Since I still have no fresh teaser trailer to post (ahem, Highfall Films) I'm going to regale you with tales of my favorite screenwriter. She's young, she's new to the industry, she's another Wilmingtonian, she's loaded with talent, and she has the most beautiful name I've ever heard. She is Annabel Lee.
Isn't that beautiful? It's poetic, it's tragic, it's literary. With a name like Annabel Lee, how could she not be a good writer?
The amazing thing about Annabel Lee is that she sees people. And, yes I mean in that cheesy Titanic sense (you know you loved that movie as much as I did so lay off, people!). She has this uncanny ability to understand what motivates people. She immediately recognizes your insecurities - the ones that drive you, the ones that you try so hard to cover - and she handles those foibles with nothing but the gentlest hands and compassionate touch. She told me about two years ago that she was writing a screenplay about two old men on a journey. I was skeptical. What does a 30-year-old mother know about the psychology of old men? Apparently a lot. What she brought to life was a screenplay called "After Alice" that is hands-down my favorite screenplay.
So do yourself a favor and check out her blog sometime: http://chasing-rainbows-annabel.blogspot.com/
Ask her about "After Alice". You'll fall in love with her.
