Hi guys,
I really want to start writing a short film about disabled teenagers finding happiness. I would like it to be multi-plot, focusing on around four characters. My aim is around 20 minutes.
Do you think 20 minutes is too long for a multi-plot?
I want to give the characters more life so they are believable, and so the audience care for them. To achieve this I believe, is going to take longer than 20 minutes, especially for 4 characters...
Any suggestions how I can make the characters more real in a short period of time? Or should I stick with one good character and focus on that?
------
Also,
I've seen numerous films about people with disabilities (blindness, hearing impairment...) before. Do you have any suggestions about how I can spice this screenplay up and turn it into something else?
If you have any suggestions about what disability to write about, please do share. Currently, I think blindness would be something interesting to write about. However, there are too many films about this...
Thanks,
Jeremy
