Filming An Indie

This diary is K. C. Bailey’s personal memoir of making Revenge In Kind, a feature film completed in December 2017. She wrote the screenplay in 2004, but did not undertake to shoot the movie until 2015, when she was misdiagnosed with a fatal illness. Thinking she had little time left, she spent her life’s savings to undertake a project that would be a unique experience and fill her final days. She was participant in or witness to all steps in the process, from the script to supervision of editing in post-production. Few artists have the opportunity to see a film project from conception to birth, so she is uniquely positioned to tell the saga as entertainment and as a compendium possibly useful to other independent filmmakers.
