Nena Sylvia St. Louis 6:12 PM (11 hours ago) to Sapna, Diana, Rebecca, tyler, indigo ladies, i now have a very clear picture in my mind as to the presentation, style and format of the movie. i have been exploring and experimenting, and came up with 4 videos that have the format that works for what i want to do: "performance art videos - silent montages exploring the performance of simple acts in familiar, stripped down settings - formalistic presentation, multiple sensory and emotional layers." possible settings: Violet's sewing room, Flavia's house, a gazebo (for Violet), an empty diner on the highway (Russel's mistress), a prison visitation room (Indigo), a small empty Catholic Church (Violet), a barn (Indigo), a coffin or under weathered floorboards for the Great Great Grandmother, Flavia, etc. these are coming off the top of my head, but most likely the settings would all be based on/lifted from Tyler's drawings, except for the interview with a reporter that each of you will have. i am seeing the movie as about 50 minutes long, divided into scenes that all begin with a drawing and dissolve into a scene complete with actors, props, etc., - it is likely that the actors playing the action scenes will speaking extras, one of whom would be a "doppelganger" of the main character that the scene was about (i.e., Violet's argument with her husband about the husband bathing/dressing Indigo; Russell's telling his mistress that he was getting married; the murder scene, inter alia). i would really appreciate your watching at least one of the videos in this Vimeo Album:https://vimeo.com/channels/insideoutoutsidein. this is the format of your movie. while the presentation is very formalistic, each one of your beats will involve a main frame monologue completely improvised by you based on the story facts and a memory/sensory/emotional secondary monologue. this will definitely be a chance to knock yourselves out as actors. R, i will work with whatever time you have available - we'll talk. once i have clips of each of your monologues, and a "drawing come to life" clip, i will make a trailer and begin soliciting funding.
