That’s a Wrap: Filming Our Psychological Horror

 Day 2 of Filming: The Struggle for the Perfect Shot

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this film opening process, it’s that finding the right location is half the battle. Day 2 of filming took us to Regional, a public park that—on paper—seemed like the perfect setting. In reality? It took a lot of scouting, debating, and second-guessing before we settled on the right spot.

We needed something eerie but natural, isolated yet accessible. So, after what felt like an eternity of wandering around, we ended up near the Everglades, just behind the park. And honestly? Best decision ever. The landscape was surreal—tall grass swaying, the sky looking just off enough to set the mood, and an atmosphere that screamed psychological horror. The shots we got? Insane.

This is the best shot where you can see where we were filming, it was so beautiful.

But, of course, the real adventure started when we showed up to the park… with a dead body in hand. (Obviously fake, but still.) The reactions were priceless. Parents pulling their kids a little closer, joggers slowing down to double-take, and then there was the guy on a bike who just waved and smiled like it was the most normal thing in the world. Honestly, legend.

Filming in a public space definitely added to the chaos, but weirdly, it made the whole process even more fun. We had to work around people, stay in character while getting stared at, and make sure we didn’t cause a full-on panic (because let’s be real, a group of teens dragging a “corpse” through the park is not something you see every day).

At the end of the day, the struggle for the perfect location paid off. We got some of the best shots of the film so far, and the whole experience just made the project even more unforgettable.

After wrapping up in the Everglades, it really hit us—this was our last day of filming. Every struggle, every perfect shot, every weird public reaction led to this moment. Looking back, the chaos made it even better. This project started as just an idea, and now we have something real—something we’re so excited to put together in editing.

Now, all that’s left is post-production. Can’t wait to see how it all comes together.
