EP. 1513: Filmmaker Joseph Sauchelli (THE COMMUTER)
THE COMMUTER, 11min., USA
Directed by Joseph Sauchelli
A protagonist struggles to cope with a rough commute in the only way she knows how.
Get to know the filmmaker:
What motivated you to make this film?
Really the urge to make something, particularly for cheap. When you know you are going to go down that route, you begin looking around at what you can use for free. Hoboken has this old fashioned train station I always admired and found cinematic, so I began to build a story around it. With college and my job I have commuted for quite some time, so I tried to bring that experience to this film – which immediately turned into a stressful thriller.
From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
The idea for “The Commuter” is several years old, however it took some time to feel ready and finally take the step towards making the movie myself. As I reflect on the finished product a lesson I have taken away is that no one is ever really ready to make a film, and it is a risky mindset to subscribe to. On one hand you want to make sure your script and pre-production planning is to the best it could be, however you must be careful not to lean on the excuse that “it’s not ready” like a crutch.

Mark Tyler gets out of prison after twelve years for a robbery gone awry. The loot is still out there. A corrupt cop, a local grifter, a femme fatale and the partner he left for dead all come marching out of his past to come for it.
Get to know the writers:
What is your screenplay about?
Jeremy Hogan: To me it’s about time. Lost time, how we spend our time, the futility of trying to catch up or outrun it.
Aaron Krygier… Lost people looking for something to fulfill that emptiness. Whether it’s something tangible or not. Love, revenge, greed.
What genres does your screenplay fall under?
JH: Neo-noir or crime thriller
AK the same
Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
JH: I’m biased, but I think it’s well written. Meaty characters that actors might relish playing, and it’s true to its genre, while subverting conventions and expectations in interesting or surprising ways.
AK it wears its influences on its sleeve and its simplicity offers a ton of options for outlandish Ness.
How would you describe this script in two words?
JH: uncertain redemptionAK… Evoking humanity.
What movie have you seen the most times in your life?
JH: Probably a tie between “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” or “Miller’s Crossing,” though “Adaptation” is catching up.
AK… Heat, Blade Runner, Alien, Se7en are all contenders.

What is your screenplay about?
