carolina’s lust
A Latina writer, Carolina, flees the chaos of city life for a quiet cabin. A place where the lines between her tumultuous past, forbidden desires, and the romance she writes blur, while reality and fiction dangerously intertwine.
THE STORY
Raised in a religious environment, Carolina struggles to embrace her sexuality, torn between surrendering to her desires and resisting her impulses, haunted by the fear of where they might lead.
Determined to confront her darkest desires, she retreats to a secluded cabin in the woods to write her first novel, inspired by a passionate and tumultuous relationship from her past.
The cabin’s only neighbor is Noah, its caretaker, who lives in a small chalet nearby.
As the days pass, Carolina’s writing grows increasingly intense, drawing her deeper into a world of forbidden desires and repressed fantasies.
Gradually, the boundaries between fiction and reality begin to blur, forcing Carolina to confront the feelings she has long buried and leading her toward an unexpected ending.
THE STRUCTURE
Carolina is structured like a movie. There is a clear beginning, middle and end following the main characater complete arc.
Although part of a bigger series, Carolina is a self-contained product, marketable by itself, able to be submitted to festivals and distributed as soon as post-production ends.
The limited nature of the project allows production to target celebrities for the lead part, such as Alexa Demie, Jenna Ortega, and Camila Mendes.
Carolina is a film, but also a tease for an audience thirsty for more contents following the same creative line.
TONE & STYLE
The movie starts in New York’s Jackson Heights, drenched in colors, noise, heat and chaos. In the part, the cinematography will be filled with handheld movements and docustyle photography.
Once we move to the cabin, the quietness and isolation will also be translated into the screen. Contrast is the word here.
Defining silences. Handheld give way to steady and butter-like dolly movements. Colors turn into shades. Dark and ominous.
The eerie soundtrack will lead us into Carolina’s arc as she slowly falls into madness.
It’s Spike Lee meets David Fincher.
