Thanks for watching the sequel to my most successful video on the channel. This was a fun but challenging project that pushed me out of my comfort zone. I felt the first " Hotel Visitor " was underserving of the attention it received due to it being a run-and-gun type shoot, a basic idea with improvised and "thrown-together" scenes that didn't really land well. I never expected it to reach its current view count of 2.2 million views but I can only cross my fingers this sequel will reach the same numbers. Though it's not perfect and you can see some jankiness in it, its probably the best thing ive made so far with all the mixture of skills I've learned towards filmmaking so im proud of it. I wrote the first script for this short film around 2 and a half years ago, soon after the first one came out. Over time, with different re-writes and cut scenes, I was able to hone in on a final script back in January of 2025 that was filmable (there were a lot of expensive ideas that got cut ). Along with the collaborative effort of everyone involved I was able to finally make a " worthy " sequel that did some new things. Or some of the old stuff, but better. It was fun, and hopefully ya boi can get this onto Spook Scary Sunday.
