Last week I got two positive responses from script writers at shooting people, in a short space of time, which was a hugely positive result. Especially pleasing was that one script was of very high quality, and although not perfect sructurally, was tightly plotted and well written for the most part. It regarded a particular stage in the life of a man with Alzheimers, and I was impressed by it. The second script was not so impressive, being a badly written, trashy piece of writing about a night-club girl getting with and being abused by a bouncer. It was in no way engaging and didn't make much sense, which was disappointing, given the promise of the premise as it was advertised on shooting people.
Myself and Alan sorted through our favoured scripts, including these new options, and presented them to Jools as alternatives to my own. Jools ultimately agreed that the best third party option was the Alzheimers story, however, since this covered similar territory to my own plot (in terms of the characters and the decisions and situations they are going through), we agreed that our final choice of film would be to work on my script, although a lot of work is needed on it.
In searching for scripts, we also found another short film we also liked, involving the aftermath of a night out that takes place exclusively in the bathroom of a young man's apartment. We have decided to shoot this film also before work commences properly on the production phase of my script. This will serve as good practise for our core project, but I have every intention of treating this project just as seriously as it will form a core poart of my portfolio work.
Right now, all effort regarding the client project is going into proposal document. Once this is completed, I will return to the script and begin preparing for the next phase of production.
