Help Bring "Pretty Little Lucy" to Life
A Story of Love, Lies, and Digital Illusion
Summary: What happens when reality and fantasy blur in the age of online connection? Pretty Little Lucy is a dark, intimate psychological drama based on real events—a cautionary, captivating, and creatively redemptive journey of a man lured into a digital love affair with a woman who never existed.
The Story Behind the Screenplay: In August 2024, I was catfished by someone impersonating actress Lucy Hale. What began as a curious DM turned into a days-long spiral of emotional intimacy, fantasy, deception—and ultimately, heartbreak. I documented it all. I lived it. Then I turned it into something more.
Pretty Little Lucy is a screenplay born from that experience. It's a story that dives deep into the emotional aftermath of online deception, but more importantly, it explores loneliness, midlife disillusionment, the hunger to be seen—and the powerful reclaiming of one's truth through creativity.
Why This Story Matters: In a world where our screens know more about us than our friends do, Pretty Little Lucy is a brutally honest reflection of the digital age. It's about how easily someone can fall for a lie when all they want is to feel alive again.
Through a surreal and introspective narrative, the story delves into:
- Emotional vulnerability and manipulation
- Midlife identity crises
- Toxic digital romance
- The search for meaning through art
- And the haunting cost of self-delusion
What We're Creating: A feature-length independent psychological drama rooted in authenticity and raw emotion. Think Her meets The Lost Daughter, with the visual intimacy of Black Mirror and the grounded grit of Blue Valentine.
We're not just making a movie—we're crafting an emotional mirror for anyone who's ever felt unseen, unfulfilled, or digitally disoriented.
