Tilt, a film with a modest budget that made a big impression at Tribeca earlier this year, developed from a single image. A man standing over his wife, who is completely unaware of his presence. Kasra Farahani describes himself as a very visual filmmaker and this image gripped him and co-writer Jason O'Leary from the moment they conceived of it. "Both of us are not naturally horror minded people. We're quite averse to graphic or gory imagery, so it was quite disturbing to us," Kasra explains.
We're chatting because the film has recently screened at the Fantasia Film Festival, which Kasra is particularly excited about because, as he says, "there are a lot of festivals out there but it's doing something unique."

Recently enjoying its premiere at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, the psychological thriller Tilt follows a struggling Los Angeles filmmaker (played by Joseph Cross) whose life spirals out of control after his wife (played by Alexia Rasmussen) discovers that she’s pregnant, and he faces giving up on his dreams to fulfill his marital obligations.
Daily Dead recently caught up with co-writer/director Kasra Farahani and Tilt co-star Cross during Tribeca, and the duo discussed working on the project together, their thoughts on exploring the dark side of human emotions, and how real-life politics spilled over into the themes in Farahani’s powerful story about one man’s struggle with his dangerous impulses.
I'm going to start with you, Kasra, as I'd love to hear about where the idea for this story came from. This story deals with these different thematic elements of impending fatherhood and some of the pressures that...
