Workshop w/ Script-to-Screen from 15-16 Oct 2011

I signed up at this workshop to come up with an idea of my little project. I have decided to one of my cats, I have had it on my mind for a long time now and it has finally kicked in.. where I'd use my cats as the main characters, where on the side is my family and myself. So I think that it is going well, so far.

Where did the idea come from?

Directed by Burda Ellis [me] 
Starring: [main characters]: My cats, Elmo, Toasty and Baby-Boy
-- Also Starring, Me, Rory & Francene Ellis and Robert Ellis
Film Location: Ellis Residence in Otahuhu

First off. I have always wanted to be some kind of screenwriter or someone that can collaborate with other writers such as myself, my age or older, nor older than that, if it were possible. I started out watching my cats act like lunatics around the house, it was quite funny and somewhat entertaining. I started filming a few bits of their madness and then I got what I wanted from out of it. Anyways so far, I have kind of got an idea of what I want to do with my little project. I would say this is my third project in DVA @ MSVA, Otara. But This is officially my first short film. I guess you can say, it's narrative, adventurous, family short film, based on animals that belong to me and whatnot. But also with a small fact that Toasty is going to have her kittens real soon. So I thought that I would film some of that.. not the in-detailed stuff but the cute-stuff.

Till next time, Burd@
