Hey, my name is Caitlyn and I am trying to experiment with directing in general, but specifically short films. However, in order to direct a short film I need to have a script, and unfortunately I am a horrible writer. I finally came up with an idea, I simply need a resolution. The plot line is:
"A teenage girl struggling with the momentous decision of her career decides to defy everyone's expectations (college & a steady job) and go her own way."
The only issue is that I don't know what triggers her decision to defy expectations. A family member's advice, a stranger's conversation, or maybe witnessing something... impactful? I would really love any insight on what would make for the most compelling story line.
Also, if you have any experience writing shorts, I would adore some advice on writing. I'd like to improve my writing skills so that I'm not continually coming up with shoddy ideas and abandoning them halfway through.
Thanks bunches!
