On a recent episode of Dead Talk Live, the cast and crew of the upcoming spring 2023 movie The Unseen joined us to talk about the creation of the storyline, production details, and more. Screenwriter and cast member Jennifer A. Goodman, director Vincent Shade, actress Rebekah Kennedy, and producer and cinematographer Ryan Atkins all sat down to weigh in on their contributions. 

Starring RJ Mitte, famous for his role as Walter Jr. on AMC’s Breaking Bad, The Unseen focuses on a law student who gets caught up in a twisted web of murder and deceit that is rooted in his dark past. Mitte portrays Tommy Olson while writer and actress Goodman doubled her workload by portraying Lindsay Olson. For Kennedy’s part, she plays Milly. 

As for the inspiration behind Tommy’s character, Goodman explained that as a neurodiverse person, she drew from her own life to create the character and the plot. 

“I feel like a lot of writers — especially me as a writer — I take a lot of my own experiences,” the actress and storyteller explained. “People I wish I was like, or people I resent, or people I’ve come across, or even my own personal experiences or moments in my life where I had something happen to me, and I’m like, ‘Wow, people should know about this.’”
