Today’s guest Eduardo Sanchez goes back to the late 90’s
and shares his experience on what it was like to be in the center
of The Blair Witch Project hurricane. What it was like being
on the cover of Time Magazine and how did it feel to be the toast
of Hollywood…for a period of time.
We also discuss the aftermath, how his career grew post Blair Witch
and crazy stories of Hollyweird.
Who hasn’t heard of the now legendary indie film rags to riches
tale of The Blair Witch Project? Every film student from Los
Angeles to Mumbai heard the story of how two young film students
spent $27,000 (mostly from friends, family and credit cards) to
make a little indie horror film that ended up grossing $250 million
worldwide.
Directors Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick shot The Blair Witch
Project in a new way which would later be called “found footage.”
Without The Blair Witch Project, there is no Paranormal Activity,
Cloverfield, The Last Exorcism.
The marketing of The Blair Witch Project was equally as important
as the film itself. Below you can watch the FAKE documentary that
helped fuel the belief that the Blair Witch Curse was real and that
the kids in the movie were dead.
Just BRILLIANT marketing!
Enjoy my conversation with Eduardo Sanchez.
