This was our try at 48 hours to write and film a short. Clarity problems...too big a concept for 7 minutes...but they have asked me to write it into a feature(with clarity) So happy I'll one day have a feature credit! LOL
Oysters, dreamcatchers, a Saturday market, a red balloon, a baby, a car accident, 1:47, a helicopter, and a contract ripped in half.
I'm guessing Bobby got himself into a whole lotta trouble while driving drunk, hit and killed somebody, then approached by Barbara Vincent (the devil's secretary) and made an offer he couldn't refuse. Many years later, when it's time to pay up, he tries to back out of the deal to no avail. His wife finds out about it and takes the heat for him, leaving Bobby a blubbering mess on his knees, crying and screaming at the top of his lungs. Kinda like Thomas Jane at the end of "The Mist"
OMG it was so unclear to most who watched it!!! But you got most of it. Amazing.
A lot of symbolism. I had to watch the film three times to come up with that hypothesis. I'm also "guessing" Barbara double-crosses Bobby. She wants a life for a life, but it's not Bobby's life she wants-- she want's his baby. Once he finds that out, he's totally ready to man up and take the fall. But then his wife finds out and beats him to the punch.
I can only imagine his anguish, Definitely makes for a riveting drama horror.
I'd like to read the script when your finished. Good luck with it.
Wow Caleb I'd love to have a reader ready. I am meeting the director tomorrow to go over a new, more clear story line...some of this story will be changed, but if you would read the feature, I'd be honored. I need hard medicine too because I want it to be good.
