Palmer was hired to direct a commercial for a fashion designer. Realizing he'd have the equipment for an extra day, he decided to write and direct a short film. A week and a half later, the cast and crew assembled. Filming was completed in one day.
The dialogue is based on a detailed outline Palmer provided to the actors. About 60% of the spoken lines came straight from the outline. The remaining 40% were improvised on the spot.
I find people who believe in the fantastic sort of inherently funny. I also think they're not always wrong, or off their nut. Sometimes, it's the people who are hellbent on disproving farfetched claims who are the real jokes. With "The Wind Cries Marty," I tried to show what happens when people with strange convictions collide with incompetent skepticism. A kind of clash I think we've all seen.
