I enjoyed it. Watched it after I read the screenplay. What was the reason for the changes?

Hey Ray, thanks for watching! This was filmed as the director’s senior project. It was made with no budget, so the special FX required by the ending I had originally written would have been impossible. The director also added the storytelling sequence at the beginning on her own and changed little bits of dialogue here and there. Otherwise, I think it’s a relatively faithful adaptation, and I’m really proud of it.

I liked the screenplay a lot, but I think the lower budget ending worked much better in this case. Regardless, dark closets are back on my “hells no!” list, somewhere between clowns and camel spiders 🙂

Hi,
Why didn’t use some professional lighting?
The lighting is not crisp.

Kosta,

Thank you for watching and commenting. I was also a fan of the changed ending. While I would maybe one day like to see the ending I wrote filmed, I’m pleased overall with the outcome of this.

Ming,

I’m not sure how this was filmed, so I can’t comment on the lighting. I hope you were still able to enjoy the movie. Thank you for watching.
