Isabella Soares is a Resource Writer and Peer Mentor for Collider and a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic. She is passionate about teen dramas, such as 'One Tree Hill' and 'Glee', as well as anything with a mindblowing plot twist.
The Big Picture After the successful run of Video Game High School, the creators behind the web-series are ready to add "filmmaker" to their stacked resume. Matthew Arnold and Freddie Wong have continued to join forces through their Youtube Channel, RocketJump, and their hit podcast Dungeons and Daddies. Years after experimenting with VFX and delivering content through various mediums, Arnold and Wong are now promoting their directorial debut, We're All Gonna Die.
WONG: Within that movie, it is about a struggling beekeeper and an emotionally raw EMT, who Jordan plays, and they sort of get almost into a car accident. Their stuff gets teleported away by the spike, and now they have to do a road trip across the country to get their stuff back. JORDAN RODRIGUES: I was one of those people that, when I was presented the script, I actually didn't know who RocketJump was, but once I did a little bit of digging, I realized how massive RocketJump was. In the first video I ever saw of you guys was episode 1 of the short film, and it was these guys trying to get horses to drift in Rocket Jump: The Show. Once I was like, "oh, they're trying to do a western", but the whole concept is trying to get horses to drift.
We're probably not the best pitchers in the world either. You know, let's be honest, we haven't made anything, probably like, not the best, right? Peter Jackson got Lord of the Rings, and he just didn't want me to be there but over the course of doing that, we were like, "well, let's just make something that we can do ourselves".
Jordan Rodrigues on Wearing a T-Shirt and Shorts While Shooting 'We're All Gonna Die' in the Winter When you saw the shooting schedule and saw what you were going to be doing, what day did you have circled in terms of, I can't wait to film this, and what day was circled in terms of how exactly are we filming this?
Speaking of showing it to people, so you put together a rough cut, or a cut you're happy with. You start showing it to people who gave you the best feedback in terms of, you know, they tell you something, and you're like, "oh, yeah, maybe we do need to adjust this thing". ARNOLD: The biggest change was probably just that we always wanted to do a thing where the sci-fi element was in the background. It's very much supposed to just be part of the normal life. We spent a lot of time making sure the spike is kind of in the background. It's kind of there, but it's not part of it...Ashly!ARNOLD: We got the intro montage. That's all important, we figure that out later. WONG: Oh yeah, get the microphone in there.
BURCH: We've known each other for a long time, but they sent me the script just to get I think, my feedback on it because I write as well.WONG: Ashly shared an item with me. Donkey Kong on Google Drive. This is December 19, 2013.BURCH: You really have a deep log on your Gmail. ARNOLD: I don't know if we would have done it without Ashly, because I think you were one of the first people we sent the notes to, and she literally responds with "no notes, its got to be made." Then I was like, "well, I asked you for notes" but then you respond with like, "I really want to be a part of this." So I was like, "ok, ok, no notes, but we got an actress." That's good. That's a good trade off.
