8/19 – Goodbyes Part One
So this is based on a guy I knew back when I wanted to make shows online. He wanted to direct but hated script writing so I was handling that. We were adapting an idea he had for a book but never got around to writing and I wanted to change some stuff to make it easier to film on the shoe string budget we had (It’s kind of hard to make the suburbs of Blacktown look like a dystopian sci-fi world). We’d get into arguments all the time but then later I’d talk to his wife and learn he secretly agreed with me, he just really wanted to stick with his vision.
That was the reason we never made the show. We realised he and the rest of the cast were probably not going to be happy with a toned down version of the original idea we had, so we scrapped it but couldn’t come up with anything else. Oh well, at least it gave me some interesting stories.
