Sonny Bunch August 21 14 2 Transcript ‘It Ends’ (Neon) This week’s episode is a real treat: I’m joined by Alex Ullom, the 28-year-old writer/director of It Ends , and he provided a real window into the process of getting a low-budget indie movie made. His story has everything: fundraising from professional magicians; a first cut that didn’t work at all; acceptance into SXSW followed by no offers to buy the movie; a grassroots groundswell that got it the attention of Letterboxd; and, finally, a pickup by leading indie distributor Neon for release this week.
It’s playing in Los Angeles and New York City this week before expanding wide next week, and I cannot stress this enough: if you liked Backrooms or enjoyed the existential dread of Exit 8 , you have GOT to go see It Ends .
