An in-depth exclusive interview with writer/director/producer/cinematographer/editor ROBERT CONWAY talking about the unforgettable western SKINWALKER where authenticity and production values rule even while shooting at the height of the pandemic in 2020.
Head into the Old West with cowboys and Indians and shape-shifting demons with SKINWALKER.
After looting a Native American burial site, a hunter unleashes the legendary Skinwalker, a shape-shifting demon, onto an unsuspecting world. Once thought to be only a legend, this ancient evil returns from the grave to wreak a terrible vengeance on all who are unfortunate enough to cross its path.
Directed by Robert Conway, SKINWALKER stars Eva Hamilton, Cameron Kotecki, Amelia Haberman, Dan Higgins, Daniel Link, Charlie E Motley, Edward Rodriguez, Nathaniel Burns, Liz Manning, Victorio Pope, Jeff Yazzie, and Becky Jo Harris.
Robert Conway digs deep with the “making of” SKINWALKER talking about Native American actors and corresponding Native American language, impeccable period production design, the importance of character and moral codes even for outlaws, historical context, wearing ALL of the production hats – writer, director, producer, cinematographer, editor, shot listing vs storyboarding, and of course, shooting during the pandemic lockdown and the challenges that presented.
