With the recent cancelation of school and the widespread outbreak of COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, our film ran into some impassible road blocks. Our film severely relied upon the actors that were supposed to be involved with the film. However, with the outbreak, one of our major actors were incapable of leaving their homes to produce the film. Additionally, our film relied upon a public space that was now closed and could not be filmed on. So we had a conundrum to solve. We knew that our original film would not be feasible given the scenario, so we decided to create a new film. But we didn’t start from scratch. We knew we wanted to make a horror film, but we decided to make a film that held some form of reference to the current outbreak. So we decided to create another silent horror film that involved some form of disease or disappearance. We did not really delve deep into the creation process, but we knew that this would be the foundation of our restructured film. The rest of the reorganization was still be completed and is yet to be finalized in print.
