SCRIPT EXPOSE PART 2

Is the character of the BOY real?

As you'd probably know, the script is really pseudo-fiction. Or pseudo-reality. Whichever you prefer. The BOY that the GIRL is so hard up about is really a combination of a few people in my life. In dealing with the intense emotions towards them at that point what I did was to describe them, transcribe them to get them out of my system. BOY is really a culmination of three people in my life. And I love all of them for different reasons.

When the idea of shooting a film came, I thought I could be really mercenary about these feelings by putting them to good use. I dug out my previous writings, and during my holidays, edited them to make a storyline.

I had this post on my blog on February 15 2008:

my new idea for film.
i decided that film will be my medium of expression-

as oscar wilde says
the difference between a good poet and a bad one is this
the good poet writes the poetry he cannot live, while the bad one lives the poetry he cannot write.

i shall make characters of that are doppelgangers of myself. if i lived them, i would be nothing but a blabbering emotional wreck. yet they are part of me somehow. i've now found a reason to make films- to put my doppelgangers somewhere where they can exist (harmlessly). catharsis.

The struggles are real- the conversations are not. Some events are though. :P
