"My idea began from a desire to create my own film, and having this task was the perfect opportunity to do so. However, wasn’t entirely sure what to make my film about. After I began writing each scene for my film, I eventually came up with a plot twist; my main female lead’s car crash scene where she dies. This led to me to finding a perfect ending for the protagonist Elio, which I had been struggling with previously. This also provided me with a way that the audience could connect with Elio in the short time they had to connect with him- through the 7 stages of grief over the loss of a loved one."
