never finished them. Technically speaking I did finish a few directing works before I'm Not Even Human. Which includes a music video about which I don't want to talk about ( it's cringe ). And a small charity work that I did for a local synagogue. But I'm Not Even Human is my first actual finished narrative work that you can call a movie. Knowing that you can see I'm Not Even Human and think that it's maybe, actually quite okay. Thought, at this point I'm more of an opinion that I could do a lot better in a lot of areas.
This movie took me 3 years to produce. Thought, knowing my procrastinating nature, you can deduce that I could do that in far less of a time. And seeing the quality of the finish product confirms this deduction.
Having only a quarter of a million dollars, director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Tom Hardy decided to make a period piece based on true events. Just so you know, period pieces are usually far more expensive to make than contemporary films. And yet they had almost nothing, in terms of budget to pull this movie off. How the hell did they do that?
If you expect Baby Driver to be anything like Hot Fuzz. Don't! If you expect Baby Driver to be anything like Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Don't! If you expect Baby Driver to be anything like Last Night In Soho. Don't! The director of Baby Driver, Edgar Wright set for himself a challenge to make every next movie he does in a different genre. Therefor you get absolutely different effects from his movies. Even though there are obvious Edgar Wright tropes in every one of his movies.
