This sounds really intriguing and I LOVE the photo you used. It's kinda true for everyone on social media. We come across as someone we're not.

Christine Capone Thanks... every adaptation of Jekyll & Hyde is always about body horror, because it's the gold standard for it, so I thought about what it would look like with social media instead. I was also inspired by Patrick Tomlinson; he's a sci-fi author who's been relentlessly harassed by fans from the old Opie and Anthony days ... he uses his house as an AirBNB and a podcast that just focuses on him and his Tweets used the ad for the house as content and went through it.
Like super creep shit.
I saw that and kept thinking what if it's not body horror but more psychological thriller.

Wow the photo you used is so cool!
Sydney Summers I used BING's AI generator for it... i like to use it to help focus my visual aspects in the script and what a poster could look like. I'm a very visual thinker so getting that aspect squared up helps me focus.
