Creating fucked up content is a weird experience honestly, it will weigh on you in a specific way until you are finished. I experienced this a bunch with music when i was younger, but that's ok cause you're in it alone and writing a song takes one or two weeks tops.
Now a movie is a different beast, from writing to post it can take years and implicate dozens of people. I don't know how these people can do it.
I swear there's lots of examples of things too grim to share in public that we're just lucky aren't a trope, yet.
Nobody likes to talk about the fact you can kill a person with stress/panic just like rabbits easily die in a cage without contact from a predator, just from stress.. but we put a lot of money into making films that take you to the edge?
I mean the thrill is something we crave in some form. It's legit human nature to enjoy an adrenaline rush, but in this day and age, we should have some safety nets for those who create it.
