Jade Yurich and Jamie Hegland’s 'Figures' is in the post-production phase and nearing readiness for its big-screen debut
Jade Yurich and Jamie Hegland’s “visceral action short” with “high energy, thrilling combat” is nearing the finishing line.“We submitted our festival screener for judges but we’re just doing some last-minute colour revisions for the final theatrical to add a mood and emotional vibe. We need to get right for our audience to get the fullest visceral impact.”
Although the test audience feedback has been very positive, Hegland noted that many of the viewers wanted even more of the back story than a short format film can provide. “Now, after it’s been accepted into numerous festivals and won some awards, I take it all back. I feel very confident in our film and the intent that we originally set out with it.”“When you’re striving for something perfect, the reality is that it’ll never be ‘perfect.’ You really do need to just let it go out into the world and do its thing.”“We are excited to bring this film home and showcase it in the city we grew up in,” says Hegland.
In addition to the Sault Film Festival, the team has submitted applications to 50 film festivals from all around the world, with more applications to come in the new year.
