[edit] Production
In July 2007, director Phedon Papamichael was hired to direct From Within, a thriller based on a script by Brad Keene. The film is financed through a European equity fund. Production began in July-August 2007 in Maryland.[3] The writer described the film, "I wanted to write something that was scary and high concept and dealt with personal issues, namely religious beliefs and how they play a part in who we are and the way we lead our lives."[4] Papamichael desired to make From Within in the tradition of The Shining (1980) and Rosemary's Baby (1968). For From Within, filming took place in Perry Point, Maryland, a defunct estate with homes that would be torn down after the completion of production.[2] The film entered post-production in August 2007.[5]
[edit] Release
Filmmakers originally planned to finish production in time to release the film for the Sundance Film Festival in February 2008.[2] From Within ultimately had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival that runs between April and May 2008.[6] The film entered the festival "riding a considerable wave of buzz and expectation",[7] but it played to "mediocre reception".[8]
