It was pretty much conceived as a movie once it finished being a one-act play. I was watching a play with a little kid in it, and I thought, what if she had a little boy and the brother made friends with the little boy and kept letting him down, and that sort of gave me the idea for the whole arc of the story. And then I immediately thought it should be a movie. There's something about where they live and their relationship to where they live, and living in a small town in a beautiful area was something I was interested in. And I thought it would be much more natural for the movies than for a play.
People write short, boring, contentless scenes in movies.
I believe the scene has to have some value of its own and also move the story forward. Otherwise it's just exposition, and exposition is really boring. I want to, but I haven't figure out how to make the jump from a play to a movie. It's three people in a room over 48 hours, and I just don't know how to do it. I'm trying to figure it out, because I'd really like to do it.
