This idea came out of my Mike King script. It’s been published on Celtx’s project central for some time and it had even got some positive comments. It’s always nice to get these, particularly because this script always felt to me like the closest thing I’ve done to a finished work.
Anyway a Norwegian directing student training in in Poland, Sindre saw the script and liked it. He asked, if I had any script for a short with Mike King. I didn’t, although I do have lots of ideas for him and his world, so I did try putting one together but all of the stories I had for Mike King couldn’t really be condensed down to a 15 to 20 minute script. So I when for a different character with a similar feel. Hence Alex Hunt was born.
The story is a very much a joint effort with me writing the first and second scenes with major tweaking coming from Sindre and he wrote the final scene with tweaking coming from me. It was good for me to work on collaborative project like this, and it was great to input on the script almost as I was writing it.
The script should now have completed production and hopefully the finished film will make it out on the internet someday. The film school keeps copy-write for the films made by it’s students for its self, so I would never be officially released, but there is always YouTube...
Any the version presented here, may well be a little different to the final film, since I’d made a few tweaks just before it when in to production and of course things could well be changed in production.
Here are some pictures from the production of Rain.
Since writing the script I’ve had a lot more ideas for Alex Hunt and the world he lives in, so this could be just the beginning...
Anyway heres the script for on line reading, or you can download it here
