decapitated love

A film by Petar Panayotov

Director’s note

“What kind of person would possess the audacity to defy the laws of nature and cling to life even after decapitation? From that initial thought, a character began to take shape in my mind — a narcissistic and manipulative mother who exploits her son to achieve her own selfish desires. This idea laid the foundation for Decapitated Love. The film blends elements of classic horror movies with the nostalgic charm of 80s coming-of-age teen films. The film will resonate deeply with the audience, encouraging them to explore their own capacity for self-actualization and the pursuit of the seemingly impossible. “Decapitated Love” is more than just a project to me — it is a passion that drives me forward. I want this story not only to captivate and entertain, but also to provide a platform for meaningful reflection and emotional exploration.”

LOOKING FOR

We believe Decapitated Love will captivate audiences with its unique blend of early Hollywood tradition and a serious story of toxic maternal dominance. We are seeking co-producers, mainly from the US and UK, but we’re open for ones from other countries as well. Also looking for sales agents, distributors, and financing partners to bring this bold vision to life. We’re open to collaborating with key department heads from co-producing countries and are flexible about completing parts of post-production abroad. Together, we aim to create a film that entertains, provokes, and resonates across borders.
