neutral · AI labelView post →Well, to use an example from my own film SINISTER, Ellison Oswalt WANTS to be successful and famous again, he NEEDS to reconnect with his family, his GHOST is his past failures as an author including framing an innocent man, and his LIE is that success will fix everything going wrong in his life.
