#Backrooms star Chiwetel Ejiofor on working with director Kane Parsons and initially learning his age:
“At the time, I was also told, “You should know that the director is 19.” And I obviously thought about myself when I was 19 and thought, “How is this going to work? What would it have been like if it were me at 19 trying to direct this movie?”
“After reading the script, I was excited about it. Obviously, I was excited about what Kane had created and “The Backrooms” series. I thought it was incredible. There were specific things that I was completely taken with. Then we had a Zoom conversation, and I realized very quickly that Kane isn’t your common-or-garden 19- or 20-year-old. It was almost literally the last time that I thought about him as a young director.”
