Woman in White: update.

So, some of you might already know that a few weeks ago i wrote a short film script called 'Woman in White' with help from +Scott Murray and the lovely +Anne Burgot.

Shortly after Anne did a proof read of the screenplay she sent it to a producer friend of hers, a fella named Tumi, who on Saturday or Sunday i can't remember as the last three days have kind of merged into one, but anyway, Tumi gave back a lot of feedback, he said that he read through it in 5 minutes and liked it, a diamond in the rough to use his words.

As a this is the first script that i've written that has been read by a producer, i feel very validated right now, i still need to go through all his notes and figure out what i want to use and what i don't, i like the ambiguity of the script. But there is one thing i already know that i want to take a closer look at.

Anyway, this is just a heads up.

Women in White project update

So yesterday Anne sent back her rewrite of the script. Its 6 pages lighter, which i’m fine with as she was able to distill the film down to its essence. She did a great job.

Also Anne had sent a Producer (Tumi) a synopsis of my original script, and this morning she sent the rewrite to him, after i’d had a look and okay’d her to do so, he replied saying that he’d been thinking about the project, which can only be a good thing. A film producer thinking about a script/story/idea that you’ve written. And written it in half a day, could i really be that good? hahaha.

I was joking.

Tumi is now on a holiday but he has the pdf of my script, i’m hoping he reads it and likes what he sees. Having a Producer contact me and ask for a meeting would be the furthest i’d ever been, just hope i can sell him on the idea. As the film takes place in one place, a house, there is no big location moves, i just need a house with a fairly large living space, bedroom and bathroom, if only to get two/three actors, a camera man, myself, and the producer (Whom ever it will be) inside them.

I think that i’d need three days to shoot adding one more just in case. One day in the living area, one day in the bedroom, one day for all the other rooms, and one day just in case. And apart from three complicated shoots (Two short ones and one long, at least 30 seconds) everything else should be a problem. But i will be looking at each shoot like a photographer.

Anyway, just a quick update in the film so far.

Woman in White

I have a rough script and I'm now looking for people interested In helping me make this film. My first stop is to find a producer, someone who could find me money if we needed it or at least get every thing we need for free.

I have an idea of how we should shoot it, most of the work being done in post using colour correction. But thats only if we shoot the film with an HDSLR like the Canon 5D and film it Neutral, giving me more control of dark and light area in colour correction

The film will go up on Vimeo and maybe later onto YouTube as the first upload to the Grifter films channel. 

Of course if this film does get made it'll open doors and get my ass moving onto other projects. Depending on how long this takes to get made I'd really like to shoot two a year. It's not like I don't have the ideas, less of the abstract stuff more of the genre films.

Of course right now it's still only a dream but like I've said before "if we had have dream and try to follow them what's the Fucking point"

The Script is in a rough form right now, it needs some work. but today i’ll be printing it off on to A5 paper so i can read it through without having to use my computer.

[Edit]

The original draft is in the hands of a producer thanks to Anne. And i’ve corrected spelling and grammar. although i’m sure some slipped through my figures, also added some revisions thanks partly to Scott Murray.
