The script for the short film "Out of Frame" is complete. Now if I can keep the director and producer from screwing it up with their helpful scene deletions and character enhancing dialogue. Just kidding, a script is a fluid thing sometimes and like soup everyone thinks they can make your original recipe better.
Out of Frame is actually the third incarnation of a story I came up with about a year ago. The original version was called Still Life and is a much longer piece which I plan to expand into a full length feature. Later I cut the story down to the bare bones with the same main characters but with less scenes and locations and that was called Death Scenes. Now we have Out of Frame which is basically Death Scenes with a new title and a few more scenes and character enhancing dialogue added in.
The story is about a young photographer named Damien Drake who has made a name for himself by creating morbid , but beautiful photographs of violence and murder. Damien with the urging of his girlfriend / manager Lorna, has changed his subject matter , but at the cost of sales and critical success.
The story begins with the opening of his new photography show , which is poorly received. Just as Lorna is ready to close up for the night, John Godewyn and Allette arrive to purchase some of Damien older pieces and to commission a photo shoot of Allette.
Are John and Allette much more than they seem ? Is their a hidden connection between Damien's scenes of death and real murders from around the country?
