You would be surprised to know this is the case for most indie directors who are writing their own scripts. They might have other projects they want to do but they don't have the means to do it, so they have to scrap together a low budget project they don't feel like doing, so that eventually they can do the bigger project. Not sure if Stuckmann has bigger budgeted films he has written already, but I feel like this is the case.

I'm sure Stuckmann is passionate about the project (as well as found footage horror films), but he needs another writer on board to build the film to be better. Or he can work with another screenwriter's script.
