Director Brian Duffield on Filming Inside a Whale's Stomach
Director Brian Duffield tackled a massive cinematic challenge with his new film, 'Whalefall,' distributed by 20th Century Studios. The movie follows a young diver, played by Austin Abrams, who gets swallowed by a whale and must escape before running out of oxygen. Shooting inside a cramped, 360-degree practical set on a rocking gimbal proved to be an extreme logistical puzzle. Crew members had to physically jump on the set to simulate the whale crushing the protagonist, leaving studio safety reps baffled.
