What is Following?
{{Italic title}} '''''Following''''' is a 1998 [[United Kingdom|British]] drama thriller movie directed by [[Christopher Nolan]]. It stars [[Jeremy Theobald]], [[Alex Haw]], [[Lucy Russell]], and [[John Nolan (actor)|John Nolan]]. It was released on September 12, 1998. This was Christopher Nolan's first movie. It tells the story of a young man who follows strangers around the streets of London and is drawn into a criminal underworld when he fails to keep his distance. As Christopher Nolan's debut feature, it was designed to be as inexpensive as possible to make: scenes were heavily rehearsed so that just one or two takes were needed, thus economizing on 16 mm film stock, the production's greatest expense, and for which Nolan was paying from his salary. Without expensive professional lighting equipment, Nolan mostly used available light. Apart from writing, directing, and photographing the film, Nolan also helped in editing and production. Instead of fighting against the limitations of the production, Christopher Nolan allowed them to dictate everything from the film’s structure, to its handheld shooting style, to the 16mm film it was shot on, to black-and-white stock, and setting the scene during the day and place the characters next to windows or in natural sunlight as much as possible. Nolan has explained it in a detailed interview with VICE. <references /> == Other websites == * [http://bhushanmahadani.com/how-christopher-nolan-shot-his-no-budget-film-following/ How Christopher Nolan Shot His No-Budget Film,’Following’] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150128153518/http://bhushanmahadani.com/how-christopher-nolan-shot-his-no-budget-film-following/ |date=2015-01-28 }} {{Christopher Nolan films}} [[Category:1998 crime movies]] [[Category:1998 thriller movies]] [[Category:1998 drama movies]] [[Category:1990s crime thriller movies]] [[Category:1990s drama thriller movies]] [[Category:1990s mystery movies]] [[Category:British crime thriller movies]] [[Category:British drama thriller movies]] [[Cat
