Hello Filmmakers,
This project is MFA filmmaking thesis film. Genre: Horror Fantasy.
A story about a 9-year-old boy, MAX, who was sexually abused by his biological father, in order to free himself he has to tell his mom the truth but his mom’s eyes and ears have been sewed shut by the Seamster, so he has to steal the golden scissors from the Seamster in order to free his mom and speak out the truth.
The reason why I want to make this movie is I want to speak out, I want to draw people’s attention to the fact that children are actually being sexually abused. The child sexual abuse story that we read on news compare to the story that we don’t know is just the tip of the iceberg. Especially in China, this kind of topic and film it’s like taboo, people aware of those bad things happened around them but they don’t speak out, they remain silent or they even don’t believe their kid. Most of my friends that I spoke with, they told me that they were more or less sexually harassed by their family members. That’s a bad situation and heartbreaker. As a filmmaker I can’t remain silent as well, I felt a strong urge to speak out and make a film to encourage people to speak out as well.
Looking for filmmakers who can help us tell this important story.
Thank you!
best,
Maggie
