Stranded is a psychological thriller co-written by Guillermo Padilla and Paul Ash, born from a shared fascination with isolation, ego, and the dangerous extremes of modern digital culture. At its core, the film explores how the pursuit of fame can warp identity and reality, especially when filtered through the lens of online personas.
Stranded is a character-focused survival story about a man who isn’t just stuck on a deserted island, he’s trapped in his own mind. It explores anxiety, self-destruction, and the need for control, all set against the backdrop of isolation and social media obsession. It’s personal, intense, and meant to feel as raw and uncomfortable as the character’s descent.
