A Dawning Darkness - opening scene

[Flicker Pictures]

I've been doing some housekeeping on my website, taking down the old, adding some new...

This is the opening scene from a 30-pager I have in progress. Again, these scripts are always taking shape, changing, morphing into different genres, different lengths. Who knows what will become of it?

I just sent it off to a prod co in NY that's looking for this sort of story. We'll see!

This seems awfully familiar. Although for the life of me I can't place it. But you probably don't want to hear that.

Wait.

Clash of the Titans. Opening was similar. In the coffin was the baby Perseus and his dead mother.

But you hooked me. Now I'm wondering what's in it. Do tell.

 

[Flicker Pictures]

Yeah. I had written this before seeing

and felt there were some similarities, but still very different in the end. I'll send you the whole PDF if you'd like a read!

Another quality product Flicker. The mesmerized captain reminds me of the husband gazing into the eyes of the witch in the last script. Hypnosis. This makes me really wonder how the final shot would look, like I picture a shot kind of like this, but floating away from the camera: http://www.destination360.com/caribbean/bahamas/images/s/bahamas-boat-rental.jpg
I too am curious about what's in the box, but I can wait until you post it.

Thanks JR. I'm glad the words are creating visuals in your mind. That's what it's all about.

Yeah, the mesmerism is something I've been messing with in a few scripts, each for different reasons. There's a supernatural element in these pieces that I just can't seem to shake, so I decided it was best to run with it.

Here's a little promotional image I put together a while back...
