What If Another Version of You Chose Better? | Guest: Coherence Director James Ward Byrkit

What if another version of you made the right decision… and you’re the one left living with it?


In this powerful Feature Friday episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane & Coco, we’re joined by James Ward Byrkit, director of the cult-favorite sci-fi film Coherence. Together, we explore the emotional and philosophical depths beneath the film’s improvised structure, from regret and identity to creativity, curiosity, and the lives we didn’t choose.


Byrkit shares how Coherence was filmed without a traditional script, why embracing limitations unlocked freedom, and how actors were guided through confusion without ever being handed answers. The conversation expands into art, empathy, alternate selves, and why creativity and love are resources that never run out.


This episode is essential listening for filmmakers, artists, sci-fi fans, and anyone who’s ever wondered “what if?”
