Indie filmmaker Ti West is known for his unique approach to horror movies, often writing, editing, and directing his films on a shoestring budget. His dedication to his craft has caught the attention of legendary director Martin Scorsese, who was impressed by West’s film “The Innkeepers” and praised his ability to create atmospheric and psychological stories.
West’s recent work has been criticized for being too focused on the technical aspects of filmmaking, but his films have a personal touch that resonates with audiences. One key element of his success is actress Mia Goth, who has starred in several of his projects.
Before diving back into filmmaking, West spent five years working in television, finding comfort in the steady work. However, the pull of the movie industry eventually brought him back, leading to the creation of his latest project, “X.” The film follows a young woman with big dreams who sets out to make a low-budget genre flick, only to encounter unexpected horrors along the way.
Despite the challenges of independent filmmaking, West’s passion for storytelling and dedication to his craft continue to drive his success in the industry. His ability to create suspenseful, character-driven narratives sets him apart in a genre often dominated by jump scares and special effects.
