Original Script: Slip Sideways
This was my 8-minute short script that was turned into the graduate film for my Film Arts (Writing) class.
Young and sure that life owed her ‘a good life’, Ellie was shocked when she was fired. Armed with nothing but attitude, Ellie’s attempts to find a new job failed, again and again. Kee, her fiancé, was emotionally ill-equipped to deal with the stress. Eventually, her relationship with him collapsed, and she was left alone.
Debt and doubts piled up, until her best-friend, Margot, confronted her and forced her to make a radical decision. She couldn't have what she wanted, but could she be happy with something else?
