The Cinematography Podcast Bonus Episode: Director J.D. Dillard
It’s another very special Shelter In Place episode as we stay home
and dig into our archives to bring you some past podcasts you might
have missed. Enjoy our show and these films from the comfort of
your safe space. One of Illya’s favorite movies at Sundance in 2019
was J.D. Dillard’s midnight movie, Sweetheart. The horror/thriller
movie stars Kiersey Clemons (Hearts Beat Loud, Dope) as a woman who
is stranded on a desert island and stalked by a mysterious monster.
J.D. discusses the difficulties of shooting on a small island in
Fiji, on a short time schedule, while being entirely outdoors and
subject to the whims of nature. As a black filmmaker, he feels like
it’s important to put people who look like him in genre films such
as fantasy and horror. Blumhouse, known for their horror movie
slate, produced Sweetheart and you can currently stream it on
Netflix. J.D. is currently developing a new Star Wars project. Find
