Paranoid

"Paranoid" was originally written in September of 2019 and filmed the following October with Jordan Hancock and Ryan T. Johnson as the leads. The film was released online in November of 2019 before it was pulled off the channel a year later when writers Joel Green and Rene Garcia decided to remake the film with new actors and a new setting, feeling that the original version was rushed. Rene and Joel re-wrote the film with "Katie" and "Clark" being stalked in a large house-setting, as opposed to the park. Filming took place in April of 2021. With only half of the film having been shot, Rene then thought of an idea of bridging the original short film with the new one. He created the character of "Luke Abernathy" as a way to bridge the two stories together and incorporated the use of parallel dimensions. The original short film would then act as the opening sequence to the brand new "Paranoid" short film and would follow Luke trying to learn what happened to his sister. Meanwhile, the "newer" versions of Katie and Clark would have the same events happen to them but taking place in an alternate reality.
