Backrooms: How Kane Parsons Turned A Video Game Design Flaw Into Pure Nightmare Fuel

Kane Parsons made a name for himself with his unbearably eerie Backrooms short films on YouTube, almost immediately drawing the attention of Hollywood mainstays like A24, James Wan, and Osgood Perkins. Now, Backrooms is a feature film, and Parsons sat down with IGN's Tom Jorgensen to explain how his love of video games like Portal, Half-Life, and Minecraft served as the bedrock of his passion for filmmaking, and what it was like directing powerhouse performers like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve in his feature debut.
