6. Mental Illness"
Most of the time when mentally impaired
characters appear in thriller films they act as
the antagonist. Our film subverts this and
shows the action from the point of view of
someone who is mentally impaired. This
gives people with conditions like paranoia
exposure which is important for
underrepresented demographics.!
