Delilah (yeah its a zombie script)

Delilah

So I'm trying out this pdfcast.org site cause I just want to start posting all these random scripts I have. I've been looking for a good way to post these things in their entirety. So please enjoy. Some of these next scripts will make no sense at all sometimes.


So this script is called Delilah. I wrote this sometime last year and I just decided to pull it out and do some revisions of the dialogue. I took the less is more approach. Plus the situation the characters were in didn't really seem fit to have such wordy banter.

On being Jim and Casey


I don't know why writing is ridiculously hard right now. I wanna sit down, lock myself in and crank out the script to end all scripts. I wanna Kerouac this thing. Right now I'm trying to just write dialogue. I little technique I'm trying to develop is to just start writing dialogue between two people. I just randomly picked the names JIM and CASEY so that whatever I write they'll have consistent names to them. After a while, if it works, I'll be able to see a clear path towards developing these characters, their conflicts. And then the rest pretty much writes itself.

Drunk: The Movie

is an idea that me and Seth have been thinking about doing for the longest time. Basically its a documentary about the creation of a 10 minute short film with the stipulation that the entire production has to be done under the influence of alcohol.

and what's considered drunk? we're gonna use that chart thing, and probably a breathalyzer.
First we would get a documentary crew to follow us around the entire time. (they're the only ones completely sober) We would write the script drunk. Auditions will be drunk. The entire cast and crew will be drunk during filming. We'll edit the film drunk. and have a drunk film premiere.

and all this started with the notion of making a regular film and doing a drunk commentary on it.

Our livers will hate us in the end. But I think this would be a really entertaining and funny documentary to see. Plus the short film too!

Half Wolf, All Nazi


Anne Frankenstein is a script I wrote in the fall of 09. I was looking at a bunch of old scripts and found this one. I always find it funny to go back and read stuff I've written because I can clearly see the certain styles and writing trends I go through. I remember when I first tried to write, things just turned out to be cheap high school knock offs of old Aronofsky works. Or long drawn out witty dialogues set inside diners. Completely Tarantino esque. As of now, I'm really feeling the simplistic approach. Its more show than tell. I was never one for writing scripts that are overly descriptive, but I'll admit that its been as fun as it has been challenging. The only hard part is keeping it in the third person perspective. lol.
