Killing Me Softly

This piece is an excerpt from our most recent film, Killing Me Softly. This film has been the most ambitious film I have ever thought of and worked on.
This film is about Cal, a boy who is dangerously obsessed with a girl at his school, Hannah. Hannah however just sees the best in Cal and looks past his murderous intentions. In this section of the film we see Cal attending a Halloween party that Hannah invited him to, where Cal plans to kill her.
After 5 months of planning, writing, shooting and editing, we completed the film that we did not think would ever be able to be finished. This process was full of challenges and difficulties, but we did not stop and only put more effort into creating our finished product just in time for a class screening. We were so proud of this film because of our determination in finishing the film and not giving up when times got hard. We hope you enjoy!

Being creative is something that has always been important to me because it gives me the opportunity to work on and make something I love. The joy of working on something that I am using my creativity for, most of the time for me that is a film, and coming out with a completed product is unmatched.
