Up above is the working title for my screenplay in progress, I'm happy to announce. This is a story that's long been in development. The initial ideaspark (oh right, I am going to begin coining german-like compound words) was in the summer of 2016.
The initial idea came about after I'd asked out two girls from work in the same day. At the same time I was considering entering some artwork into a show in Ocean City, MD. When I was thinking about what I'd like to paint, I pictured a dirigible flying over a stormy inlet in OC. From there I came up with a basic story about an artist-turned-pilot who was caught in a love triangle leading up to his big launch. I only dated one, by the way.
Anyway, life got busy and other story ideas came along. The story got shelved along the way. I also went to film school. While there I learned I could, in fact, outline and write a well developed story in screenplay form. And so, wanting to get a movie in the works, post-filmschool, this one re-emerged.
I will be posting as I go to update my progress. You can follow along in the creative process and see the story take shape in front of your own eyes. I will post excerpts, outlines (maybe, don't want to give spoilers), and whatever else I think is interesting along the way.
Anything found interesting feel free to share. I don't think it needs to be said that you can freely share posts from a public blog. I'm just saying because it's appreciated.
So, for an update so far, I have made a preliminary outline, one that still has plenty of development to go. The story itself is fairly set. I've got the main characters, major plot points, and settings set. I've got a list of influences and inspirations down. The details and other elements I will go over in my next post.
I am certainly excited to dive into this process. I hope you will find it interesting and as exciting as I do. If not, just wait until the movie comes out, or until the finished project is written.
