Take 10 – Case Study: The Valley of the Devil with Chase Stine
Chase Stine joins us to dissect his short film The Valley of the Devil which was independently produced in 2024. We discuss how Chase made this project a reality, how he went about casting, and how he took things into his own hands a built a set for the film.
