False Positive is a horror-thriller about a
mysterious and possibly dangerous fertility doctor that tackles
some serious themes relating to pregnancy. Director John Lee
explains: "'Mommy brain' is a real thing. Postpartum is a real
thing, and prepartum is a real thing, and so in the movie, we just
wanted to point out how we don't actually talk about it or support
it or, like, actually do anything about it. We give it a cute
phrase."
John also offers advice on how to complete your first draft:
"Get past the first act. Don't keep rewriting the first act. When
you go in to rewrite or you go to write the next day, don't start
on page one; start on the page you left. So if day one, you write
page 1-14, whatever it is, the next day, don't even read it. Just
start on page 14 and go forth… You have to get to the end, and then
you have to basically destroy and rebuild and support as much as
possible after that."
