Last Saturday was another session of Film Club #2 and we had in attendance Marie Setiawan, Laurent Boitex, Quan Tran, Thuy Ng, Adrian Castro and myself. Another fully charged get together of gungho and learn on the fly filmmakers who want to eventually see their stories on the big screen. This week, Marie continued her focus on the essence of human drama. Drama film genres are perhaps one of the hardest to market internationally, but its deeper level of character development and inter-tangle of emotional conflict has its appeal.
Marie took us through some script breakdowns, and also a big run through on scene and character objectives, goals and actions. We watched the intro to Quentin Tarrintino's "Reservoir Dogs" in regards to the competency vs social hierarchy of characters. The final exercise of the night got me some dibs in directing a short scene from "The Full Monty".
Anyhow, I'll be plugged in most Saturday nights from 6-9pm with this group for the next few months. Shout out to Marie Setiawan for her great work.
