Thanks bros but encourage me more cos i`m shooting a movie come this Thurday. Thanks again.

I apologise for sounding off. As Eno siad you have a good idea with the 'bringing the family back to life', however that is a 'different' film. No single film can be everything or cover everything - it's just the way films are.

The truth is, you, like a lot of other posters here, do have pretty good ideas. And we can't wait for people like you to do things. I'm sure a lot of the posters on this thread CAN write a good script - they will all be different stories - and the good thing about that is - the more the merrier.

I'm glad to hear you are shooting on Thursday. Is it your first film? Is it a short or feature? I also see more and more people starting out making shorts, as cheaper equipment such as DSLRs becomes accesible, and that is very good for our industry. It enables people to experiment and learn things without too much of an upfront cost.

For example (forgive me Sholay for posting this here) - @ ncap - This guy called Eric is making/has made a great looking film and we hope he talks more about it. Thread here - https://www.nairaland.com/1239160/mile-home-nigerian-trailer

Please do let us know more about your film too. We're all in this together and hope to grow. Also, well done for actually going out and shooting something on Thursday. Nice one!

Enoquin: A beautiful short script. Nothing was wasted...I love(d) it. Good actors with clear dictions will complete your story...well done!

Forgot to say - Eno, you know Sholay is an actor right? I think he should be the lead in his own film. He knows the material he wrote in and out.
From the experience of having made a short where everything happens in the actors head... getting the right lead is KEY!

ncpat: Nice script sholay2011 the script alone is more than a movie, please kindly permit me to drop the way I felt the story should end here, thanks in advance and keep up the good work.


END SCENE-1

Thomson will fell in love with Funmi in order to inherit Funmi`s Wealth but little did he know that Funmi was telling him the truth that the dolls were her children and the Dog the husband but they were cursed by a wicked Witch and only a true love from another man who is unaware of the Spell can break the Spell. Thomson at a point is no longer about the wealth but have genuine feelings for Funmi and he confesses to Funmi and letting Funmi know he loves her the way she is along with her dolls as children.

Thomson: My love, you know I love you.

Funmi: Of course I know.

Thomson: (cuts in) I mean I love you from the bottom of my heart, the way you are and your children I want to be their father.

Funmi: (In tears of joy looking straight into Thomson eyes robbing his chin with her tender fingers) I love you too but you can`t be their father.

Thomson: (Thomson immediately and gently carry up the dolls)I love your children too(Looking straight into their eyes and he called them by their names)Tade, Titi I love you both and I want to be your Father(embracing them to his chest with a warm welcome and pulls them from his chest looking straight into their eyes and he kiss the dolls and there you have it just like the Cinderella story winds and lightening blazing everywhere and behold the two dolls turns into a human form a boy and a girl )

Thomson: (shivering with fear with his mouth wide open and his eye balls ready to drop at any moment and was gently walking to the door) Lord….. I… must be dreaming please wake me up

Funmi : (With excitement and surprise all over her face) You did it, you did it, you broke the spell, wait, where are you going Tom?

Thomson walking fast to the door, on approaching the door, there was a knock on the door and a voice calling Honey! Honey!! Honey!!! And Funmi dashed to the door.

Funmi: Is him! Is him!! My husband

Funmi open the door and a handsome young man in his early 30s entered

Funmi: Honey he did it, he broke the spell, Honey this is Tom…eh…Thomson our neighbor and Thomson meet my husband Kunle.

Thomson was still in shock and hardly can he even altar a word and Mr. Kunle also was stirring at Thomson with anger because he had on so many occasion watch Thomson smooth his wife when he was a dog and Thomson ran out of the house to his.

END SCENE-2

Thomson`s place

Thomson: why me Lord! Why me, I can`t take this anymore.

Image: Fool, was that the plan, are you supposed to fell in love?

Thomson: But I love her. No I can`t take this anymore I have to end it now.

Image: End what? Don`t tell me you want to commit suicide.

Thomson: You wait and see me do it (Thomson reaching for a rope and tying it on the ceiling fan to commit suicide)



Well let me leave here for the original owner of the work sholay2011 to decide what happens next and also to add more grease to my part as I’m not a good writer and please guys forgive me if I just messed up the all things and to you sholay2011 enough respect for you.

i can see a really nice epic coming from here,( pls don’t picture and igodo scene, instead picture lord of the ring).for some reason i can’t lay hands on, no Nigerian "epic" has satisfied me, so i always look to seeing a Nigerian cultural epic with western twist and pictures
