This is part 2 of John Isberg’s interview. He goes more in depth about his story and possible future project ideas.

He started as an intern grip in 2014, five years later he’s working on friends music videos and five years from then he made his first feature, Final Summer. He talks about the money being in commercial work but the passion projects are a different matter.

John and Carlos talk about learning as they go because neither went to film school. He talks workshopping with other videographers on an mba program. He has extensive work history as a cinematographer in films such as Black Mold (directed by John Pata), Haunted House of Pancakes and of course Final Summer.

John talks about the specifics of Final Summer and what he hopes the audience feels and what it and the characters means to him. It’s not just a slasher, it represents mental health and an abusive past, this story is personal. He describes it as a crime scene in process. He focussed on having a mixed cast and the sometimes, heavy meanings behind the scenes and characters.

There are plans for a sequel in the future and possibly more, John talks about his plan for potential future Final sequels and it sounds great! I hope he can pull it off!!

Get ready for a physical release of Final Summer in the Fall of 2024! There’s talk of a 3D addition in the release. Keep an eye out!!
