A script, movie, or story, always comes from an idea! What ideas characterize your script(s)?
For me, it’s always something in the real world that inspires me, or something I dream of trying, etc. my first screenplay is actually based on how I wanted to meet my future husband, I wrote it when I was 21, and the funny thing is that I have actually met him in a similar way, many of the things in my story is actually how I met him. And I wrote this script before I met him.
Another script of mine called “Blind” is about how we should see the world. The funny thing here is that God created Adam and Eve blind. Sometimes we need to see how the world could be, and not how it is.
My wish in the future is to create movies based on a real story. There are a million stories from people around the world that should be shared with the world, and what better way than to create a movie about it?
So back to my question.
What ideas characterized your work?

For me, it's a concept, a notion that has existed since the beginning of time. It can also be something from my personal life. A historical event. Anything really, as long as it attracts me.

Entering into a situation, unprepared for the environment, possibly entering into a situation for which you can't be prepared.

Sille Larsen The screenplay that I'm trying to sell now, The Old Master, is a period piece set at the dawn of the 20th century, where parallels are drawn between the civil rights movement of the early 1900s and the racial struggles that continue today in America.

Reality in a fictional style, for example, in my scenario, I focused on the role of celebrity journalism, soft integrity, cunning, and love of money. What can this journalist do for money...

I am a tragedy type of guy. I put people on the path to doom. I then show them ways of escaping it. But their flaws stop them. They ride their flaws all the way to their demise.
I am a dark drama person.

From real life characters I met and got to talk to and who shared their stories with me and many are mind blowing. Like my Uncle who was in Pattons´s army and he said he crawled from South Africa to Berlin and he and only 11 other men were the original men who survived out of 248. He inspires me for sure.

Mark: much respect to your Uncle. A true giant among men if he was with Patton's 3rd Army. One correction...and if I'm wrong, I can only apologize....but Patton's army landed in North Africa (Libya) to take on Rommel's Afrika Corp which Patton's forces defeated in the Battle of the Kasserine Pass. From there, they took part in the invasion of Sicily. So, I don't believe they ever were in South Africa. Doing this from memory so I could be mistaken. Even so, being wrong can never dull the memory of what Old Blood & Guts and men like you Uncle accomplished. I salute him.

I get my ideas from pictures, videos, the news, while watching movies and shows, etc., Sille Larsen. And sometimes the ideas come out of the blue.

To add to that, I think that anything can inspire you, as long as it makes sense to YOU and the VIEWER (or READER, depending).

Some of it definitely comes from the different environments I've been a part of and the role I've had in it. I've had ideas come from the relationship between me and my siblings. My job(s) in the investment world. My parents. My ex. My kids. My faith.
