Superb Script
BY LINDSEY BLACK, CHANDLER, ARIZONA, USA - I have been going through the BAD TIMING script. I am so excited to be a part of this project. I can visualize every captive moment. In this case, I was confused and had a hard time keeping up with the characters names. This may be because the names are so different compared to typical American names. So to fix this problem, I grabbed a stack of notebook paper and started to go though the script again and made notes of all the characters and how they connected to each other. That way, when I was studying the script, I had an easy reference. But I gotta say, I loved it. It was very well written and I am extremely excited to see it all played out on screen. It is just so exciting to have a finished script in my hands. I have attempted to write a screenplay myself and never get past the first 8 pages. I am so impressed with Jabbes. From my attempts, it just is not an easy task to get the story all set. Especially when all the main characters have to be introduced in the first 10 pages.
I have been going through and consolidating junk. I found a project from elementary school where I drew a plane with a lion and I wrote a story about Africa and how I wanted to go there. I am crazy about wild cats. My last house was completely wild cat skin décor, my desktop background is leopard and tiger on my laptop. Not to mention, the Disney LION KING movies will always be my favorite. I just found this opportunity connected to my childhood dreams so amazing. It is almost like I knew I would be connected to Africa someday.
When I was asked in classes where I would like to go, anywhere in this world, I would always say Africa to go on a safari. Someone actually asked me if I would go on a shooting safari. No way…just with a camera. There was only one other place in the world I wanted to go and that was Egypt. Low and behold, looking at a map, it is also in Africa (my geography skills were never great). Whether I will be able to go to Africa on the shoot or if I will be here working on the edit, it is all connected to my dreams growing up.
