The script

Paraphrasing and halving Hamlet's line, "the script's the thing." But what an ever-changing thing it is too!

After discussing the whys and hows of the story with my colleague, friend and filmmaker Nic Wassell, it has become clear that some of the elements in the script needed a little more tweaking. Albeit the story remains the same, the how we get from A to B needs a stronger why to support it. If all the avenues of why a character does what he does are explored, the how he does it will stand strong, and one can take artistic liberties too. So this week end I shall keep busy rewriting the script and exploring a few more possibilities. It's all part of the process and it's perfectly likely that the script will continue to scream for attention until the very last moment, when we are ready and on set... But that's the nature of filmmaking I guess, and I love it.
