Comment on Searching Producer Developing 14 More ‘ScreenLife’ Movies

BEGIN SLIDESHOW Searching producer developing 14 more ‘ScreenLife’ movies Though he wasn’t the first to attempt the style, Timur Bekmambetov has been the driving force behind the resurgence of films told exclusively through computer screens on the big screen like the Unfriended films and the upcoming Searching. Speaking with The LA Times (Via SlashFilm) the filmmaker revealed that he is developing 14 more films in the same style. The genre, which Bekmambetov calls “Screen Life,” is similar to the found-footage film genre in which a web camera is recording the main character(s) as they work on their computers and shows their actions in a separate window while also showing what they are working on or looking at on their screens.
