Director's Commentary

Final product



We couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole shoot; the idea of my sister being in a cage was too hilarious. At one point I was wondering if we'd have to work through the night. At first it was hard to get going because my sister's friend, who was behind the camera, couldn't contain her smiles and that spurred everyone else on, however once the friend left the room things started flowing smoothly and we finally got through the first scene.
Nick (the guy in the clip) was pretty much the only one talking in the clip and, although he was trying his best, I doubted that many of the takes would work as I felt his speech was too quick. After a while, though his speech was still a bit too fast his facial features became just twisted and sinister enough to add a subtle tone of menace.
My sister (the girl in the clip) has always been interested in acting however she never pursued it, so I thought this might peak her interest. Personally I've never seen her cry but her fake crying is on point; first of all we sprayed her face with water to make it appear as though she's been in utter tears and even then the fact it doesn't show on camera emphasizes that fact that the antagonist has been crying so much that her tear ducts have stopped working.
By the way they did sign the appropriate consent forms:
