I already know how my movie will be, my script, what the movie will be about, and I don't want to change any of my ideas. But, I do want to see who would be interested in the story I'm going to bring to life. Who will be drawn to the world I imagine?
Identifying the right audience is extremely important because, with my ideas, I need to captivate the interest of the right kind of people. So, I decided to ask them.

With these questions, I started finding the audience who would enjoy the story I would soon create.
How? I sent these questions to my friends and family, and they also sent the questions to more people to help me.
After getting a good amount of answers, I already knew that these types of movie are not for everyone, and that's ok. But, most people really love a horror movie that can capture their attention, that has something unique in it, that keeps them tensed, wondering what is going to happen.
The answers to my questions will guide me and help me bring to life all the ideas I have for my story, maybe even making slight changes so more people can enjoy what I have in mind.
Now, the final question is... are you ready to walk into a world that hides darkness and mystery?
