I would normally never get so personal on this blog BUT!
I am really proud of the pitches I came up with for a screenwriting class I'm taking and I wanted to share them here as a part of my goal in sharing my writing and my art more frequently. So here they are!
1. Working Title: PAIGE TURNER
The shy daughter of a bookstore owner spends all day dreaming of the fantasy lands and adventures in the books she reads. She finds a new book in a box donated to the store, a journal that appears to be handwritten. On a whim, she recites the magic spell that allows the main character to return to their magical home, only to discover that it actually worked. Now, she must go on an adventure of her own to unlock the truth about the journal and about the power she carries inside of herself.
2. Working Title: SMALLTOWN BOY
A lonely college student signs up to be a counselor at a summer camp offering a "Totally 80's Experience" in an attempt to make friends, only to discover that someone is using the camp as their personal slasher playground and picking off counselors before the camp officially opens. With no cellphone signal and only a two-seater golf cart for transportation, he and the remaining counselors bond during the attempt to escape... but will the newfound friendships be strong enough to make it out alive together?
3. Working Title: BRIGHT IDEA
A vibrant, fiercely independent young artist is living the life of her dreams when a sudden loss snowballs into a series of unfortunate events that leave her feeling directionless and devoid of color. She isolates herself and abandons her career, only to discover a "pet spark" left behind in her sister's belongings from when they were kids. The "Spark" suddenly comes to life, but is very weak and must be nurtured back to its full brightness. As the young woman learns to care for her Spark, she also learns to embrace the support of her community and begins to allow color back into her life.
