"And you make stuff thats scary because.. ?"
"...Because I'm so frightened."
That hit me hard.
reminds me of junji ito. very sweet man, very terrifying work.
Why are horror creators always so sweet
I feel most of the time the people who create the most powerful horror films are the sweetest since they are the most disturbed
@@monkeguy2203 true she seems very sweet but also like shes been through a lot of unsettling quiet trauma if ykwimm:((
@@kirtu9035 what happend?
They vent all their negativity and danger through their art
@@kirtu9035 didn’t they marry a killer tho
finding out this film was ACTUALLY made in the 80's and not some kind of obscure revivalist horror shocked me. she was so so ahead of her time !
She is truly a super visionary diva beyond time
I think the genuine 80s equipment is what gives it more fear value. The camera quality, the microphone quality, it was already perfect.
It's interesting to me that there are two primary ways a film can be unsettling...the first is the content of the film itself, while the second is how much time has passed since it was produced. Older films can often take on an unsettling quality just by virtue of being older, taking on an etheral quality. The older it is, the stronger this quality is.
@@SirWilly77 So true been saying this for years! older ghost videos/footage for example just look so much more authentic than anything new today.
And then it was made in the 80s so this was ahead of its time
It was made in the 80s which helps with the equipment
Just imagine a collaboration between Cecilia and David Lynch. The world wouldn’t recover.
Cecelia once said she took a painting class with Lynch and he told her she should make movies. But yea I wish they did a whole film together too.
Or imagine her with david firth too. I don't think the universe would recover from that
@@joejoseph218 or with Stephen king the multiverse wouldn't recover from that
*Cecelia
@@empireofkrenedas902 nobody asked
I love how comfortable she stays the entire interview haha
Why wouldn't she be comfortable?
"Strangely she had a way of making them think the violence was their idea" is my favorite line. I always assumed it was in reference to the mental struggle after something violent happened to you.
The most scary thing about Arthur for me is the mouth, the constant open mouth and never talking
It’s a dental manikin skin/shroud, dental students place a headform inside and a dental mouth to simulate working on a patient’s teeth, so without the mouth/teeth it’s just a large hole. You can find the same style as this mask for about $40 online and then have someone add a black mesh insert inside the mouth and paint it to match the colors of the mask in the movie
@@DasUhMAZIN great idea for a halloween costume
He doesnt use his mouth to speak, He uses it to eat
I liked her honesty about not paying the actress. I like her.
"i told him i needed a knife and he pulled one out of his one boot"
bro wtf-
Men are weird
You gotta be prepared for any occasion
lmfao arthur irl
Damnit Cecelia, you're a huge influence to me and this interview means the world.
I'm 52 and I still have this fantasy of being in a shopping centre when it closes down.But it would need to be set in the 80s though lol 😂People from that era live in their heads.
I wrote that , it's funny I read old comments and think wow someone is like me.Then realise I wrote it 😊
Wow, this is a good interview, I think. A good blend of talking both about the work and the interviewee in question.
I never knew I needed an interview directed by David Lynch.
Jokes aside, the art direction, the flow of the conversation, particularly the editing and the use of green screen (was it a green screen?) are excellent! I really love the surreal, off-kilter personality of this interview.
1:03 THE STAFF INTERACTION YESSSS
I wanna know how she found that mask in the basement of a dental school and I want to know what she was doing in the basement of a dental school where she found that creepy mask
they probably put fake teeth in the open mouth for students to practice on
but why she was there i really don’t know lol
I believe it came off of a dental phantom. Basically mannequin heads with teeth. I've found pics online of some with similar faces like the mask
It kinda looks like the album cover of ‘the bends’
Watching possibly in Michigan feels like an itch that you can’t scratch no matter how hard you try.
Her, and this short film always gave me Shelly Duvall vibes
Like if Shelly Duvall was cast as a character, she'd fit right in
she creates scary art bc she’s frightened. i feel seen
Wow- her story here is pretty inspiring. Hats off to everyone involved in making this interview happen.
She’s so well spoken
a cinematography icon, i love the surrealist and expressionistic vibe of possibly in Michigan so much. and her suit looks lovely!
🎶Oh oH Oh oH… OH oh Oh oh k spooky 🎶
😂
I will ALWAYS love Cecilia, she does great🙏🏻
It’s been 38 years since this movie was made in somebody should remake this into a feature length Netflix movie or do a trilogy of three different stories with him feature-length
Like what they did with fear street
nah netflix would ruin it
@@autumn7330 true
Length ≠ better quality. It would just add unnecessary details and take away the intrigue of the story. Cecelia Condit would’ve made it longer if she felt it needed to be. Having her work wrung out and stretched unnecessarily wouldn’t be “better”, it would be a cash grab.
It was made in 2018-
Why can’t I stop watching this but I have no fucking idea what is going on bravo
This lady and interview is literally everything
she seems so kind, i love her energy 💕 cecelia is amazingly talented, her work is some of my absolute favorite. i'm glad possibly in michigan blew up on the internet so more people can appreciate such unique and evocative work!
I loved this video! A great interview with a really interesting artist! Some of the added video effects and edits didn't frame very well, but most of them were super interesting and unique!
Very well directed and edited
The production style of this interview is unmatched! Way to keep it interesting. Just discovered Eternal Family and I'm excited to dig in.
Cecilia Condit is so charming and self aware. Fantastic interview.
Is it weird that Possibly in Michigan is my comfort video? I don’t understand why people find it so scary
Same. It’s unsettling for sure, especially when it shows the girls and then transitioning to decaying bodies/faces, but overall I really love it, I don’t know why, it’s almost soothing in a way.
The story behind it is why.
I feel similarly. I enjoy the lesbian vibe especially when they're smoking in the kitchen 😌
@@tkhachi Same
i think it’s because people don’t look further into it
Why is this interview as scary as the movie 😂😂😂
😭😭😂
Aaaaah this was so sweet, i loved this interview! It's so interesting
I just fell into this rabbit hole after watching a tiktok featuring the song. I am now hooked with her work
This interview flows with creativity and insight how to use the most scariest scenario and still hug you like a friend while taking you, in pieces, to the kitchen.
6:58 "I uh... I forgor 💀" -Nanashi Mumei
Thank you so much for sharing this with us my Eternal Family 💜
This is so great! I love Cecelia's work, and dream of being in one of her projects.
Amazing, cant get enough of her.
The biggest inspiration thank you !
“You think you kill me.. But boogeyman never go away.”
I screamed so loud i cried.
"....thats funny" she says with a goofy spooky mask 😅
From the moment I first watched possibly in Michigan, I fell in love with it. It's so cool to meet the woman behind the work of art.
There should be a sequel to possibly in Michigan.
i personally think that it’s that kind of movie that doesn’t really need a sequel but i would love to see more of cecelias work for sure!!
@@babysbreathhh Perhaps not a sequel but a similar situation in a modern surrounding. Arthur is kind of a Freddy Krueger or a Jason he could be an Internet stalker. There could be an amazing parallel story with a modern twist showing the more things change the more they stay the same. The Hunter gets captured by the game.
what we need is a reunion!!
@@TomYaz I love that idea!!!
Like Luc said, a cast reunion, where everyone from in the film talks about their memories of each other, of making the film, of what they think of it now, of their lives since then, and everything. That would be so amazing! The casts of tons of sitcoms did cast reunions like that over video calls over the last several years, so this cast could do it over video or in person if possible. I know so many people would love to see that! ~ Not discounting the sequel ideas and other stuff too, I would love it all, if Cecelia would want to make a sequel or let someone else make a sequel for PIM, it's just this interview got me excited about a cast reunion discussion!
fuck the aesthetics of this interview so good
Question, for anybody who knows…
about the corpses in the film, were they real? Something I’ve always wondered. I’d think that it’d be illegal to film bodies, but I don’t know.
No the corpses are a mix of actors and wax props
i thought for the corpses they used hings like poultry and like meat in general to make it gross and unsettling and also realistic and raw. they could have also used clay and like the comment above me said wax
I believe they are black and white photos of mummies.
I love Arthur, he's a nice villain and sometimes he's funny, because he could idk break the door like a normal person, and he grabbed a rock and HITTED THE WINDOW WITH IT and HAHAHAHAHAH he looked like kinda silly
truly a generous artist. her film says so much on its own and here she is telling us even more. so many artists withhold stuff like this. lovely interview.
Why does the man with the OPEN mouth kinda look like the boy from home alone, but in a cursed Way-
Yea it actually does
I can’t believe I’m just now finding this video! She’s such an interesting woman, so glad she’s still creating
so ahead of her time, the music , the graphics , she captured the horror ambience in her own way , so beautiful
POSSIBLY IN MICHIGAN IS SO GOOD DONT PLAY WOTH ME RN
WOTH?
@@kirathecutesylveondeltarune WOTH
This was a great interview! Loved the editing too. I’ve always heard the “she must have been out of her head” audio being used but only now thought to look into its origin and I’m glad I did ! Cecelia’s movies, (especially Possibly in Michigan) are so interesting and unsettling to me. It also blows my mind that she was able to heal through her own art!
idk what to say, that interview is strangely comforting
This movie has become such an amazing piece of art. Not just horror and I couldn't be happier that you guys hosted this interview with her. She is fascinating.
I couldn't believe where the Arthur mask originated. knowing that she got it from the basement of a dentist school in the 80s. I couldn't think of a more
Organic means of finding something so unsettling.
She’s so smart, love her
I love this thank you for sharing ❤️
i really loved her video it was legit very calming to me..
I love this shes is an amazing/talented person and her work is super good ❤❤❤
this style is so interesting to me, i love it
"They told you that you were mean to them"🙁
:((
It's amazing that POSSIBLY IN MICHIGAN isn't recognized as legendary more than it already is
I’ve been a fan of Cecilia condit for years!! She’s so so so sweet and all of her works are so visually stunning and close to my heart, I wish the best for her and I am so inspired by her 🩷
fantastic interview on all fronts
love cecilia!!! also this is so cool like OMG
this is amazing
What a treat!
NO WAY!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!
Loved this
Brilliant
lovely interview. her answers about her work are so thoughtful and clear. i really admire artists that move with that much intent
I would love to know if Cecilia is a fan of Robert Ashley. Possibly in Michigan is a like a strange cousin of Perfect Lives in a way.
wonderful!
LEGEND!
This interview looks like it was directed by Cecilia
I love Possiblity in Michigan
She’s amazing
This is awesome
absolute genius
this was a fever dream and i loved every bit of it, i'd totally be her friend lol
she’s so old now 🥺
I love the great work he does and it doesn't impress him that he's very scared too (I'm like that too) ,now that I think about it people who make horror movies and things must be scared to does the public have it too?
this is a fucked up interview...and i love it!
Arthur’s mask freaks me out
You are so lucky
shes so brilliant
she is the sweetest lady ever i swear
I’ve been in the neighborhood it was filmed in and it was shoot in ridge vile Ohio
5:16 "You think you kill me, But boogyman never go away😱"
fantastic
how has her voice managed to stay the exact same for so long
8:12
She said "heads", plural, no mistake....Although that big pause before she said "voices"...might mean she meant to say... "like all the rest of my "demons" I hear in my head (*or heads, plural). Voices...Demons...Too-may-toe...Toe-ma-toe
Wow!
Wow indeed
oh she’s so pretty
You still doin the hand thing?
9 months go
She still so pretty now
what keyboard was used in the music of the film i wanna know because why not
Frets on fire!!!
Im creaming to know
She's really smart
love u cecilia!! anybody know what brand shoes she's wearing? i really want a pair
I did not expect her to still have the Arthur mask! That was cool 🤭 (but also creepy!)
