HLADEKA/Chosen Fallen - Production Meet

While in San Antonio I will be working with individuals involved in the HLADEKA and Chosen Fallen projects. This meet will address project update & progress, documentation (proof of concept), and Summer 2008 production schedule.

Scenario Building - Persona

An east coast based director producing an independent film working with multiple actors in various geographical locations. The project is operating on a shoestring budget and to hire well-trained paid actors is not an option. Not wanting to compromise the integrity of the films dramatic impact and extract exceptional performances from the actors it was necessary to develop a system used by the creative team actors

The process starts with character bios predetermining age, gender, local, and main characteristics corresponding to their roles in the narrative.

Secondly, the actors whom accept their character bio will have creative control of character development within the initial concept of the original character bio. The director is interested in the actor’s dynamic transformation into character and how it will affect them on screen to capture a hyper-real performance.

Thirdly, the writer will compile journaled real life and virtual interactions of the personified characters and introduce this content into the story’s narrative. The dynamic methodology constitutes a new form of character development from a writer’s perspective.

Scenario Building - Persona
