The Script is Done !!!!!!

Hello all.  By this point in the project, we have fallen majorly behind schedule.  Due to so many scheduling conflicts, we haven't been able to fully sit down and work on this together, and we have all been extremely busy in our personal lives as well.  Regardless, we're not the type of people to give up that easily.  Instead, the issues have only led us to be more passionate and determined to make this work.

Here she is, so nice and pretty

Thus, I am very very excited to announce that Circus Monkey has been officially written!  This is a major step for us, both in the project and in our own work ethics.  Virginia, who is our resident screenwriter, feels extremely accomplished in having written this script.  This is one of the longest works she's ever written, and we all agree that it's also one of the best.

I'll save you all from reading it in its entirety, but I'll provide a basic summary.  The film will be divided into three acts; the first one will focus on developing the character and building up to the major point of conflict, which is, of course, the monkey-f***ing TikTok.  The second act will begin just as the video begins to gain traction, and it will follow Diego's descent into semi-madness as he becomes obsessed with this online persona and the attention he's been receiving (no matter if it's good or bad).  Finally, the third act will display how he is no longer getting the same attention, and how he feels the need to lash out and do something even more severe to be in the spotlight again.  The confrontation between Diego and his ex-girlfriend (who we've named Ericka) will also occur in the third act.

A lot more work still needs to be done.  We plan on meeting up soon to work on a shot list and possible storyboard, and then we will create a filming schedule afterward.  Keep an eye out for more blogs to come!
