PRODUCTION NAME

The inspiration for my production name 'Sick Rose Production' came from William Blake's poem The Sick Rose.



William Blake

"O Rose, thou art sick!

The invisible worm,



That flies in the night,

In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed

Of crimson joy;

And his dark secret love

Does thy life destroy"

The reason I chose this name is because the juxtaposition of the words 'sick' and 'rose' highlights the bitter sweet nature of love and the fact that it has the power to disappoint. 

The word 'rose' also has strong connotations with love and my film is essentially,  a subverted love story.

The production name does not explicitly include the word 'love' which was also deliberate as in case I wanted to make another short film in the future which was of an entirely different genre, there wouldn't be any reference to 'love' in the production company.
