The Inception
“It was a crisp fall morning when I got the immaculate room script, with a cup of Yorkshire tea I began to dive into it, As I go deeper into the script, I started to construct the room in my head. Several hours later I ended up with 40 pages of notes and drawings” – Prasanna Paul
The Immaculate Room tells the story of Mike (Emile Hirsch) and Kate (Kate Bosworth), a seemingly perfect couple, join a psychological experiment to compete for 5 million dollars if they can last 50 days in a sleek, white room in complete isolation. No phones, no family — only the Voice of the Immaculate Room keeping them in check if they think of straying. But as the clock ticks down, the Room becomes more than it seems, putting them through cruel tests to break their resolve and resurfacing private demons which they may not survive.
The Mechanics
Brining The Immaculate Room to life wasn’t an easy task. The room is a character on its own, it listens, it communicates, It interact and most of all it pulls your emotions. So we approached it from an organic point of view. “Understanding the mechanics of the room was vital and there was plenty of discussions between me and Makunda (Director/Writer) and after many versions we found the perfect balance which injected life into the Immaculate Room”
The Execution
