Hi my name is Kit I’m from the 3rd year screenwriters’ class
at the VCA. We’re graduating this year and we’re putting
on a showcase at the start of the year to show everyone about the work we’ve done for the past two years.
Describe your screenplay in three words.
Small town, grief, escape.
Shark, disaster, comedy.
Shit, there is one.
Hijinks, emotion and spaceship.
Superhero, adventure and father son bonding
Weird, wacky, Australian, it’s is super Australian.
Animation, amazon, journey.
Fun, hopefully and overly ambitious.
Ambition, ego and performance.
Love, endeavour and adventure.
Sad, snowman, happy.
Tell us about your main character
and who you would like to play them.
Well my main character is a balloon so
I'm not sure who could play a balloon very well, someone with a round head.
My main character is a middle aged director from the eastern suburbs putting on an amateur show
Her name is Meredith and I see her played by Kathy Bates or John Goodman.
Nicole Da Silva from Wentworth.
My main character is a young 10 year old boy called Puck
who loves running and comic books, and misinterprets his father’s alcoholism
as heroics, and a 10 year old DiCaprio would be a pretty good choice.
I have two protagonists, and I am playing one of them but if in the real world I could
have anyone I wanted I’d probably get Emma Stone, maybe, just really like her.
It’s two main characters, kids, I’d like them both to be played by Kanye West.
My main character is a Buddhist Monk, a Thai Buddhist monk. There is a also a snowman but not really...
I would like for the Thai Buddhist Monk to
be played by a Thai Buddhist Monk.
My main character is a bit of a prick,
she doesn’t treat people very well in hindsight. I didn’t mean to write her like that.
Who I’d like her to be played by? I don’t know like, someone as pretty as Emma Watson,
but with the talent of Emma Thompson.
Her name’s Matilda, I asked my friend Quinn
to play her, read her, and she said no.
There is a sloth in it, I’d like it to be
played by Ian McKellen.
Sell your screenplay in six seconds. Summarise it...
Okay I’ll act it out.
Ayyyyyyyy, look at that Snowman. That’s is not it.
In a six second vine, it would probably just be like the Drake from Hotline Bling dance. We’ll just insert it, yeah.
I really need to get out of this town. No you can’t. Oh my god, you’re a cunt. Poof. The end.
Just like.
Honey bear and a Jesus lizard, one is diurnal and one is nocturnal, are travelling together
to a mythical paradise called the Endless River.
I wanna direct the show. No I wanna direct the show. But you’re shit, no you’re shit.
I fucking hate you. Fuck you.
Two kids who land on a new planet, but can’t figure out how to open the spaceship door.
Balloon falls in love with the moon and tries to get to it.
Oh no! Sharks are here! Oh No! It’s all good.
I don’t know. I can’t. I can’t do that.
Oh no, go away. Ahh. Oh, it’s fine.
What is the one sentence take home message?
You can’t do anything more than your best.
Never join community theatre ever.
Don’t let love pass you by.
Beware of the government, I don’t know.
Doesn’t matter if you fail, what matters is that you tried I guess.
Familial love is just as important as love, sexual love.
You can’t run away from the things that frighten you, you have to confront them.
Even if you’re fed up with life, there is always something else out there that can renew your apperception for it.
Preservation of our land is the most important.
You have to be the hero of your own story.
Thank you for watching, the showcase is this
weekend so please come along, we’ve just been sitting in dark rooms alone typing for
the last two years, and now we are ready to shine. So, all the details are bellow. Thank you!
