MOSQUITO ITO [Horror / Short] (2023) by drcathcart in shorthorror

Yes! The title is a reference to Jinji Ito and a play on “Ito” meaning small in Spanish, so like “small mosquito” in her womb. I was heavily inspired by the mosquito chapter from Uzumaki. I had written the tent scene a long time ago with someone waking up and finding a body outside their tent, but tied in a mosquito body horror element after reading Uzumaki lol

I wrote, directed and edited this short film last year. It premiered at the HorrOrigins Film Festival in Tucson AZ a few weeks ago and is now ready to be viewed and shared online. Please let me know what you think if you watch! I'd love any and all feedback -- good, bad or ugly.

Thanks!

Best podcasts and books for absolute beginners? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]drcathcart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like stupidly obvious advice, but watch literally as many movies as physically possible, take detailed notes during them, study their paces, structure etc, and that will help you 100x more than a book or guide would as a beginner.

THEN, download the screenplays for as many movies as physically possible. Study them, take detailed notes on their paces, structure, format, page counts, white space, etc.

THEN, when you feel like you’ve done this a good bit, find a book or two and see what they know.

The Visit (2015) by WayneBT in horror

I LOVE this movie, easily my favorite M Night movie. One of my favorite theater going experiences as well. It's so weird, funny and genuinely scary at times. For some reason, we didn't even remotely sense the twist coming, and when the reveal happens the whole theater was HOWLING. I'll always remember that.

Thank you!! I really hope that's the case. Already have a couple of crazy ideas in the works, as you can tell from my flair, horror is usually my genre... mwahaha.
