Josh (@joshstifter) randomly reached out to me to offer a chance to check out his new film GREYWOOD’S PLOT.
This is an interview I did with him a couple days after the viewing. Enjoy!

Where did the inspiration for Greywood's Plot come from?
Josh Stifter (@joshstifter , JS):
Bunch of shit! I had this idea for a movie where Daniel plays a "doctor Frankenstein" type character and turns me into a spiderman. That was the original concept

I also had this short I wrote about 4 friends that go camping to try to film a Chupacabra and get attacked by zombies (wrote that before the whole Dawn of the Dead/Shawn of the dead zombie movie craze started and sorta' lost the drive to do it).

Then I got a job working on Kevin Smith's Tusk and it made me go, I should go back and do my spider man movie!
But I just go so busy I didn't get around to it. Then I turned 30 and realized I still had never made a feature, literally the only thing on my bucket list.
But I just go so busy I didn't get around to it. Then I turned 30 and realized I still had never made a feature, literally the only thing on my bucket list.
So I said fuck it and for my 31st birthday me and 3 friends went out and started filming it and failed terribly... we didn't really have a full script and it was just awful.
Then I made The Good Exorcist on Rebel Without A Crew and learned a bunch and went "let's try again" so I started writing the script and it just kind of mutated into what it is.
Sprocket_Blvd (S_B):
Wait a sec, you worked on Tusk?! What'd you do?
Josh Stifter (@joshstifter , JS):
As far as "style" inspiration - Ed Wood movies, classic monster movies... one huge inspiration was this Island of Dr Moreau rip off called Terror is a Man.

Yeah! I did animation for it. I did promo animations and then animation that was eventually cut from the movie.
S_B:
Damn man. I too have a spectacular film failure. And it only cost me about $5k. Were there any ramifications of that initial failure? What was the timeline for that?

JS:
Yeah... I mean, we have to fail to make it... it just sucks when it costs us money. Luckily I hadn't spent much and was able to use a lot of the footage from that first failure in the final movie.

S_B:
Gotcha. So is that why some of the shots look like they were filmed on two different cams?
JS:
The failure was Sept 2016, TGE was 2017, the reshooting was 2018 and then I finished the movie for film fests in 2019.
...maybe? Although they weren't...

I just got better.
I mean, a lot of that might be less that they look like different cams and the illusion of it because I learned how to direct better, I knew how to light better, I had a plan for shots, etc.
It was all filmed on the a6300.

Wow. Really? Speaking of cams can you tell me what the stack was?
Cam/audio/lights/tripod/slider/etc you know the stuff indie film folk love to see.

JS:
Sony a6300 for cam, Zoom F4 with a couple Sennheiser LAVs and shot, lights were two fuckin' 1x1 Newegg lights... Not even sure what they are... tripod is nothin' fancy really. Slider was some cheap ass slider from amazon I got for Xmas from my mother-in-law.

Lenses... Sony brands mostly. A 50mm prime... a 24-80 zoom (something like that), and then a 14mm Rokninon
I used the Sony because my friends suck at focus so I had to use autofocus for a lot of it to make sure they were getting it.

Did you shoot in 4k? I think the a6300 does 4k...

They still fucked up a lot of shots though HAHAHA.
Yeah, shot 4k finished in 2k.

On a first viewing I didn't notice anything super wild as far as focus being wonky.
Nice. You got some absolutely amazing images in the movie.

Yeah the cine... I'm really happy with the stuff we got but that honestly boils down to just finding a nice angle that explains the moment properly.
And using what you have.
Like those awesome birdhouse shots...

that birdhouse was just there so we used it. Sadly it had fallen down when we went back, so I didn't get everything I wanted but I still really like what we got.
S_B:
Definitely. The shot composition and the framing were really good.
That one shot toward the end of the movie was absolutely stellar of the birdhouse.
JS:
All just waking up early when fog was rolling in and filming it!

Did you shoot the vast majority of the picture?
How tough was it to check on the frames when you were in the scene?
JS:
I shot the whole thing technically. Like I'd have Daniel or Keith sit in for me to get the angle or how I wanted it to work,

Some scenes though, like anything in my basement at the computer I filmed literally by myself.
And the suicide attempt/bathroom scene I shot that myself as well.
Like literally just me.

S_B:
How long did you shoot for?
Oh yeah. It's so tough when you don't have that extra pair of eyes to tell you if it looks alright/worked. And then having to mess with the focus and all that.
There's a reason I don't film myself much at all. And that would be exactly it.

It's hard to say. So we filmed 2 days at the cabin and the chained to the tree stuff and some other random stuff... Then we filmed maybe 6 days in my sister’s backyard. Then a couple days in my basement and garage (where the surgery is) ...

we'd shoot for a few hours, then I'd edit for a week or whatever and then we'd shoot some more.
My next film I'm making a whole feature by myself.
It's called Scumbag.
I turned my basement into a weird bunker and wear a gasmask through the whole thing HAHA

You were talking about that earlier. Why on earth would you fly solo for a whole feature? Is that just the nature our of reality right now and wanting to keep the creative juices flowing?
How did that whole process come about? The bunker?

When I was on Rebel I felt like it would be interesting to see someone do a "good" (that's relative but I pretty much mean something where they really try to make a movie and not just pander to the gimmick) movie by themselves.

I did a short film by myself and a lot of Greywood's and realized it would be worth it for me to experiment with it and try!
I wrote it last Sept.
So covid and everything happening is completely coincidence

I had started filming it by myself in November, did the first scene and sent the script to Daniel... he read it and was like "Dude... please don't do this. I want to work on this movie really bad. I love the script!"
So I stopped... then this happened and we both decided I should start back up again since we won't be able to make it for awhile, my basement is already the bunker, and it'll be a fun story to tell when this is all over.
S_B:
That's awesome man. Yeah, gimmicks are fun. But the one trick pony does eventually wear out its usefulness.
Now Daniel is the Crazy Surgeon Guy in GP right?
Absolutely. Serendipity at its finest.
How many days have you shot Scumbag so far?

Daniel is Doug Greywood/Father Gil.
He's also my cowriter/coproducer/best friend since kindergarten.
Only a couple days on Scummers so far. Plan to hit it harder starting in the next couple weeks.
That's on the Black Magic Ursa Mini.

It's just what I own haha.
I bought the a6300 to shoot my sister in laws wedding and just worked with it.

Like many of us indie filmmakers. Nothing wrong with that though. So is it a relatively new acquisition?

The video department I worked for shut down so I bought it off them for next to nothing.
Oh yeah! I mean Greywood's cost around $2k-$3k to make because I own everything.
We just used what we had.

Yeah. I just paid for it. I mean it wasn't $2k straight up.
It was like buying booze for the day, or a hotel room for a night up north.
S_B:
Oh yeah. Luckily it usually isn't. But obviously $ adds up. How much would you say you guys spent on the mask? Maybe $1k?

I can't remember a time the three of us weren't filming together.
But you know, we also have lives and jobs and whatnot - so we didn't ever get to make a feature.
I also just got lucky and worked hard at animation and got jobs with some rad people like Kevin Smith, Troma, CNN

Tim Burton is definitely one of the ones that inspired me the most. Spielberg inspires every filmmaker in some way I think... Obviously Robert [Rodriguez], Lloyd [Kaufman], and Kevin [Smith] (… and the older I get the more I'm inspired by people like David Lynch.

I still have to sit down and watch all of The Fly. Started watching it on AMC years ago, when they still played movies and I made myself shut it off so as not to ruin it. Need to rectify that asap.
Yeah! I saw it years ago when it originally played Sundance in 2006 I think it was. Such a great piece of animation. Was always bummed it never got turned into a feature like the director wanted. But that's life sometimes.
What is the best piece of advice you ever got (in general)?
For filmmaking?

Robert told us “what you’re about to do is impossible. We’re going to do it anyways” and that kind of stuck with me
But my advice to everyone is stop fucking taking things too seriously.
So many people don’t make something because it becomes sacred.
