It was the movie that we sat around here and dreamed up for each other. Tell me a little bit about what that was, because it was a film festival aware film, if that makes sense.Ĭhris White: It’s a film that was semi-autobiographical. Mark Shaffer: Your first time at BIFF (2015) was with Cinema Purgatorio. I spoke to them by phone about the aftermath of Purgatorio, the economics of making movies in South Carolina, Christian hair bands, plugging “Electric Jesus” into BIFF and a strange encounter with Bill Murray. The Whites, however, have a twist or two up their sleeves. A portion of Chris’ long-gestating passion project will be read along with others at the Screenwriter’s Workshop, Thursday evening, February 22nd. For the 2018 festival the Whites (Chris writes, directs and acts while Emily produces) have an original screenplay in competition. Their feature Cinema Purgatorio took home trophies for Best Comedy and Audience Choice. The Greenville-base filmmaking team of Emily Reach White and her husband, Chris, made a big first impression at the 2015 Beaufort International Film Festival.
