I have started a new project where I will make a series of short films in the next few weeks, each being roughly 5-10 minutes long using the Website Curriculum from ISM (Independent Student Media) Films. There will be a few different genres including my first piece, which is a western. I also have a good creative idea about a murder mystery that takes place in my school. Because I am taking a production class at the CTE Academy, I thought I would create a few of my favorite pieces that I wrote and make them into real short films and post them on the blog. I would need some help with the casting of the roles and production team, but besides that I see no other obstacles that will stop me in this project. Below is a short minute long sample of the first film that I have started to write:
FADE IN:
EXT DAY OLD WESTERN TOWN YUMA- EMPTY BECAUSE GUNFIGHT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.jace ringer and joe silas standing at the top of the street looking west. jace is the yuma marshall,26, 5, slim, tanned like leather, looks indifferent, joe silas is the deputy sheriff, has a handlebar mustach,long hair with a ten gallon hat and is short and chubby.He is a pleasant looking man who wears overals.

Jace ringler
Wasn't Tommy's gang supposed to be here by now.
Joe silas
Yeah- I reckin' so, Maybe they help up that train in Carson City like we thought they would.
(Suddenly Lucy walks out of the Prancing Pony Saloon and falls to the ground and starts crying)
Lucy
I need your help!
Joe silas
Lucy, what's the matter?
Lucy
Tommy's gang is in the saloon and she slit me sister's throat!
Joe
Wait a minute-they are supposed to be 20 miles away robbing the train from Tempe!
Marshal Jace
Guess we misjudged them. Joe, you go around back, I'll cover the front Lucy, go to the post office and have Mr. Johnson send a telegraph to Sheriff Woody in Toyville.
Lucy
Jace be careful, I love you.
I thought I commented on this already, but maybe not...? Anyway, I said that I'm glad that you're combining CTE with 20% time! Excited to see what comes of it.
