Notes: A short film as a commercial to showcase a character of a haunt attraction.
This project was brought to life when Mariah sent me her script and I was inspired to adapt into what it became. (Scroll to bottom to read her version.)
We had no budget, no crew, and non-actors. We filmed the circus set sequence inside the haunt attraction, with props and set dec from American Horror Story: Freakshow. I dressed the set with cheap party supplies but I dressed the room originally years ago when I also hung the circus curtain on a pully rope to draw it open from both sides at the same time.
Shooting at neck break speed, as always, we shot most this all in one night. First at a playground down the road, then in the circus room. We only shot the bedroom nightmare shots on a different night.
