During the production of “Eleven, we appointed roles very quickly, Jacob would would direct. We discussed the style we wanted and there were a couple directors that inspired us. When thinking of the premise of the film it seems fictional on the surface although is inspired by true events. The first director that Jacob was inspired by is someone who made a similar type of film. This director is named Destin Daniel Cretton. Cretton directed his first Short Film in 2008, called 'Short Term 12' (Short).The film was soon after picked up and made into a feature. The film is about a woman called Grace who works in a foster home, this film is also fictional although it is based on true events. Cretton shot this in a way that looked very much like a documentary, this is something Jacob will bring to the table when shooting Eleven. He used a wide variety of handheld techniques for example, shoulder mounts and stedi-cams.
