narrative idea

· 🌡️ 54°F

I'm finally recovering from that silly night last night. I just had an idea for a narrative.
A few weeks ago my sister-in-law, Dee, called to tell me that my 5 year old niece, Kiah, ran away from home and moved in with Dee.
Kiah lives with my parents and my sister. Apparently one day, she came across a pair of scissors and cut up one of her dresses. When Granny found out she really had it out with Kiah. It hurt Kiah's feeling so much that she decided to move out. She went and packed her suitcase and walked over to my brother's house.

I just think it's really funny that Kiah did not really "run away" but decided to move out. How adult of her. She stayed one night at Dee's and then got homesick.

It seems like a good video. To have a little kid go up to an adult with her suitcase in hand and say "I've decided I'm not happy here. I'm going to move out"

I like the reversal of roles. Suddenly Kiah is the grown up. I think this could be a good starting point for something.

    I'm really excited for this video. I remember feeling that way so often as a larva. I was really never happy no matter how good things were sometimes, and would talk about leaving, but never had the balls to do it.

    Most of your other stuff had a really great mood (espeically the crossroads piece), but there was no story or plot to be told to the viewer really.

    I'm a plot/story junkie, so I was kind looking for anything that resembled a plot during the screening, but it wasn't that kind of show. Sometimes indy films (really really indy) will have a great plot and not have any mood or charcter, but you have that part nailed. I can't wait to see it, it's bound to be my favorite Robin movie ever.
