Musings of an Idiot

Slow freedom

Well autumn just passed by without a sign - just cold winds and rain and now is the onset of winter. Note to self - try and plan your next holiday in May/June. :-)

'Freedom Project' is going a little slower than I anticipated but I have taken overall stock of the situation and it is looking good mostly. There are some awesome stories that are coming out and I am hopefully that they will flow together when the edit is done. Even though it is experimental in the way we are doing it - it still has to work as a dramatic narrative for the audience to invest their time in it. Managed to score a location which I was having trouble finding and the workshops are coming along nicely, so I can't really complaint. :-)

Here is an excerpt from the scene with Matt McD and Lorraine - which we basically developed using acting workshops. The scene is still in final stages of development so can't share the full scene right now.


Adam: Wohh..Woh..Woh…Stop..stop..stop..stop…
Tricia: What? I was just joking.
Adam: Yeah.. Look..please, please tell me that this is not the sort of thing you’re gonna bring up tomorrow. You just launched into a racist, fatist, sizest rant
Tricia: I didn’t say anything racist
Adam: Yeah whatever it was…you just…you just…I can’t remember your words now
Tricia: That’s crazy
Adam: Because that’s gonna be disaster tomorrow. This guy comes to see us and we sit down and we go 'we bought the best cot because cot deaths are caused by fat people, rolling over, drinking too much…'
Tricia: It was just a joke.
Adam: You know what your jokes are like..You know..
Tricia: Funny…You love my jokes
Adam: Stop..stop..No..No..
Tricia: You laugh at my jokes..you love them
Adam: Yeah I laugh at your jokes but I’m married to you
Tricia: because you laugh at my jokes
Adam: That’s hard tack but yeah I married you because you are so funny. But there aren’t many people who find you funny. Well, we’ve only met 6 of them.

Later,
Amit
