February 18th- Another back up filming day February 19th- A back up editing day Location I have several parks in mind for this film. One of them in particular caught my eye. I don't want to pick one with a playground, as they are often crowded with small children, who would be distracting in the background or potentially could touch or damage props. Participants I'm working in a group on my own, directing, producing, and editing, as well as updating these blogs. Believe it or not I do plan on playing the two main characters as well.  However, A, B, and C will be played by friends. I've got school ...

EXT.PARK PICNIC TABLE - DAY TERRA sits at the picnic table, staring off. She's just got her basket of food on the table, but she pays it no mind, too focused. She takes a glance to her side.

She is left out of the activities of her classmates, who seem to share intimate sexual experiences they're a bit too young for. There are undertones of her being one of the only POC students there. She feels left out, until she shares an intimate experience with a male classmate she likes. That's pretty much it, this one was my least favorite. I thought the story was realistic but in terms of message and maybe morals I don't like it, it's an uncomfortable narrative, which may have been the intention? Frankly i'm not sure, regardless the story I thought was bad. The script was okay, grounded in reality to an extent. I say to an extent because the kids are a bit too openly mocking of the protag.
