I had worked for The Asylum a while back when they were making awesome low budget original horror films, and creature-features really stuck out for me. My buddies and I would go to a cabin a couple times a year in the northwoods where this town had this weird local legend called The Hodag. It's the craziest thing because they have statues, and key chains, and businesses called like 'Hodag Bowling Lanes' etc. But you travel an hour out of the town & nobody's ever heard of The Hodag.
I knew the concept of the film would be intriguing for people outside of Wisconsin & at the same time be a little wink to the townies who do know. Maybe the real motivation was that I met the actor who played The Hodag on the set of the movie 'Dragon' literally 2 months before we shot my film. Q: I thought it was very well-written and some of that dialogue is very funny.
I caught myself laughing out loud a few times. How much of the characters are based on people you know? A lot of the dialogue is a ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
