It feels like there’s a genuinely great Death to Smoochy-meets-Shutter Island story buried somewhere inside the psychology of children’s entertainment.

And that’s when the idea hit me. Not a horror movie about The Wiggles. Not a parody. Something adjacent.

Then the filmmaker in me started noticing the visuals. Dutch angles. Strange close-ups. Rack focuses. Odd framing. Shots that, completely removed from their intended context, feel bizarrely unsettling. A few made me think less of a children’s show and more of a Truman Show-style nightmare

The original Yellow Wiggle performed through debilitating chronic pain. Miss Rachel deals with millions of eyes on her every day. Both are doing something genuinely noble, but I can’t stop wondering about the psychological toll of spending your life permanently “on.”

What fascinates me is the commitment. At one point these people were touring the world, doing multiple shows a day, six days a week, singing, dancing, smiling, and being endlessly positive for children. That’s not a character you play for an hour. That’s a second identity you carry with you for yrs

I wrote this the day before ScreenCraft’s collapse was announced and had to make some edits. I’ve always had an interesting relationship with screenwriting contests, and this latest downfall only reinforces why. #scriptsky klmartin2.substack.com/p/screenwrit...

My short You Should Smile More just earned another five-star review, but what moved me most was his comment about how it changed his perspective on that phrase. I wrote it for myself and my wife, not to make an impact—but knowing it did make me think I’m doing this right youtu.be/255-Nuw0clc?...
