Spotlight DIRECTOR-SCREENWRITER: James Ward Byrkit LOGLINE: A collection of stories from the other side of consciousness. A modern mindbender for a new generation, Shatter Belt dives head
first into the deep end of questions about our relationship to reality. PANELISTS: James Ward Byrkit, Patton Oswalt PREMIERED: March 14, 2023 WATCH ON DEADLINE KEY QUOTES: Byrkit: “I’ve
always loved the short form and I was inspired by how Rod Serling was pumping out these scripts every week and how classic they became and I realized you don’t have to be so precious and
take two years to write the perfect screenplay.” Oswalt: “Also to brush up against the cosmic and fantastical, with actually very little special effects… It’s very practical and subtle, and
sometimes the subtle can feel so much more cataclysmic than the giant spectacle.” The Deadline Studio at SXSW runs March 10-13, where the cast and creatives behind the best and buzziest
titles in this year’s lineup sit down with Deadline’s festival team to discuss their movies and the paths they took to get to Austin, Texas. Comments JavaScript is required to load the
