Hello all
I am just writing my first screenplay, and i mean a proper screenplay, as i've never had a detailed screenplay for any of the other short films i made before, just relatively detailed ideas spanning a page or two.
Anyway, i've got this idea of a story about a family left broken due to the death of the mother. Then one of the child (main character, aged around 17) discovers that he is adopted and runs away from home.
I know i want the ending to be that, the running away of the main character acts as a catalyst to bring the family together, and the main character coming to term with himself, and the message being love runs deeper than blood. The film ends with the hint of a new beginning.
But , how should I get from the beginning to the end? the conflict seems almost too big to resolve....
