It's basically a storyboard version of the film I had in mind and I'm slowly adding them to my site, one frame at a time. I've been trying to get funding for the film, but after a whole bunch of false starts (which I think is the toughest part of filmmaking), it just felt like I wasn't doing thing with it. I decided to say fuck it and started reinterpreting the project into a graphic novel format. At the very least, I'm feeling creative now.
Here's a one sentence pitch (or the "logline"): A worrisome father takes off for a last-minute work trip, leaving his controlling girlfriend to take care of his reclusive daughter, which leads to jealousy, passive-aggressiveness, and... Bloodshed.
It's a thriller, but it's meant to be funny at times and insightful at others. When I wrote the screenplay, I was very inspired by "Rosemary's Baby", so the through-the-doorframe style is pretty much a direct reference.
I've only started posting these a few weeks ago, so I still have a long journey ahead. Wish me luck!
I loveeeeee love love the design of it, just from that first page I saw. It's beautiful. And the story sounds interesting. I think I'm gonna go ahead and read it from the beginning. Good luck!! E:...

E: I didn't realize how short it was, lol. I am really liking it. Good luck again 😊
Thanks! That means a lot. I'll try and set a schedule for updates. I plan to do at least 3 frames a week. If you enjoy the story so far, please follow along! :D

I did the art myself. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household where creativity was encouraged, so I drew a lot and spent a lot of time thinking about stories, films, art, design, comics, etc. Although it's been a long time since I've drawn something (until this project). As a filmmaker, I've learned to rely on software/premade 3d models to do storyboarding, which ended up being a creativity killer for me. Starting this project is quite a relief because the feedback has been very positive so far.
My suggestion is... Just do it yourself if you enjoy drawing, even if it's just doodling. If the story is compelling, people will read it regardless. The idea of just releasing something out there for people to see is satisfying enough and strangely therapeutic.

As someone looking to start a similar thing in the future, do you make the art yourself, or did you find someone to draw for you?
