Watch this startling scene from Terry R. Wickham's A.I., the super atmospheric segment from the upcoming 2027 horror anthology feature film BEGINNING OF THE END to see Terry R. Wickham's highly cinematic directing style. In a film industry clogged by attention deficit directing, Wickham stands out by choosing to let his Anamorphic vision play out without cuts, allowing the audience to soak in his eye for capturing detail using 2:35:1 true wide-screen frame. Wickham has the courage, wherewithal to not follow everyone else. Double Vision/Devil's Five/Gruesome Threesome filmmaker says, "When I was writing the script for A.I. I saw in my mind's eye, exactly what you are looking at and how this scene plays out. In my head, I saw a creepy, seductive dark figure in the distance, purposely out of focus for a good 30 seconds before we rack focus to see it's a sexy, beautiful blonde in a leather jacket and high heels. Flames flickering on the ceiling and walls from a fireplace. Anamorphic lens flares. I like to build suspense not just in conventual ways, but the way I reveal characters and even they're intention." A.I., is the final movie in the horror anthology feature film BEGINNING OF THE END. All three movies within the feature are Written & Directed by Terry R. Wickham. Wickham directed A.I. in December 2024. This clip includes telling behind-the-scenes photos that capture the exciting production and exceptional film making achieved on A.I. Visionary Award-winning Filmmaker Terry R. Wickham says, "We filmed A.I. with the best camera equipment of my entire 40-year career thanks to Producer/Director of Photography Mike Milia. Mike really stepped up to the plate and provided A.I. with incredible equipment which included two Sony Full-Frame 8K Venice Cameras (one Sony Venice camera runs at a cost of $70,000) , four huge, brilliant Cooke Anamorphic Lenses (valued at $65,000 dollars each), the best tripod, top-of-the-line camera plate and fully-loaded grip truck just to name some of the outstanding film gear Mike provided our production. For what Mike did, I will be forever grateful. Cinematographer/Camera Operator Salvador Bolivar is the best lighting Cinematographer I've ever worked with. Sal pays so much attention to every single lighting possibility, and his talent is on full display in this opening scene of A.I. Mike, Sal and I approach working on movies with the same passion and intensity. I can't forget to add Actress Natalia Volk. She's sensational in this scene. I love what she brings to the screen with a combination of beauty, intelligence and creativity. I was so struck with her talent in this movie I wrote a totally different key role, the psychologist Dr. Olivia Bradford for my slasher feature film Ms. Scarlett (currently in post-production) and I've told everyone she's one of the best three actors in the entire film. I love working with Natalia. I believe everyone is going to enjoy the fruits of our labor when they see our film A.I. when Beginning of the End horror feature film is ready for world-wide release in early 2027. Stay tuned so you can purchase your special Blu-Ray, which will be loaded with extra features." SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW/LIKE to see updates on visionary Award-winning Filmmaker Terry R.
