Screen Plays & Literature

Etymology

A sign that says write without fear edit without mercy

I've written dozens of short and long Screen Plays (WAGw), with most of them ending up as "Ghost Scripts." But a few I kept for myself, like "One Day Post" (WAGw 2010), which was written in 3 days after watching the indie movie Paranormal Activity. I felt compelled to write a real diabolical thriller, which not only would be cheaper to film, but also boasted a superior story-line, by paying tribute to the psychological films of Alfred Hitchcock.

With that said, every action, situation, dialogues, verbatim quote, intentional enunciation's, and internal monologues from "One Day Post", were derived from my memories and POVs from the people I knew, loved, grew up with, and worked with. Lol... And sometimes, true life actually is more scarier than fiction! :o

Having said that, the majority of individuals who read the screenplay, subsequently conveyed that it evoked a sense of unease or self-awareness within them, and a minority of people found themselves unable to complete it, even after a few pages. Lol :) Job well done! :)

Additionally, I was challenged to make a screentest for some of the most "challenging cinematic scenes", to validate the camera shots, techniques, optical effects (that normally would have been done digitally), and to demonstrate the visual believably of the entire screenplay and plot. : )
