Description

So here's where I'd really like to hear from people's ideas on where to take the series and how best to proceed. Whether it could be done as a TV pilot, or whether it might be best suited as a smaller Web series... or possibly even a full length movie.

Also, I'd like to know if people are interested in being apart of the production, whether it be as an actor/director/cameraman/etc.

Cheers.

Don't resolve too fast if it turns into a series (but don't drag it out)

The script you've uploaded is great in terms of dialogue and characterisation, but even better is the intriguing premise: which life is her real one? The murder? The foster family? Both?

If you do do a series of scripts don't resolve this too quickly because it's the main thing drawing the viewer in.

(However I wouldn't let this particular mystery drag on beyond one series, if it was any longer it would make me wonder if the series would EVER reveal its mystery.)

"The idea I had for this series is that each season would deal with a new mystery... but the overall theme would remain. "

That's exactly what I meant to say. Definitely do it like that.

Very interesting the ideas you have, I think they'd work well and they'd also be fairly easy to film on any level of budget. That gives it a lot of potential.

The idea I had for this series is that each season would deal with a new mystery... but the overall theme would remain. The "theme" being that, no matter what life you're living, both could be as F'ed up, or as good, as each other. While one might seem fantastic on the surface, it might not be underneath. And while one might seem horrific, it might actually turn good.

My plans were to resolve the whole "murder mystery" but keep the mystery of her mother (who, you might have realized, can also "Shift"). I was also going to introduce "new" worlds, and not just the world she finds herself into to begin with... but I'd want to do that slowly. I had an idea, towards the end of season one, to see her "flashing" extremely briefly into a world where she's in a mental institution... and thus, making the audience think that maybe THAT is her real world, and she's just insane. Of course, that isn't the case, and it would lead into season two... into a new world.

The whole idea of the show is that Flash isn't the only one who can "Shift." There are heaps of people who can do it, and it's something that can be controlled... albeit, at a cost. (You'll notice Laura popped some pills in the script... that would be because she has a tumour... a side effect of "abusing" her powers).

Anyway, what I had in mind, was that each season would be like a chapter of a book. Questions of the season would be answered, but new ones would be raised... and then answered... and then raised... until everything ended. This isn't "Lost," but it also isn't "Buffy," where most things were completed within a season.

I will always listen

If you are stuck with a little writers block make a cup of tea and we can talk.

My life is surrounded by weirdness, more so after escaping death last Father's day. This year I've come close several times, it gives me a different perspective on reality.

I'll help where I can.
