The missing pieces to my dormant script include (to my surprise): a receipt, a strip club, and a pivotal moment in a public bathroom. Can’t help but be reminded of this scene as a result, though it does not involve any violence, merely the same voyeuristic/impactful qualities.
Back in this.

The main character is placed in a familiar locale, yet manages to disappear into an unexplored nook therein, forgotten for a time by the rest of the characters, the rest of the story.

I AM LOVE (2009). I was struck by the film’s bombastic score and meticulous use of sound, particularly in the hospital sequence where a lot of it was stripped away - chilling results.

A vintage room monitor finds its way into my script. Sometimes you have to wait for the little things that finish an idea.

“Originally there were two pages of dialogue in which Harrison [Ford] explained why he was leaving and the Amish woman gave her feelings to him. It was very literal, and I cut it all because we didn’t need it. The producer told me that the studio would never accept it because we need to know what they are feeling. I knew that if I had done my job properly, you would know exactly how they were feeling by the time it was all cut together.” - Peter Weir, director WITNESS (1985)

Plot line diagram from last summer when I first went back into the script after 4 years and wanted to get a sense of direction. I haven’t looked at crutches like this since then; a false sense of security when ultimately embracing the unknown.

In the middle of working on a scene last night, I realized the wallpaper of my computer had been a subtle contributor to the writing process over the past several months, along with a good cup of coffee, the right music, and a good block of time to myself.

This song was (and still is) creepy, especially driving at night. Found a place for it in the script; not heard, only referenced.
