 Although CRANK appears as a homage to the Italian Giallo genre films of the seventies, it actually isn't. CRANK is a Giallo in its truest form. It's an incidental psychological exploration into ones own inner uncharted territory. The idea for CRANK came about during a conversation with Pilgarlic cast member, Diane Raeside, who had experienced a similar incident with her new cellphone. The shoot went through an interesting situation. Trying to juggle cast and crew schedules became a cluster f@#$%! The entire film was shot in one night, late February, in five hours. Editing took a month with special attention paid to the sound mix and soundtrack. I wanted the film to have an edge into the lead characters psychosis, so the soundtrack was extremely detailed to fit each sequence of the film perfectly. Joseph E. De Leo writer/director Feb 21, 2005
