    Demystified S1E17 - How Jordan Graham Made a Studio-Quality Feature by Himself

    Jordan Graham, the creator of horror film "Sator," walks us through the seven-year process of making a feature film all by himself. He may not be the first to make a movie on his own, but he may be one of the first to make a movie on his own that looks and sounds this darn good.

    Sator released on VOD in February, 2021 and as of May, 2022 is available on limited edition Blu-ray at https://www.cauldron-films.com/products/satorle
