Un coleccionista de libros recibe uno concreto con una nota que pone "el mundo debe saber". Intrigado, decide leerlo para descubrir de qué trata.
Here it is…
Quite honestly, it’s left me speechless. Not because it’s any great cinematic achievement but because it’s like a monumentally bad cook suddenly discovering he can successfully boil water.
OK, maybe it’s not that bad either.
Still, here it is.
“Annotated” began life as a piece of Lovecraftian flash fiction I wrote for a site called MicroHorror. Basically, it was an experiment to see if I could write a story of 666 words or less. Really, it was more of an experiment to see if I could just still write. A crisis of confidence in a writer inevitably leaves a trail half-finished thoughts and dangling participles. After much massaging, I finally finished it. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine and it was done.
That was two years ago.
Since then, I’d been watching, reviewing and analyzing films and if I learned anything, I learned that I wanted to make one. At first, I started writing a very ambitious feature script. Then, I had an idea for a shorter, but still fairly tough shoot. My ideas seemed to keep getting smaller until one day; the fine folks at DOA Bloodbath announced they were going to host a local Lovecraft film festival. Then it hit me. I had a very short story that could be shot with one person on one location. It was the easiest shoot I could possibly think of. Certainly, three months to shoot would be plenty of time.
What could possibly go wrong?
