From concept, to writing, to short film

Why create a short film?

The idea began first as an idea to write a story and then allow people to watch it as it is written. Therefore giving people the chance to see how a written piece takes place, warts and all. There were  many errors and changes! So many edits to make it the story it is today.

I also asked people online to throw some objects and scenarios at me, which I would then have to include. Here they are:

Geoff Stuart: A pair of sunglasses

Grant McDonald: safety matches!

Lore Burns: A coconut, but not just any coconut. It has a small crack running through its skin, it has a burning ambition to be a ballet dancer and its name is Colin. You asked for it

Cynthia: Soon Parma

Narelle Campion: Sunset at a train station with a letter in your hand

I included everything although with one or two slight alterations. Have a listen and see if you can spot each one ;)
