Summary by The Writer!
I am Dalton "Chase the Dream" Crawford, and I have a desire; to see a film of the supernatural that emphasizes humanity in its horror. This film WILL NOT focus on gore or shock value. It will focus on character.
I wrote "The Ringmaster" because I want to make a horror movie that centers on "why" the antagonist does what they do. To show given limits to what they will target and who they will not.
The Ringmaster is a villain that can have fun and be pleasant given the situation. He is also a hero that will spare no punishment to those who destroy innocence. But there are rules he must follow, and he follows them because he genuinely wants to. For he is The Ringmaster, and his Carnivals are either heavenly or hellish. It all depends on what someone has done before he appears.
I have been writing and rewriting the script for almost a year. I have been learning how to make films and taking advice from industry professionals. I have connected and surrounded myself with people who know more than me so that I can always learn.
I am ready to make this film.
