Anecdote
During an episode of “Men in Trees”, the main
character was approached to sell the rights of her life to
make a movie. This made me think, would our life stories be
interesting enough to make a movie?
Tips: (Questions to ask yourself)
Ask yourself:
- What will the title of your movie be right now?
- What would you rather want the title to be?
- What are the recurring themes, the lessons that you as
main character still have to learn, ( those experiences
that keep on coming back in different disguises? )
- Will the genre be tragedy, comedy, documentary, adventure,
fantasy or thriller!
- There are always at least 3 endings to any story, how
will your story end this year, at the end of your life?
- What will the amazing experiences be that the main character
will share with his/her grandchildren. (Defined as challenges,
or just sometime plain fun, both testing boundaries)
- What is the main plot?
- Are you sure that you are not living the plot of some
one else’s life?
