    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Witnesses was the last production to film at the Firestone Tire factory in South Gate, Los Angeles - the same location for the Netflix film "Bright," starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton, the TV series "SWAT," and the "This Is America" music video by Childish Gambino.
    • Crazy credits
      In the end credits there is a "Bark Out To" (like a Shout Out To) Gracie and Rosie. These are two dogs that crew members brought to set throughout shooting.

    I'm The Writer and Director of Witnesses - Christopher Burgart / NO SPOILERS
    Hi,

    If you're reading this you've watched, or have some interest in watching Witnesses - either way, thank you!

    When watching or reviewing, keep a few things in mind:

    Yes, Witnesses is a THRILLER that bleeds into the horror genre, shot in the found footage style.

    Found footage is such a polarizing shooting style - you either embrace the sub-genre, or despise it. Taking that into consideration, we eliminated from Witnesses many of the elements people hate. First, we gave the characters a plausible reason for filming. Sure, you're going to find some shaky camera and smash cut transitions, but very minimally. They are only included as a nod to the genre and not found throughout the movie.

    All that said, I went in realizing that you cannot please everyone. Pick any movie and you're inevitably going to get your haters. But those that have watched it without preconceived notions, or certain expectations, generally like it.

    Of course you're entitled to your opinion. Your taste in a movie is completely subjective, but I am presenting this message for your consideration when thinking about what you watched, or what you will watch.

    We did not go in expecting an Oscar win. This is a movie, not a film. It was our intention from the start to make an entertaining VOD movie and we think that was accomplished.

    I hope you enjoy(ed) it!

    P.S. Yeah, I gave it 10 out of 10 Stars, because it's mine, and I'm biased.
