The Story
Hi there.
Did you sleep well last night?
Yeah, we didn't either.
Along with a lot of pre-production work, some really
haunting thoughts and nightmares have been keeping us up...
We're not talking about monsters or serial killers or demons or even clowns...
we're more preoccupied with Gaslighting.
No, not that kind of gas light.
We want to help the world wake up from a very real -- and very common --
form of psychological manipulation known as "Gaslighting."
UrbanDictionary.com describes Gaslighting as:
“A systematic pattern of abuse by which the abuser manipulates factual information
to give the victim the impression that they cannot trust their own senses…
making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity.”
Wikipedia adds, “The instances may range from the denial by an abuser
that previous abusive incidents ever occurred up to the staging of bizarre events
by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim...
...The term owes its origin to the 1938 Patrick Hamilton play ‘Gas Light’
and its 1940 and 1944 film adaptations.”
When we did our first Seed & Spark campaign last fall to raise money for the film,
our working title was "Project Gaslight," as a nod to those classic films. Then, as the team further developed the story and the characters, we decided on the title "Seed of Doubt."
You know...planting the "seeds" of doubt, worry, or concern in someone's mind. Making a person doubt their sanity. And, as you'll see, the word "seed" has more than one meaning for the film ;)
Because Gaslighting is not well known, we wanted to bring this story to our current generation. In order to develop powerful and realistic characters, dialogue — and a riveting-but-accurate plot — we contracted with subject matter expert and Gaslighting victim advocate Angie Racine. Angie, a survivor of more than two decades of Gaslighting from her former abusive husband, is the founder and creator of of 4 I'Ve HOPE and #WhatIsNonPhysicalDomestic Violence. Angie has been an incredibly valuable script consultant and advisor for the film. She is excited to share the film with her thousands of followers on Social Media, and she plans to attend screenings and promote the movie through her speaking engagements and writings.
Many of you probably know someone who has been traumatized by psychological manipulation and abuse as well. Heck, a lot of people think our whole country is getting "Gaslit" in the current political climate. So we developed a real-life story that we feel needs to be told. Now.
No, seriously, we are finalizing our cast right now (wait until you see who we have lined up!)...and we're getting all the pieces in place so we can start shooting as planned this summer.
The clock is ticking.
All nightmares aside...Rest assured "Seed of Doubt" has a riveting plot line, well-developed characters, incredible cinematography, top-tier special effects, a fantastic original score, and (may we say) a pretty amazing cast and crew. Far from your standard horrific gore-fest, this feature film will be a sophisticated psychological thriller with a serious message.
Oh, and we'll have a few comedic elements thrown in there, too.
So...we need help from you to make it happen.
Give the project a "LIKE."
Check out our Campaign Initiatives and consider supporting the film.
You are going to LOVE the original songs and score by Dichotomy.
And if you're an audiophile, be one of the first to reserve an original VINYL LP.
Yes, for your recrord player. The mix tape is up to you.
Want your name up on the Big Screen? Opt to become an associate producer.
Want a weekend at Sundance Resort or BigSky, Montana?
Help make our dreams come true by supporting us with a nice contribution.
The great news is that this isn't a far-fetched dream that will take years
and years to become a reality. We are shooting this summer and moving straight into post...with the whole team focused on having the film finished by the end of 2018.
In addition to being an entertaining and beguiling film, we're hoping "Seed of Doubt" will also shine some light on this common but often misunderstood form of emotional abuse and manipulation. And we're hoping that awareness can help some individuals and our community wake up from the communal nightmare of Gaslighting.
Synopsis:
Melissa and Scott Henderson finally have it all. After years of struggling as Scott worked his way through medical school and residency, and as Melissa fought an opioid addiction, they are finally able to purchase their dream home. Melissa, an artist, is clean and expecting the couple’s first child, and Scott is at the top of his game, having just joined a private practice in Obstetrics.
The reality of new homeownership, however, sends the couple into a desperate search for extra cash. Melissa’s sales dry up, and she finds herself exhausted, stressed, and uninspired to create new work. Scott, pulling 80+ hour weeks at work, is overwhelmed by house repairs and maintenance. So they take on tenants to live in the guesthouse on their property.
Scott and Melissa are convinced that Tyler Thomas and Alex Schofield are a perfect fit. Tyler is a construction worker whose skills and tools are much needed around the house. Alexandra is a home health aide who can help Melissa around the house as her due date approaches. Melissa and Alex become fast friends, and for a while, life is great for both couples. And then it seems like Melissa begins to lose her mind.
It starts with her finding paintings flipped and art supplies being rearranged, although Tyler, Alex, and Scott swear they haven’t touched them. She also has dizziness spells of increasing severity, but her doctors can’t find a physical reason for them. As things are going downhill for Melissa, Alex announces that she, too, is pregnant. They start to grow closer as they share milestones and preparations for their babies.
As time goes on, Melissa suspects Tyler is somehow responsible for all the odd occurrences, but she can’t prove it. Scott is concerned for his wife, but chalks it up to pregnancy hormones and stress about their ongoing financial issues. When he finds a bottle of prescription medicine, however, he feels like he needs to act. Melissa swears she’d never put their baby in jeopardy, but Scott doesn’t know what to believe. Concerned for her physical and mental well-being, Scott asks Alex to keep an eye on Melissa while he is out of town for his Medical Boards exam.
The night before he leaves for the trip, a drunken Tyler reveals his true character to Melissa. Given her recent track record, Scott thinks Melissa might be exaggerating. She wants to kick Tyler off their property immediately, but Scott convinces her to wait until he returns from his trip.
As soon as Scott leaves, Melissa takes an immediate turn for the worse. She can’t focus or figure out what is real or not. Her life and her child’s life are at stake, and she needs to take matters into her own hands to save them both...
