this is another study for my movie in-progress, "Indigo Lady" (a solo play by Nena St. Louis, staged in 1995 at the Lorraine Hansberry Theatre), about a serial murderer who murders the men she loves when they disappoint her. i'll be working with my talented gal pals Sapna Gandhi (Indigo) and Diana Slampyak. Tyler Cohen is creating the basic design of the settings. the movie will largely be based on Rashomon-type storytelling - i.e., monologues improvised by the 3 main actors (the third is the only man who survives, a detective who investigates the husbands' disappearances). (Indigo's trophy wife mom). Nena St. Louis play the ghost of Indigo's great grandmother, the founder of a ranching empire in Western Nebraska.

to interweave fact/memory/fantasy/illusion that are the stuff of each character's version of what happened, i will be using montages in a lot of the scenes. right now, i'm having a lot of fun creating video "sketches" while Tyler creates the real ones.
