PROJECT SCREAM
βHe lets out a gut-wrenching, soul-heaving scream, completely out of control. It is the kind of scream that makes you see dots and causes the light of the world to fade to black as your body nearly faints.β
- A line of action from the O&0 script.
We found ourselves deeply curious about the emotions, release, vulnerability, and utter rawness that comes out of us when we are given an opportunity to simply scream with abandon.
During a pre-production interview with combat veteran, and inspiration for one of our main characters, Ben Riddle, Jack asked Ben to scream. To look down the barrel of the lens and scream at something, or someone, or anything, to quite simply let out whatever feels like it wants to come out. The result was beautiful in all its pain, complexity, and authenticity. Rather than let this intrigue pass us by, we decided to incorporate the idea into our project, inviting all cast and crew to be a part of it, and with intentions of extending this invitation to a wider audience.
