Dungeons and Daddies Creators Used 3 Years of Savings to Fund Their First Feature

After the successful run of Video Game High School, the creators behind the web-series are ready to add "filmmaker" to their stacked resume. Matthew Arnold and Freddie Wong have continued to join forces through their Youtube Channel, RocketJump, and their hit podcast Dungeons and Daddies. Years after experimenting with VFX and delivering content through various mediums, Arnold and Wong are now promoting their directorial debut, We're All Gonna Die. The indie film, which stars Jordan Rodrigues and Ashly Burch, follows a beekeeper overcoming grief and an emotionally distraught EMT as they go on a road trip together to retrieve their belongings, which are being transported across the country by an alien "spike" that the world has gotten used to. Ahead of its world premiere at the 2024 SXSW, the cast and filmmakers stopped by the Collider media studio to chat with our own Steve Weintraub. Arnold and Wong went into detail about funding their first feature out of pocket, how their previous projects equipped them to use VFX in their favor, and making a rom-com out of an alien invasion. Rodrigues and Burch also spoke about the cold shoots in Utah, having calves on full display, and their motivation to say "yes" to a project that incorporates guerilla filmmaking. #DungeonsandDaddies #VideoGameHighSchool #FreddieWong For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
