A Funny Story

With my choice to make a horror film a unique opportunity arose for me to bring a former character of mine to the screen. I have been acting since about the age of six, in movies, commercials, TV shows etc. This allowed me to build up a resume and even have an account on the Internet Movie Database of as its more commonly know: IMDB (its linked if you wanna check it out for yourselves). One of my credits for a movie that I did called "The Test", had quite an unfortunate name. I was credited as the young rapist (it has since been changed to young boy), and for someone on the outside looking in that title might look very peculiar. That's exactly what my friends thought of it when they decided to look me up on google and found the shocking title. I was teased about it for a while but eventually I accepted the fact that it was on the internet and it would be there forever so I may as well get used to it. However, after I conducted my research (which you can find in the previous post) and came to the conclusion that I wanted to make a horror film opening, an opportunity brought itself upon me that I couldn't refuse: I was going to make this film opening an ode to the character that brought me so much torment in past years, the young rapist. Of course the opening will not be about a child sexual predator rather, it will focus on the mannerisms that one might have. One idea that I have been throwing around the past few days among my peers was to incorporate the character through a thriller that could revolve around a stalker. Many of them seem to agree that this would allow me to set a tone of suspense and horror in my film opening.
