[Drama-Committee] Film Proposal
by Sinead McDonald 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hey guys.. The following is the film proposal: Dear DCU Drama, I have just collected Amanda Flood's completed script today, a 90 page document, however at my suggestion she is agreeable to a freely adaptable condensed version which would be more suited to our needs, a task that would delay a submission to you by a week or so. Story outline Parts for 5 girls, acting age group 20-30 2 male partners . 1 female acting age 45- 65 Director position ... open This untitled drama revolves around a week in the life of a newly married couple and how the revelation of the husbands pre marital infidelity has a devastating effect on their relationship. The wife supported by a group of three loyal girlfriends, has her problems put into perspective by an unfolding drama involving the unhealthy controlling effect a boyfriend has on one of her friends. As it turns out the said boyfriend had a hand in her own domestic problems, these two relationship issues are dramatically sorted out when a formidable girlpower alliance is formed. Sample dialog to follow when abridged. Ed, further, any DCU script available or encouraged and deemed suitable by you would become eligible for inclusion in my original proposal. Below, details as requested ..........

[Drama-Committee] Film Proposal
by Ed Leamy 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

*Hope all is well with all. **The following is a query which was sent through the website. A man called Jim Hawkins wants to know if DCU Drama would be interested in shooting a video of a drama piece by local Finglas author Amanda Flood. It seems like a promising proposition as he requires our members for acting and crew work only while the organising side of things will be in his hands. Therefore I'd imagine the project will not be that time consuming in that regard. We will discuss this Monday but just to give you all a heads up I said I'd send it out. Details below. Take Care, Ed.* * As someone who is interested in cinema I would like to take on this project with the help of your group in the acting and crewing departments. * ** *I can supply all high end vision and sound recording equipment. This is an opportunity which might appeal to your members as I would share the various functions with interested students.* ** *The end use of the piece is for submission in film drama competition categories and possible broadcast opportunities. The submissions could be entered under the DCU banner if your group approved the final production.* * As I am supplying my own services and equipment there is no funding required to run this project. I would however expect a 50% share of money awards or fees received for the drama if this were the fortunate case. Story outline and script can be forwarded if you are interested Awaiting your response to my proposal Sincerely Yours Jim Hawkins Phone 8405881* -- Ed leamy #56475051 CAIS2 Class Rep. 08/09 DCU Drama Webmaster 08/09 --
