Friday Writings - Doors Part 1

Hello everyone!

I apologize for not keeping up with this series over the last two weeks. For one of them I was traveling, for the other I was running all over putting out small fires that kept cropping up. But today I’m back, seated at my nearest coffee shop and plugging away at a psychological horror script that is as fun to write as it is difficult.

However, for now I’m sharing one of my past works. “Doors.” It’s actually a favorite of mine. For a few years now I’ve been fascinated by what doors can represent in a screenplay. They’re often viewed as portals or passageways, sometimes viewed as barriers, but in this case I’m exploring the use of doors as a reflection of the individual behind them, their openness or closed-ness. Their willingness to connect, or to reject.

So in this section let’s meet our main characters, and over the next weeks I’ll take you on a journey that explores the connections that are waiting for us on the other side of every door.

As you can probably gather, Emma and Trevor have a long way to go, but that’s for another week. Drop a comment and let me know if you like our characters and what you think is about to play out between them. Next Friday I’ll post the next beat!
