So I have started to formulate a plan to begin shooting the feature in November. Only a year late! From shooting Reconcilation I began to see the weaknesses and the opportunities in the current script: the more I explain, the less compelling the story is. If I remove the explanation, the psychology, I make the story more forward more directly, suggest a shooting style, and make it more practical to shoot on a small budget (fewer locations, fewer actors), etc.
I am thinking that I begin with the second story, that of Claire as she tries to take on her sister's life, and truly change. And fails. I focus more on that empty place she is trying to fill, the transcendental, and less her telling what she is doing. The shooting style is driven by her story, built shot by shot, each leading to the next.
