One of the upcoming magazines from befores & afters is all about the visual effects of Kane Parsons’ Backrooms. The film, of course, has had phenomenal success at the box office, and is based on Parsons’ original YouTube Backrooms videos.

befores & afters is going deep on the VFX of the film with visual effects supervisor Ed Douglas, several members of the crew, and with Parsons himself.
