Why I’m Finally Making This Film

I’ve been writing this screenplay for years. Today, it stops being a stack of pages and starts becoming a film.

 

Love’s Dark Origin Story is a psychological short about a love story that quietly turns into something else — and about what it costs one woman to keep herself safe. I wrote it because most love stories stop right before the interesting part: the part where two people have to live with who the other actually is. I wanted this one to earn its darkness instead of announcing it.

 

I’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise $25,000 to shoot this film properly — real locations, real equipment, a fairly paid cast and crew, and the sound work a quiet, dialogue-driven story depends on.

 

If you’ve seen my previous videos and photos, you already know visual storytelling is what I do. This is the biggest version of that yet, and I’d love to have you along for it.
