New Script!
Welcome!
Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you the new script I've made. I believe that this new script will better enhance my opening sequence.
Nicholas Rose canceled his role in the film because of personal issues. I tried to find a replacement however nobody else was available. Therefore, I had to remove the character "JOSH" as a whole from the film. This included giving his lines and screen time to a different character. While this did push things back, I didn't let this knock me off track!
SCRIPT: #FindME
Makayla’s room.
MAKAYLA (VOICEOVER)
Makayla is scrolling through social media on her computer
“ Envy is something we all experience. But when you stray too far, you end up wanting too much and once you see the opportunity,”
She gets a message that reads: “Elaine has been missing for 3 weeks.” and “#FindME”
“ you take it. “
She clicks the hashtag and reads the missing poster.
She then messages Elaine’s mom: “I found your daughter.”
“Even if that means losing yourself in the process.”
Makayla then picks up her phone and looks at the lockscreen with her and Elaine together.
Park. (A Month Later.)
Makayla, Kylie, Mia, and Ethan are at the park sitting at a table.
There is music playing on the radio and Ethan turns it off and shares with the group how Makayla is missing on his phone.
ETHAN
Have you all heard what’s happened to Makayla?
KYLIE
Who is that again?
MIA
The girl who always used to follow behind Elaine.
ETHAN
Apparently she’s been missing for about a month now.
KYLIE
Who reported her missing?
ETHAN
Elaine Did
Everyone turns to Makayla.
MAKAYLA
What? (says in disbelief)
Makayla grabs Ethan’s phone to read the missing poster and she reads who made the report.
Makayla throws the phone down before getting up from the table.
MAKAYLA
I have to go.
Outside Apartment Complex.
Makayla is headed towards her apartment building doors but stops when she sees another missing poster of herself.
She grabs the poster and crumbles it. Soon after her phone goes off and she gets sent photos from her friends of them hanging together.
She smiles while getting her keys and opening the door.
Apartment Lobby.
Makayla exits the stairs and receives a message from an unknown number.
