Film version of the 1990's solo play, 'Indigo Lady': a Quicktime storyboard



This first draft of the 'Indigo Lady' QuickTime storyboard is intended to help me, the designer Tyler Cohen and the actors go forward. 'Indigo Lady' will be a video performance art feature based on my 1990's one-woman play about a young woman who, "disappointed in love and marriage, murders her husband and turns him into ham." 'Indigo Lady' layers reality, memory, fantasy, desire and delusion. The surrealistic montages in the movie will show that layering. The talking head will be replaced as the characters created by the actors retell the story of 'Indigo Lady,' her family, life and loves in their own words, while the ghost of a famous female ancestor haunts them. Whether the ghost of Flavia Milazzo is real or only exists in Indigo Milazzo's head is part of the mystery. The play is quite visceral and so far, the QuickTime storyboard is even more so. The imagery is disturbing for some viewers, and is not intended for children.
