As Arcadian hits UK cinemas, we chat to director Benjamin Brewer about working with Nicolas Cage and crafting an apocalyptic thriller with a low budget.
Parenting teenagers is a challenge in regular circumstances, but in Arcadian, it’s even more nightmarish. Thanks to global warming, society has collapsed and strange, terrifying creatures roam the land at night. Nicolas Cage plays Paul, father to Joseph (Jaeden Martell) and Thomas (Maxwell Jenkins). Thomas particularly has a habit to stay out a little too late and after one particularly late trip, Paul is forced to go look for him while Joseph stays behind.
Things go wrong. Very, very wrong.
Arcadian was made on a relatively low budget, but director Benjamin Brewer set out to make the most of it. You can read our full chat with the director below.
First of all, congratulations on Arcadian. I loved the opening scene. It was very The Last of Us.
