"Last Summer"

This post is dedicated to BUstation, specifically, the second script I have written for the University soap "Hidden".  As you may have guessed from the title, very original, it's called "Last Summer" and is based upon the ramblings in my last BUstation related blog post.

That particular post was dedicated to brainstorming an idea around the loss of a loved one. I named my character Marissa and decided that her father had passed away over the summer between the two terms.

In the end, however, I did encounter a couple of problems when I came to typing up the script. The first thing I realised was that it would be difficult to convey such a big loss over three measly pages. I also wanted the piece to have a sense of closure.

This was when I decided to personify the character that had died, George, Marissa's father. It is not revealed how he died because quite frankly it doesn't matter. This is Marissa's story and revolves around her dealing with the loss of an immediate family member.

I think in hind-sight this is a more accesible script than "Accumlator" as the majority of people have had to deal with bereavement whereas only a portion of you will have had to deal with a gambling addiction.

I hope this script will be better received than my last for "Hidden" and look forward to receiving feedback from the script editor.

Cheers.

P.S Im struggling to find a picture for this post.

One day I hope to write a "Quirky Black Comedy".
