Creeper | Short Film | Thriller (amateur)

Creeper is my first short film . I pulled it together in two days with no prior planning, I had no idea what I was doing but I felt creative at that moment. I Searched the house for props, an old halloween costume, some martini, etc. I needed to make it interesting showing three different characters, some humour, a little thrill so I played the three roles; Sarah, Stephanie and the Creeper which wasn't that difficult because I just went with the flow. I could not stop laughing lol, so much fun it was! By the way the martini spilling wasn't planned but it was a good laugh! ^^chuckles** The language spoken is (Kwéyòl or Patwa) is a French-based Creole language spoken in the island of Saint Lucia where I come from..

Character, Attitude, Face Value.

Something to make you ponder. We all have our own impressions of other people, but one should not form an opinion on someone based purely on what is seen on the surface , or by what another person's opinion of that individual is; because after taking a deeper look, the person may be very different than what was perceived/expected. Also, never be too quick to accept a story at face value. On that note, lets briefly talk about Character . We have an identity that make us unique ; character traits both good and bad which is already innate in us and it is not subject for change. People of good character exhibit attributes such as honesty, courage, integrity, loyalty, fortitude. They practice self control, they do make mistakes, they learn from it and take responsibility for it. People do not expect perfection but they expect honesty . No one is perfect and everyone is aware of that; depending on the circumstances we sometimes tend to behave out of emotion...

There is magic all around, the high flying shore birds, the hammocks in the ocean, the beautiful flowers, palm trees, the sound of gently lapping waves, the reflection of the sunlight on the ocean, a magnificent sunset, the sensation of the wind blowing through my hair so invigorating and pleasurable.
