For about two and a half years, I proposed to my friend about an idea I had for a possible film that deals with various social issues. When we both agreed and began talking about a general storyline, the project went dormant until this past January.
A small group of friends at RIC wanted to help bring the project back to life, and so we did. We created a longer and more specific storyline, listing all the scenes that we want to be present. We then started scripting and after the first act and a half of scenes, we put the project on hold once again for finals week.
We just opened up the project again for the summer with plans to finish the script and casting for filming throughout the fall semester. The film follows a college-aged male who aids his mother through her drug abuse struggles. He's an artist, who loves making music and writing, finding that it's the way he's able to keep himself from breaking down when seeing his mom struggling.
Following this, he meets a woman, who at first views the world as cautiously as she possibly can, but soon learn that they connect with each other on a level they both haven't felt before. The few challenges include her boyfriend, who has proved more than once about his protectiveness and abuse.
Right now, we only have a lead cast, but we're looking for a woman lead, someone to play the mother, boyfriend, and two side characters that support the main through his endeavors. My friends and I also love inter arts, so we really want to work with people who love any form of art. This project means a lot to the team and we're aiming to impact an audience.
