How I’m making Exiled

This is an independent production through M.T. Grave Studio, and I’m building it with smart constraints:

a contained world

a focused cast

I am using practical, in-camera solutions wherever possible.

I believe in atmosphere and performance over spectacle.

This blog is where I’ll document the process—casting, visual tests, practical effects experiments, locations, sound work, and the real behind-the-scenes problem solving that indie filmmaking requires.

What’s next

Next entry will be about the visual approach—how I’m designing the look of the film (lighting, framing, and the “rules” I’m using to keep the world consistent).

If you want to follow the build as it happens, bookmark this page and check back—updates will be posted regularly.

Support the project: the best place to keep up is the site, and the store helps directly fund indie production.
