Backpacking across love and four different kinds of smiles



Here is my latest screenplay called Backpacking Across Love and Four Different Kinds of Smiles.
Yes, I know it's a pretty weird title, but I had such a hard time coming up with one that when this popped into my head. Well, I just took it.

The story is about a young girl desperately trying to bring her family together when she discovers that they're on the brink of tearing each other apart.

Each family member lives isolated in their own world, they are self serving and have no interaction with the others. I created 5 different worlds, one for each character and one that is in real life.

I wanted the opener to introduce the audience to the different "realms" that each character lives in. As the story progresses, each character is drawn out of their "realm" and back into the real world.

A world where the value of family means something more than just going through the motions.

  1. At first, scenes that introduced the family members reminded me of something out of Heavy Metal but after thinking about it for a while, it reminded me of Hawaii Kai...
    I'm interested in seeing how the story evolves
