I originally wanted to write a short film based around alternate worlds/realities. I started researching portals by watching films such as Being John Malkovich and Donnie Darko. Both of these films use the idea of portals to express different areas that were previously unreachable. In BJM the main character travels through a portal into the mind of John Malkovich. I want to emulate this sense of surrealism/absurdity.
This is what happens when John Malkovich discovers the portal and travels into himself. Charlie Kaufman is probably my favourite screenwriter and will factor into my redraft heavily. I also intend to reread Surrealist Art theory.
