The Knife That Killed Me: Interview With Co-Director Kit Monkman

film reviews | movies | features | BRWC The Knife That Killed Me: Interview With Co-Director Kit Monkman

By Gabriella Incalza Kaplanova.

The Knife That Killed Me is a journey through the memories of teenager Paul Varderman as he reflects on the events leading to the fatal moment his life is cut short. “It’s a film with a relatively conventional story with a twist, but it’s told in an entirely unconventional way”, explains co-director Kit Monkman.

Ground breaking, innovative, theatrical, it is a film that will challenge you and surprise you in many ways. However, warns Monkman, “It’s not a difficult film to watch, it’s entertaining, it’s fun, but it requires you to approach it with an open mind, and those who have done that, have really fallen in love with it”.



Shot in 3 weeks, The Knife That Killed Me spent 12 months in post-production to create spectacular visuals. Listen to the interview to find out about the process of creating something so original, how it came about and why you should never give up, even when you get caught up and start doubting yourself.

A true cinematic gem, don’t miss it!

Synopsis:

Paul moves to a new school and becomes involved with ‘The Freaks’, a group on the periphery of school life, those who don’t fit in: scene kids, emo kids, indie kids. Outsiders. At the same time he attracts the attention of the schools twisted and manipulative bully, Roth. When Paul delivers a message from Roth to the leader of a gang at a rival school, it sparks a dangerous feud. Faced with growing pressures from both groups, Paul must decide where his friendship lies, a decision that may cost him his life.
