So I failed to realize that I haven't given out much information about "Curiouser" as a film..... Let's chalk that up to the insane amount of distractions currently going on!
So what exactly is "Curiouser" about?
Plot: A somewhat familiar girl struggles to find her place in the world. As the seeds planted in her youth begin to take over her conscious thought, her mind splinters and a battle of duality ensues. The answers and resolution to this lies back down the rabbit hole in this nightmarish follow-up to Lewis Carroll's masterpiece, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
This short film takes inspiration from not only Lewis Carroll's work, but also from writers such as Chuck Palahniuk and American McGee.
This film really focuses on what happens when you become trapped in a world that doesn't exist. It's a common theme that is happening in our world today with people getting lost in the world of online gaming, TV and book series, and films. We as a society tend to create a alternate perception of ourselves, and these entertainment outlets give us a chance to explore them and build a world for them to live in. While I don't see any problems with people breaking away from the daily grind and sinking in to a special place to unwind, certain people forget escapism does has a fine line at some point. I think this film is a culmination of what happens when that line is crossed, shattered, and blown to hell and back.......
I think what makes this story so much fun for me is this is just one of my interpretations...... I have several more I could regale you with, but that is something for another time!
I think it's important that people try to view this story from their perspective. To some, they may just see Alice all grown up and struggling with a world without imagination. Some will see this as a loss of innocence, some will see this as a case of fangirl gone mad (like myself), and then some just come for the blood!
The film is slated to begin shooting this August, and I hope that when it is complete it will be a Alice in Wonderland story that will stick with you for a long time!
You got my attention...especially with the reference to American McGee. Alice was one of my favorite computer games back in college! I am a local actor and musician with experience in the horror genre. Please contact me and I can forward you my performance resume.
