But Parsons, aka Kane Pixels, created an entirely new mythology with his eerie found-footage style shorts, which he began uploading in January 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Backrooms | Official Trailer HD | A24\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0HjdiohVOik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Created using Blender, the teenage filmmaker perfectly captured what made the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/04\/02\/the-terrifying-original-story-of-backrooms-explained-as-film-trailer-is-released\/\">Backrooms<\/a> terrifying while creating a comprehensive story of his own. His videos have amassed millions of views, and there\u2019s just as much anticipation for his feature length adaptation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Written by Will Soodik, the film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell, and centres on the characters\u2019 journeys after a strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Significantly, the liminal horror aesthetic has been perfectly preserved in the big screen adaptation, which was no mean feat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How Kane Parsons brought the Backrooms into the real world<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parsons previously revealed on Discord that around \u201c90 per cent\u201d of the film was created using practical sets, utilising approximately 30,000 square feet of space.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4443\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4443\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4443\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kane-parsons-backrooms-2.jpg\" alt=\"Chiwetel Ejiofor in Backrooms\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kane-parsons-backrooms-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kane-parsons-backrooms-2-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kane-parsons-backrooms-2-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4443\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: A24<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film Shrine took the opportunity to ask the filmmaker more about the behind-the-scenes process of bringing the world to life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parsons explained that despite the scale jump from YouTube shorts to a full A24 production, his creative process, at least at the beginning, remained surprisingly similar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like his original Backrooms videos, the filmmaker first built the environments digitally inside Blender, creating concept art and scenes before production had even begun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt started just with concept art,\u201d he told us. \u201cI\u2019d go into Blender and try to realise these spaces without pulling punches really, and present different shots from the hypothetical film before it\u2019s been made.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those early renders eventually evolved into full production blueprints once filming moved into pre-production. According to Parsons, the team used the Blender layouts to help map out the practical sets across multiple stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe already had a file with the layout that we were looking for for the film,\u201d he explained. \u201cThen it was a period of fine-tuning the Blender map that I\u2019d made so things would fit inside the fire lanes and everything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4444\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4444\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

were able to work directly from his 3D files when constructing the physical environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019d send the file to the art department, and

If it\u2019s dark, disturbing or dominating Netflix, Daisy is probably already writing about it.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DaisyWebb77"],"jobTitle":"Editor at Film Shrine","url":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/author\/daisythetab-com\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/filmshrine.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/26\/kane-parsons-how-he-created-the-backrooms-nightmare-world-film-interview\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Kane Parsons went back to the beginning to create the Backrooms\u2019 nightmare world IRL","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/26\/kane-parsons-how-he-created-the-backrooms-nightmare-world-film-interview\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/26\/kane-parsons-how-he-created-the-backrooms-nightmare-world-film-interview\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kane-parsons-backrooms-150x150.jpg","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/kane-parsons-backrooms.jpg"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daisy Phillipson"}],"creator":["Daisy Phillipson"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Film Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png"},"keywords":["a24","backrooms","film","horror"],"dateCreated":"2026-05-26T20:45:05Z","datePublished":"2026-05-26T20:45:05Z","dateModified":"2026-05-26T20:45:05Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"wp-parsely-metadata\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Kane Parsons went back to the beginning to create the Backrooms\\u2019 nightmare world IRL\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/26\\\/kane-parsons-how-he-created-the-backrooms-nightmare-world-film-interview\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/26\\\/kane-parsons-how-he-created-the-backrooms-nightmare-world-film-interview\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/kane-parsons-backrooms-150x150.jpg\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/kane-parsons-backrooms.jpg\"},\"articleSection\":\"News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Daisy Phillipson\"}],\"creator\":[\"Daisy Phillipson\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Film Shrine\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/04\\\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png\"},\"keywords\":[\"a24\",\"backrooms\",\"film\",\"horror\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2026-05-26T20:45:05Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-26T20:45:05Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-26T20:45:05Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/filmshrine.com\/p.js"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4438"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4445,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4438\/revisions\/4445"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4438"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=4438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
