Inspiration for Our Film Narrative

The inspiration for our film came from researching famous missing cases that have to this day never been solved. We became interested in the strange mysterious stories that we read and one called the Sodder Family Mystery caught our eye. These 5 children and their parents on Christmas eve were asleep after a family party, where in the middle of the night their mother realized the house was on fire. When the children father went to rescue the children from their bedrooms their ladder was missing. Days after the fire their ladder was found at a near by embankment.After the fire the children who were believed to have died in the fire was later speculated that they may have been kidnapped instead. This is because when they looked at the wreckage in the fire they found bones with no fire damage indicating they could have been dug up from a grave an planted their. This case has never been solved. 

We really found this story incredibly compelling and became interested about the information of the supposed kidnapping and the bones being found with no fire damage created a sense of a great start for a narrative of our own. We want to create a film idea including some kind of kidnapped and one that includes a lot of questions that haven't been answered, this is what inspired us to make our film and call it six small bones as it will evolve around bones being found creating the inner mystery for our film.
