Director James Ojala talks about his new film 'Strange Nature', and how a challenging topic like mutations caught his attention
A lot of things can go wrong with mutation, and when it grows beyond the ponds in Minnesota, it can only mean one thing...murder!
James (Jim) Ojala's directorial debut, 'Strange Nature', is an ecological thriller based around the real-life unsolved deformed frog wildlife discoveries that were made in the 90s in Minnesota and how a small town in the Midwest might react when these deadly mutations move beyond the ponds. As his first, the film deals with an extremely challenging topic which has been well-depicted by Ojala who is well-known for his top-rate vfx work in 'Hellboy', 'Buffy', 'X-Men', and '2001 Maniacs'. The film was already released on September 22.
