I first helped write the script as a graded assignment during my freshman year of college, a loose adaptation of Flannery O’Connor’s A Good Man Is Hard to Find. Years later, I returned to that early work with a very different perspective. Using video editing software, I spent several months revising the project, reshaping the narrative, and adding a music soundtrack that changed its emotional tone.
Working with Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas, I remastered a second-generation copy of this campy student feature, treating it as both a restoration and a reinvention. I allowed myself to diverge from O’Connor’s original story, taking creative liberties that reflected my own sensibilities and questions about the material.
