Behind the Mask

Movies filmed as mocumentary don't work for most attempts because of the nature of what they are but it somehow works brilliantly for 'Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon' and the movie works well as a good slasher film as well. The lead actor is a compelling watch and really sells the idea that he is going to become the next horror legend. It is definitely a good watch if you are into horror flicks and have been disillusioned by the predictability of most horror flicks. This flick is innovative and will definitely keep you entertained.

Whats happening in terms of projects at my end? Well 'Ghost Scream' is still in script development and the next draft looks like it will take some time to take shape. I am still waiting to see the first draft of 'Trollied' - which will come in sometime within the next 2 months. And in the meantime I have started work on 'Rejected' - a script I am developing with Serena, one of my acting classmates. And I am also developing a short film script with another acting classmate but that's not something that I will be directing or taking part in production - mainly because it is a short film. I might be helping out with post production on a short film but can only confirm it when I know for sure. So a quiet but busy time - if that makes any sense.

Here is the first scene from REJECTED - please don't read if you are easily offended by foul language.

I/E. HOUSE - EVENING
There is a knock at the door and it opens to reveal a girl ANNE (24) standing there.

FRANK
What do you want? I thought you didn’t want to talk to me anymore

ANNE
I can’t find my keys. I must’ve left them here

FRANK
I didn’t see them

ANNE
I am sure I left them here

Anne walks into the house.

INT. BEDROOM - EVENING
FRANK
Anne - we can get out the dvd as you wanted to and then -

ANNE
I don’t want to talk about it Frank

FRANK
Come on Anne, what are you so pissed off about? What do you want?

Frank drops the keys from his hand and pushes them under the bed.

ANNE
Love

FRANK
What?

ANNE
I said I want love

FRANK
What ‘bout me?

ANNE
What about you?

FRANK
I love you

ANNE
Shut up frank

FRANK
Don’t you love me?

ANNE
Not anymore

FRANK
Not anymore? What’s that supposed to mean? (pause) Since when?

ANNE
Since the day after we met

FRANK
Since the day after we met?

ANNE
Frank you aren’t deaf. So stop behaving like a fucking retard and stop repeating everything I say

FRANK
Did you ever?

ANNE
I don’t know. (finds the keys) Goodbye frank

FRANK
I am not a retard

ANNE
It was a figure of speech Frank

FRANK
So you think because you are doing your PhD and all, you are all smart and shit. Let me tell you something - you don’t know what love means. You don’t know me and you’ll never know -

ANNE
Of course I don’t know you -we’ve been seeing each other for four days for fuck sake. Just because you think you are good in bed and all doesn’t -

FRANK
I am?

ANNE
The point, Frank, is that I don’t think it will work out between us. I am sorry. Oh and please don’t bother calling me. I won’t pick up the call.

FRANK
Not even if I ask Kenneth to ring you?

Anne leaves the house and closes the door behind her.

FRANK
Bitch! (pause) I am good in bed. Yeah! I am good



Till later,
Amit
