Singularity

Singularity was my first film made entirely of my own impetus. It was designed merely as a creative outlet for my filmmaking, and as such I have some regrets as to the definite lack of effort put in, on my part, to the script. It was based on a short story i'd written and, since I had that jumping-off point, it seemed like an easy story to film and I write a quick adaptation.
     The story centers on an introverted college girl who is slowly drawn out of her shell by the irrepressible Simon and finds herself head-over-heels in love with him. The catch (because, of course, there must be a catch) is that he's dead. Sound familiar? Yeah, the plot was not the most original. Perhaps the greatest defining feature of the film, and what set it apart from such romantic fare as Just Like Heaven, was the fact that, in the end (spoiler alert) the girl and Simon don't end up together. They love each other, but Simon sees that she needs other people in her life and, ultimately, drives her away for her own good. I still like this concept, and the roles are wonderfully played by Daniel Greco and Hannah Sorenson. However, I would have liked to spend some time re-working the script and just generally polishing, which I believe could have made it into a significantly better film.
