"Broken" - A script in need of a filmmaker...

[Chris Messineo]

I wrote a script that I think thematically is perfect for LoveFest.

"Broken" - A lonely pathologist discovers tiny treasures in a cadaver and a heart not unlike her own.

You can click on the title to read the script.

It does present certain filmmaking challenges, but if you are up for it, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for fixing the link and taking a look at the script.

I just read it. Great job Chris. This, if done right would be excellent.

Thanks a lot.

It definitely has some challenges, but I would love to see a talented filmmaker make it work.

I was just thinking to myself: "I have exactly those two things laying around, and no story to go with them!"

 

[Chris Messineo]

What two things, an autopsy table and a carnival tent?

 

[Mark Harris]

I was going to say the Corpse and the Circus.

Indeed. It might be a little challenging for someone with a low budget.
I'd like to see this made, though.

By the way, I was quoting Slimothy. Forgot to refresh before posting reply.

Something some people might find interesting. I always write while music is playing and this story was written with a heavy dose of Tom Waits..

 

[Robbie Comeau]

I write when music plays to!! I wasn't sure if It should be on or not, but meh

Do you also have your main ideas while listening to music? Or do you just write while listening?

Writing with music is no problem for me, once I have the main concept.

Interesting story Unfortunately not so easy to turn into a movie on a low budget.

 

[Chris Messineo]

Do you also have your main ideas while listening to music? Or do you "just" write while listening.

Both, since I go through life with music playing.

cool!

I bet Jarmusch does that too

 

[Chris Messineo]

cool!

I bet Jarmusch does that too

I bet he does. Waits music for "Night on Earth" is perfect.

It's always nice to find someone that appreciates Tom Waits. :thumbsup:

Tom Waits is a favorite of mine, too. Chris mentioned Night on Earth, but I really like the opening shots of Down By Law: the down-and-out streets of New Orleans flowing by with "Jockey Full of Bourbon" playing on the soundtrack.
