Last week I posted the first part of my Game Night with the team behind the film "Murder Bury Win," featuring writer and director Michael Lovan, as well as the core trio of actors in Mikelen Walker as Chris, Erich Lane as Adam and Henry Alexander Kelly as Barrett. We played some Hangman in that … Continue reading “Murder Bury Win” Interview | Game Night Part 2, with Michael Lovan, Mikelen Walker, Erich Lane and Henry Alexander Kelly | The Filmcraziest Show
Here’s a special episode of my podcast The Filmcraziest Show, where I was joined by the team behind the new dark comedy Murder Bury Win, including writer and director Michael Lovan, as well as the core cast of the film in Mikelen Walker as Chris, Erich Lane as Adam and Henry Alexander as Barrett.

Some of our conversation topics in this half-hour episode, which is very lite on spoilers by the way, we chat our favourite board games, designing the actual game in Murder Bury Win as well as the designs of other indie games that show up in the film that aren’t playable, and we also get into scenarios where we ourselves think of how we’d kill someone and dispose of the body… We also chat Leprechaun and Irish accents, our own competitive natures and more.
Chris (Mikelen Walker), Adam (Erich Lane) and Barrett (Henry Alexander Kelly) are aspiring entrepreneurs trying to sell the latest indie board game hit, the titular Murder Bury Win, where the premise is to kill someone and get away with murder. After their fundraising campaign on a site called Game Changer isn’t successful, they’re invited by a mysterious caller (Craig Cackowski) to his cabin in the middle of nowhere. He wants to publish their game, with the understanding that he is the sole owner and he will just give them cold hard cash. A freak accident occurs here, and the trio have to use everything they’ve learned from their game to dispose of the body so they can keep their dreams of board game fame alive. I love these kinds of films that start with innocent games that then become a little too real. Think recent hits like Game Night, Ready or Not, or even Jumanji. The charm of this film definitely comes from its screenplay (written by Michael Lovan, who also directs, with a story by credit to John Hart), as the film itself was partially funded by Kickstarter, which really helps make the film’s commentary on the struggles of indie creators feel more authentic.
