Getting dark

I have written what is/will be a screenplay.

It is a dark piece, but it’s not the large piece of black humour that I am aiming for.

This is just a taster.

It is ‘is/will be’ because I have not yet put it in to ‘proper’ screenplay format.

But it is written.

Called ‘Go Back To Sleep’ (allegorical), it is a simple ‘to camera’ piece, narrated by a ‘him’ and a ‘her’.

On run-through, the screenplay times-in at 2m 30s.

Yet for 2-1/2 minutes, it is a powerful piece with an unexpected twist in the tale tail.

So having written it, I need to do something with it.  There are enough unfinished projects around here.

And my 2012 resolution is to finish projects.

Here’s the plan.

I shall, this weekend, put the piece in to the correct format.

And next week I will begin looking for a couple of people to play the parts.

I shall ask around, and if that doesn’t work, I shall begin calling local Am. Dram. groups.

I hope the piece plays out on film as well as it plays out in my head, and when I read it back.
