SCREENPLAY: Day One

This is how it all begins. A simple cork board it may be, but my whole screenplay will come to life right here.

The board is divided into different sections of the story, directly relating to minutes on the screen.
In the following days, these sections will appear on the board and, eventually, 40 scenes on 40 small index cards.

But for now, this empty board is a thing of beauty to me, full of promise and waiting for a storyteller to stick her pins in it.

I'll be gentle with you, Board . . .
