Blackmagic Design today announced that the acclaimed independent feature film “Something in the Dirt,” which was nominated for the NEXT Innovator Award at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, was graded in DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software.
When neighbors John and Levi witness supernatural events in their Los Angeles apartment building, they realize documenting the paranormal could inject some fame and fortune into their wasted lives. An ever deeper, darker rabbit hole, their friendship frays as they uncover the dangers of the phenomena, the city and each other. Directed by and starring Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, the film is a testament to Moorhead and Benson’s friendship as well as their passion for unique, out of the box stories.
Both Benson and Moorhead are no strangers to directing, having each served in that role on a wide range of projects, including episodes of both Disney’s “Moon Knight” as well as Netflix’ “Archive 81.” But when it came to developing an idea for a unique feature, the two simply recalled some of the pitches they had offered to other studios. “For years we have been asked to pitch on maybe a dozen different haunted house franchises,” said Moorhead. “They would ask us to give our strangest, wildest, most left of center ideas, which in the end was usually too left of center for them. ‘Something in the Dirt’ is essentially an omnibus film of all our wildest ideas of a ‘haunting' that we dug up from that graveyard.”
