We chat with SummoningTheSpirit director Jon Garcia about going Bigfoot hunting in preparation for his new movie and creating a palatable arc for each character:
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Currently available on Digital and DVD, Summoning the Spirit centers around a troubled couple who moves from the city to a house in the forest. The two hope their new environment will help them overcome their marital issues, but they soon realize the land isn't as peaceful as they imagined. Living alongside a cult that worships a monstrous creature, Carla and Dean find themselves fighting for survival in their own backyard.
How can we blend these two mythologies and make it work? We didn't want to take it too seriously, but we wanted to make it a palatable story that gave the characters arcs. The script itself was very long. Because of our budget constraints, we had to cut a lot of things out. So that became a question of, when it's actually translated to screen, is it all going to work? Are people actually going to understand this mythology that we created? It was just a trial and error.
We didn't get a call back, but the other group did. We met up with them afterward, and they were talking about how they had a knock at eye level in one of the trees. We did a knock together, and we didn't hear it. These two guys said that they thought that the Sasquatches had moved on for the night. That was all pretty exhilarating. We saw like 10 prints. It could have been just a very tall person with big feet, but some of them were convincing.
Jon Garcia: Yeah, thanks for that. I imagined a couple who had issues that they were trying to leave behind. [There was] something that happened—a mistake for Dean. As a professor, he overstepped a boundary with a student. They left Miami, and they are now in the Pacific Northwest trying to bury those problems and start new, have a child, and just have a new life. Over time, they realize that they can't necessarily run away from their problems.
Jon Garcia: Yeah, they're both grieving. Dean is focused in on the thing he thinks he needs to do for his legacy and his art. He's getting lost in it. Maybe that's the way he grieves. She's grieving by finding a community that she doesn't have at home, and so she finds it elsewhere. She finds the family that she doesn't have at home. She finds it in this community.
