Finalised Script

The script is finished! long live the script!

I've vowed not to touch the script from here on in, this is the final version.

Thornbury Theatre

Went to the Thornbury Theatre for a sit down meeting with the the guy who runs it; Eugene. It went pretty well , he was a really nice guy who was totally supportive of student films; he's even letting me shoot for the whole day for free. Mental! So as you can imagine i'm pretty happy securing the location as it's a pretty amazing place, the only thing that bothers me is that it doesn't really match up to the prestige of the hotel i imagined in the script. But i can work around that. The location's good enough to make a few concessions. I'll change a couple of lines of dialogue and set the film in the early 90's to give the impression that the hotel is experimenting with a bit of exotica in their decor at the time. Don't worry it'll work....hopefully.

So i'm looking at locations for the scene in the film where Dave goes to the lobby of a hotel inquiring about a job as a lounge singer.

The place i have in mind is the Thornbury Theatre. It has a great charm with its dated decor. I think it this highlights Dave's plight in being cultural displaced.

The Tiki Hour

So here's the premise of the film:

Dave lives by himself. His life is relatively solitary and uneventful. The one thing that keeps him going are his aspirations of becoming a lounge singer. The only people that know that Dave wants to become a lounge singer are the 2 guys t the local community TV production studio where he records his demo film clips . and the faceless Entertainment Management of high class Hotels that he regularly gets rejection letters from.
But now he goes to a Hotel to inquire about work as a lounge singer there.

This pretty much sums up the lost in time industrial suburban feel for the fictional setting of the recording studio that the character Dave visits to record his demos of lounge songs.
