While in Vienna this week I have been working on MBLL (My Black Lesbian Life for those not in the know). The idea has gone through various stages. Originally I had envisioned it as a stage-play. Then a short. But now I am wondering about a feature.
In my experience that is always a bad idea, because you do it because you are in love with the characters, but perhaps the story isn't there.
I think it might be better to do a short that is packed to the brim than a feature that causes sleep.
Also, I have written the outline for the short and I like it. It is funny and odd and another one that a certain crazy american actor will be interested in (the same who is taking up With Sand Alone).
I love writing outlines because you don't have to get into the nitty gritty, but you get all the fun of seeing the story progress. A great outline will always (in my experienc) produce a great script.
I write this blog because I am afraid to just get off my ass and write the script!
