THE STORY
So it appears this is a movie about you. Describe you as the main antagonist, and your posse: I have so many ideas! I’ll try to narrow it down... I think that it would be about struggle against illness and weakness as that’s what my life is right now. I’d be the flawed heroine and my posse? I don’t really have a posse. Sure, I have friends and they would certainly be a part of my story, but the star of the show would be the struggle. It would be appealing if I could mix romance and camaraderie into it. My mom would have a role because she’s the only one who truly understands me.
Describe the location or surroundings of the story. What's the weather like? What time of day is it? Is it a city, a wonderland, under the sea? Be creative: It would be a mix of surroundings as I live in the suburbs but frequent urban areas for various reasons. It would be present time. If I could create a movie about me, I think that my mind might be part of the settings. That’s not too weird is it? I live, pretty much, in my own mind, so it makes sense to me.
Do you have a nemesis, and what is he/they like? I’m my own nemesis! My unstable mind is as good as any other villain that can be personified. Always confusing, negative, and preying on my fear of losing my mind completely.
Essentially, what is the story about? I’m sure if I could I would wiggle a romance into the story, but it’s not a romantic story. It’s about overcoming obstacles, specifically my own mind.
And what happens in the end? Do the lovers finally get each other, does someone die, or does everyone live happily ever after? I can’t tell you or it would be spoiled. What an excuse! I like to think that I would wind up happy or at least I would feel like I was better off and with a firmer grasp on reality. I think I might find a lover who isn’t put-off by my handicap, but things would always be uncertain. It would be like having that ‘there’s going to be a sequel’ feeling only with no real sequel. Things would be left hanging and it would be up to the audience to imagine what would happen next.

FINE TUNING
What kind of main theme would the movie have? Feel free to link to a song on youtube or any other website, but try to avoid songs from the musicals in the stamping list.
I’ve got some wonderful songs! It’s hard to pick just one, so I’ll list a few. A small few... It’s very difficult for me to narrow this down.
credits from An American Crime - This, to me, would be ideal for a very sad or haunting time.
snippet from the Stigmata score - This is probably, next to the score from Der Krieger und Die Kaiserin, the prettiest movie score out there. It’s composed by Billy Corgan. Most of this snippet is pleasant and pretty, so I would use it in a scene with a lighter mood. Maybe a love scene!
theme from To Kill a Dead Man This is dark stuff, but I love it so much. I could imagine creating the story around the music instead of creating the music around the story.
Remembering Jenny from the Buffy score It’s sad, but sweet at the same time. I really like this.
