hey. so i combined the montage studies that i've been making for the last month with interspersed talking head of a reading of the original stage version script. there will be talking head clips in the movie (monologues of the main characters - i.e., Sapna/Indigo, Diana/Violet/Indigo's mother, Russell - that are improvised by the actors based on the script). but also scenes of characters in action; much of this will be green-screened. there will be a lot of montage, effects (visual & sound), etc., that happens on the editing table. but there will also be full-frame clips, probably at the beginning of each plot point. just so you know, i play the ghost of the great great grandmother, who never speaks, just haunts the montage at 50% opacity at plot points in the central character's throughline, wearing a black veil and looking somber.
FYI, i am upping the mother's role in the movie because the conflict between mother & daughter is one of the story's strengths. i am going to wait and see what Sapna and Diana come up with in their monologues before i cast Indigo's father.
nidal, i'm including you on this even though you haven't committed yea or nay. i am reworking the script that i sent you because i think the relationship between the detective and Sapna's character (Indigo) happens too late in the story. i probably will add a different unattainable male character who appears early (in Sapna/Indigo's) childhood; and right now i'm thinking that character is probably a priest when he reappears in the story - probably as the intercedent between the detective and Indigo's husband's mistress. meaning, it is the priest who convinces the detective to investigate Indigo's husband's disappearance.
steve, can you please watch this and think about playing Russell, the husband?
nima, can you please watch this and consider playing the priest?
rebecca, i will ask you about this when you drop by - but in case i forget, as is my MO, will you watch this and consider playing the mistress?
