One of the hikers, Kelsey Stanford, 27, from Upper Marlboro, Maryland, said that after seeing the filming locations, he wanted to watch the movie again. The hike included a visit to the famous “Coffin Rock.” In the film, the filmmakers travel to the massive rock formation after hearing stories of fur trappers who were supposedly mutilated there. 8 at Seneca Creek leading fans to some of the film’s iconic locations and explaining their significance. Park Ranger Erik Ledbetter led a Blair Witch Heritage Hike Oct. Seneca Creek has grown to embrace the film’s popularity. It had everything we were looking for,” said Sanchez. Sanchez and De Cassan also used to hike and picnic in the park. Sanchez’s girlfriend at the time (now his wife), Stefanie De Cassan, lived a few miles from Seneca Creek State Park, so it was a “totally pragmatic decision” to shoot the majority of the film there, he said. “There’s this dark, natural world that’s out there,” Sanchez said. His family also went camping in the Shenandoah National Park and he said that helped inspire the decision to have the student filmmakers camp in the woods.Ī lot of the scary moments the students in the film experience in the woods-like noises outsides of tents and the idea that “something is hanging around”-came from Sanchez being scared as a kid, he said. He said the creek was “this forbidden thing” because his mother didn’t want him to get wet or dirty playing in it. “A lot of my early memories of adventure and fear and horror were all in that creek.” He was especially inspired by Long Branch Creek behind his apartment, in Silver Spring, Maryland. They also created their own film company, Haxan Films, which later produced “The Blair Witch Project.” The television series helped inspire Sanchez and Myrick to create this “documentary” of their own about students getting lost in the woods. They bonded over mysterious and creepy documentaries like the “In Search of…” TV series hosted by Leonard Nimoy, which “used to scare the crap out of us on a regular basis,” Sanchez said. Sanchez attended film school at the University of Central Florida, where he met “Blair Witch” co-director Daniel Myrick. Growing up in Maryland inspired Sanchez, who now lives in Frederick, to film the movie in the state. The movie was filmed in 1997 primarily in two locations: the small town of Burkittsville, and Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg. “It was a legend that had to live in this area.” “It was always going to be filmed in Maryland,” he said. Eduardo Sanchez, who grew up in Maryland, was the co-director of “The Blair Witch Project.” He shot the movie in various locations throughout Maryland including Burkittsville and Seneca Creek State Park. One of the film’s co-directors, Eduardo Sanchez, grew up in the Takoma Park area in Maryland, and studied television production at Montgomery College.

Michaela Coel’s landmark limited series was also responsible for HBO’s other victory of the night, winning best scripted series. One of those wins for HBO had been established months ago when the Indie Spirit nominations were first announced, crowning “ I May Destroy You” as the best ensemble cast. Netflix took home three awards, edging out HBO which topped the other two categories. The five new categories - Best New Non-Scripted or Documentary Series, Best Scripted Series, Best Female Performance in a Scripted Series, Best Male Performance in a Scripted Series, Best Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series - had an extremely straightforward set of winners, which cynical minds might suggest is a sign that an organization that specializes in independent film might not be the right awards body to dabble in the messy business of television. The pair clearly remained supportive of each other throughout the night, however, because when Coel won for Outstanding Writing For A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie, the camera focused on Erivo and Coel as they shared a sweet moment.The 36th Film Independent Spirit Awards made history on Thursday night, with the introduction of television categories which attempt to honor independently-spirited TV series in the same vein as the organization champions independent film. Tonight, both actress were nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie for their respective roles in I May Destroy You and Genius: Aretha (the award was won by Kate Winslet for Mare of Eastown). ![]() Now, Twitter is demanding more details.Ĭoel and Erivo have been friends for over a decade and even worked together on Coel’s sitcom, Chewing Gum back in 2015 (in fact, it was Erivo’s first on-camera speaking role). The moment was made even better when Coel received what looked to be a pep talk from her table-mate, Cynthia Erivo, before she took the stage to accept her award. Just like any awards show these days, the 2021 Emmys has been filled with peaks ( claw manicures and secret charms) and valleys ( A Black Lady Sketch Show getting absolutely robbed), but the night hit a high when Michaela Coel won her first Emmy for writing her semi-autobiographical show, I May Destroy You.

![]() For instance, if you get $1 in casino credit for every $25 played in Rocket, you may try to do a low multiplier strategy here. Some Rocket users use this strategy to get as close to even as possible, risking the least amount of capital, to leverage some sort of promotion that DraftKings is offering for Rocket. This means that if you’re betting $1 every time at a super low multiplier, let’s say 1.01x, all it takes is a single pre-takeoff explosion to negate the winnings of a large number of low multiple wins. The challenge with this strategy is that typically within a decent enough sample size, you will get at least one explosion prior to take-off. This could be something like 1.20x or even as small as 1.01x. The low multiplier Rocket strategy involves repeated bets at the same bet amount, at a very low multiplier. Each rocket launch is an independent event. Because the game is based on probability, it also means that future results have nothing to do with previous results. So, if you bet the same amount, consistently over time, you will likely lose 3% of your money. ![]() Moreover, over the long haul, if you play enough, the overall outcome will converge and match the designed house edge of the game which is assumed to be 3%. There is no perfect way to play the game. First, it’s important to note that Rocket is a game based on probability. Understanding how Rocket works will inform the strategy you use. As you get comfortable, you can start to implement some DraftKings Rocket strategies using the auto mode. When going into auto mode, start simple with just a few bets, so you can get the feel for how multiple runs will work automatically set through the auto mode parameters. Then, as you start to get more comfortable, you can switch over to auto mode. If you’re new to Rocket, I would recommend starting with manual mode so that you can get a proper feel for the game mechanics. You can also set this to stop on a certain amount of profit or a certain amount of loss. As an example, you can set the game to bet on the next 10 rocket launches at $5 per launch and to bail each time at a 2x multiplier. You can also choose auto mode where you can set the following parameters: bet amount, auto cashout, and total bets. You must manually take two actions per rocket: the initial bet, and then the bail out. The manual method is as exactly explained above. Note that DraftKings gives you two betting options on Rocket: Manual or Auto. On occasion, the rocket explodes before takeoff and everyone loses. If the rocket explodes before you bail, you lose.Where you bail out will determine the multiplier you lock-in and determine your payout. The longer you stay on the rocket, the multiplier and payout continue to increase.The rocket will take off, and then players must exit the rocket before it explodes.Before the rocket takes off, you can determine the amount you want to bet.The game play is very simple and that’s part of why it’s so fun (and addictive?). It’s fun to root for these bold users aiming for super high payouts. And, sometimes, when the rocket goes quite high and generates some insanely high multipliers, you can see those brave users that hang on much longer than you were willing to hang on. You also see when each one bails out and how much of multiplier and payout each gets as a result of bailing out. During gameplay, you see the number of other users on-board the rocket with you. While many would argue Rocket is a fun game to play just for your own enjoyment, part of the fun is indeed that Rocket has a group dynamic as part of the game. According to DraftKings, Rocket set a record for gross revenue by an internally developed game when it launched in New Jersey. The game has received plenty of praise by users and players, and DraftKings was eager to show the success and popularity of the Rocket casino game during its 2021 Q3 earnings presentation. Rocket is perhaps the most successful game developed internally by any major online casino operator at this point. Both DraftKings and companies such as Penn / Barstool have invested heavily in their own internal game studios and in-house game development to be able to offer unique offerings to their casino game players. Exclusive games are one of the key ways iGaming operators are able to differentiate between eachother since many online casino apps rely on third-party games that are available on many apps. The DraftKings Rocket game was developed completely in-house at DraftKings, and is a pillar of DraftKings differentiation strategy from other online casino operators. |
