Synopsis/Details
I found the inspiration to write this short from my interest in how dreams can leave you in a state of melancholy when the truth hits that it wasn't real, and that short period of happiness was all in the mind. Our minds understand this, but sometimes we long for that place, and there is a sadness to that I feel could be worth exploring on film. I'm also very interested in the movie "Vanilla Sky" and how a lot of those types of scenes came across. Three actors; one location; ten pages. Two male roommates and one female in a London flat. The first part is a slice of bliss where the girl is with one guy and all is well; the second is the reality, and the same girl is with the other guy but she's a totally different personality from earlier.

The result was a 135-page monster, deliberately long so I could get as much practice in as possible. To gauge my abilities, I entered some of the smaller fish in the competition game, and to my surprise… Go to bio
