The Singers short film is currently on Netflix and the filmmaker is interviewed by Chuck Braverman of Westdoc. In The SINGERS, a fiction film infused with documentary style, filmmaker Sam A.

Without a script or even a definitive plan, guided only by a short story he had read, Davis allows these first-time actors — all discovered in various corners of the internet — to find their own way with his help and direction. The shoot was done on 35mm film, the story was found in the editing process. Singers is only 18 minute long, but you’ll feel like you know everyone in the bar. Drink up.
