Elephant Daydreams
Unfortunately, filming fell through with Fille, as our Jen
was only free after the day the girl playing Olive moved countries. And
although understandable, it’s still a real shame, as I was looking forward to
capturing Olive’s story on camera. However, I have been writing another script
(this one is slightly more morbid that Fille), so I plan on actioning that
over the next fortnight instead. Conveniently, I have to drive up to Whangarei
soon, which is perfect because that stretch of road is where I had planned on
filming.
I haven’t fully decided on a title yet, but for the time
being, the working title is Not A Funeral although I strongly dislike this,
and would much prefer something non-sensical, completely irrelevant, and
altogether misleading as to the content of the film (like Elephant Daydreams. Just because that’s my kind
of jam. (My chickens are called Romulus Sunbeam and William Percival Wolfric
Brian Severus Shakespeare.)

For this film, as I was writing, I wanted something impactful, and quite different from the satirical nature of my other scripts. As I am a very sarcastic person in day-to-day life, the script still contains some black humour. But for the most part, it is a relevant and dark topic, but explored from a different angle. Rather than the POV of the sick protagonist, Elephant Daydreams explores the impact mental disorders has on the surrounding friends and family.
