Fridea: The Settlers
I don't know what's worse, the fact that the Fridea keeps ending up being the Saturdea or that I only have one post on the blog since my last Fridea. Anyway, this week's idea is something that I've been toying with for awhile but I've never locked down what exactly the show would be. The page I'm posting here was when it was going to be a short or movie about a guy deciding whether or not he should pop the question to his girlfriend (and the girlfriend wondering if she would say yes.) Whenever I go to write it though, it ends up becoming a bigger ensemble piece, usually with a single friend or two (who may or may not have hooked up with the girlfriend before she started dating his buddy) and a couple that is either unhappily married or separated (but wanting to figure out how to work it out because of their kids.)
In the end, I might just shoot this simple first page and try to figure out other quick hitters about relationships. Might be more realistic since I don't usually end up shooting anything. Anyway, here's the first page or the first microshort for "The Settlers".
And, yeah, I might have already posted this once but I couldn't remember and didn't feel like checking (and didn't have another Fridea to go with so here it is.)
