When I started researching for my production, I really wanted to do a a teen comedy movie in Brazil. I wanted to focus the genre of the film in the Drama/ Comedy. Having a mixture of a party like Project X, comedy like Hangover and drama like Mean Girls. To me a movie with these characteristics would be a perfect film. However that Idea feel through quickly. I wasn't able to record the movie in Brazil, and everything seemed to be falling apart.
I come back from Brazil and my plan completly fell through, and I had to come up with an idea quickly. I had no idea which direction I wanted to go anymore, so I just kept doing research till I found something that inspired me. After weeks of having no direction and just doing research here and there, every idea i had just seemed to crumble in my head and suddenly i would be back to having no idea at all.
One day I came across this new documentary on Netflix called American Nightmare based on a true story after a harrowing home invasion and kidnapping in 2015, a couple is accused of staging the ordeal when the woman reappears, haunting the couple with a new series of tortures. Although this an extremely sad and unfortunate event in the documentary the kidnapping was suppose to be for the boyfriend (Aaron) ex-girlfriend.
The documentary gave me the inspiration of combining all of the elements that I already wanted use but with some mystery and "crime" involved. But I had no idea of how I wanted to incorporate all of these aspects into my film.
Regardless of my original plan falling through and me having no idea of what I wanted to do for weeks I still pushed through and ended up find a something that got me excited about my production again.
Now, I need to work on figuring out how I want to incorporate all of these elements that would make a perfect movie for me into this trailer!
