USC School of Cinematic Arts graduate and successful filmmaker, Braden R. Duemmler, reveals what he has learned over the years - from being a student at a prestigious top-tier film school to producing his own cinematic horror What Lies Below (2020) and how it gained full distribution with Saban Films.

Duemmler walks us through the most important aspects of filmmaking, how he handled his budget and how he made the connections necessary to get his film off the ground.

What Lies Below (2020), starring American Beauty's Mena Suvari, is a science fiction horror that follows a 16 year-old girl as she returns home from camp. Her mother has a new boyfriend, one she is set to marry; a man whose charm, intelligence and good looks set him apart from the rest. 

Is he really all that he seems?
