Theme. I've done several script and book-to-screen consultations the past few weeks and find myself encouraging writers to really hone in on their theme to help guide them in the narrative story line. How about you? is theme easy for you to nail down or difficult?
It took me years to finally be able to do it. I used to start working on my stories without having a theme, and it made my writing difficult. But now, themes are an integral part of my writing process.
Hi Laura- Just go for it. Have a message in the film- faith, hope, love, encouragement- beat the bully, etc. Keep it going. Peace- Ed Skirtich

Expand commentAll my stories, regardless of genre or medium, start with a fundamental question about the human condition, the theme. Every aspect of the story - plot, characters, etc. - either reflects that question or answers it (positive or negative). Without a preachy word!
From the theme, all other choices flow: setting, MC/POV character (not always the same), story points and so on.
I find this approach gives the story a subtle cohesion that really makes it a joy to write (and hopefully to read/film)!
I've come to a place where the primary theme is before me as I write to keep me from chasing lesser themes - if there's a deadline.
Love this trailer and the concept is funny. I can see this. Can't wait to put together a trailer, shoot, can't wait to put together a sizzle reel.
Greetings from Belize! My name is Felene. I'm a librarian and screenwriter on the verge of directing my first narrative short film, Afieni (Faith). Poetry is my first language, but I hope to become fluent in film too. Looking forward to meeting you online or in person soon!
So lovely connecting with you during the International Women's Day networking event today Felene Cayetano!
Felene Cayetano Please share some of your poetry. And hopefully you can combine the language of poetry with the language of film.
