Line of Events
A down-on-his-luck chef with gambling problems flees to a Latin American villa, where he assumes the identity of another man.. Filmed in the fall of 2021 over 23 days.. Jack: Could be a helluva lot worse.. "What You Wish For" had the potential to be a binge-worthy limited series. The premise of a down-on-his-luck chef impersonating a colleague for a wealthy family with dark secrets is packed with tension and ripe for exploration over multiple episodes. A TV show format would have allowed for a deeper dive into the characters' ; motivations and the bizarre world they inhabit. We could have seen the chef navigate the opulent estate and its eccentric inhabitants over time, building suspense and gradually unraveling the family’s mysteries. The film felt rushed, cramming a story with rich potential into a short runtime. A series could have fleshed out the plot, creating a more satisfying and suspenseful viewing experience.
