The Shopping Cart Diaries: Entry 4

Obama said it in 2008; I'm saying it now. It's time for a change. 

As I love to say in every post, we are amateurs, and as the great amateurs we are, we make some creative mistakes. What? People make mistakes? Yeah, they do get over it, well don't get over it do what you want with it.
My feelings exactly.

We were running our idea past our teacher, and all was going smoothly until we started talking about characters. For those of you who are new to this blog, let me fill you in! This is Little Sombrero Studios, our film is called "The Shopping Cart Diaries", it's a coming of age story that involves a journey in a shopping cart, and we wanted one actor to play all of the characters. Unfortunately the last component of our film that I just mentioned is now on the chopping block. 

What? That sounded so cool, why aren't you sticking with the one actor concept? In the process of developing our narrative we understood that the idea of a journey in a shopping is bizarre, but still quirky and intriguing. What we learned from our refreshingly honest, super knowledgable teacher is that people can only handle a certain level of weirdness in the films they watch. As we are the weirdest of the weird, we thought it was just right. But movie production is not just for us, it's for audiences to enjoy and to be able to respond to. Oh well, the adventure continues.
