So... ignore everything I've ever written up until now.
I have a new idea!
BASICALLY. There's this girl. And she has wrist/arm problems. It starts out with her going to the doctor, and the doctor saying there's nothing he can do for her. So then she's out walking around, looking dazed and confused and scared and in pain.
And the whole movie progresses with her trying everything she can to get rid of the pain... like drugs. There are some shots of her trying to fall asleep, being unable to, and taking painkillers. And then in school, trying to take notes, being in pain, and then running off to find relief.
It's hard to explain and kind of abstract... but I want there to be scenes were she has sudden attacks of pain, and it breaks into crazy effects and this audio track with people talking about their pain and describing it. It all sort of builds up... into a crazy pain attack.
I'm not sure if there are like clear lines and stuff or just all abstract-ish.
If you can comment on it, rip it apart, or give any sort of suggestions at all, you would be my hero.

interesting idea. quite different from your previous one.
I guess my first thought was- what do you want the audience to get from the film? You mentioned you want it to be abstract- so I pictured a very vague story. Is the film meant to be visually interesting and artsy and as you said, abstract? or in addition to being abstract, do you want the audience to feel and think something about the girl and her situation?
I don't think I am expressing my thoughts clearly...
let's talk more on friday!
Hey Patricia - I think this is a great idea. Do you have a script/treatment yet? How are you going to get from your vision to your produced film? Are you going to speak to "real people" about their pain and then weave that audio into the film? I *love* that idea!
And last question.... do you have actors/locations lined up?
See you tomorrow - I'll be in the ICA house....
