THE STORY
"Project Cupid" is an experimental/ satirical dramedy about two high school students taking an enhanced version of Adderall to perform at the highest level.
BEHIND THE SCENES
The early outlining stages of Project Cupid began in August of 2016. Going into the film, the team wanted to craft a story that would be "like a treasure map." Before writing, the characters were designed in Autodesk Character Generator to get a proper vision of what the characters would look like. The script writing process began April of 2017 and finished that following May with the film titled, "Drugs and Stuffed Toy Animals." Filming was set to begin in August and throughout the three-month gap, the script went through eleven revisions. After a six-day shoot with the cast and crew working eight hours a day, the initial filming process was complete. The script of the film then went under a twelfth and major revision, and was re-titled "Project Cupid." Four additional scenes were shot in December. The editing of the film began in August and ended in January of 2018.

BEHIND THE SCENES
The film's writing process began in December of 2017 and finished in February of 2018, followed by production which ultimately wrapped in June that same year. During the production process, however, Neil Potnis and Daniel Davalillo were constantly updating the script, adding dialogue, and even scenes to accomplish a sense of spectacle. In total, the film took thirteen days in a span of four months to film with ten locations across Houston. This is Launchpad Multimedia's first feature-length film.
