“I remember the first three days, everything was so perfect,” Fallout: Deadweight writer and director Nigel Kim tells me. “Everything we got was so perfect that I was having the most fun of my entire life just being there on that set.”
“The last day we kind of hit some production snags, and in the very last 30 minutes of the project,” he continues, “we were rushing, we were trying to get the shot with the stimpak, and it breaks.”
“It drops and shatters into a million pieces in front of me, and, this project, I’ve been trying to make this happen for like three years now. So, it was just years worth of time and attention and money. Then when this prop broke, it literally shattered my brain for like a split second, where I think I dropped to the ground and my mind was, like, blank for a second. Then Caine – my executive producer – and Eric literally pull me up, throw me in front of a monitor and say, ‘Glue it back together, roll it!’. They kind of slapped me out of my little funk there for a second.”
