Mark Duplass Slams Rumor Kane Parsons Didn’t Direct ‘Backrooms’: “Kane Was 100% In Control”

Although some of the cast and crew got lost on the set of Backrooms, writer/director Kane Parsons apparently knew where he was going.

Mark Duplass, who stars in Parsons’ feature debut based on his 2022 web series, defended the 20-year-old filmmaker against speculation he “absolutely didn’t direct this movie,” which makes him A24‘s youngest director ever.

“Hmmm, with all due respect I don’t remember seeing you on set,” he wrote in response to one fan on X. “When I was there, Kane was 100% in control. More so than many directors 3x his age.”
