Karen: a short film.
Just to get the ball rolling, this is a screenplay.
Those of you who don't read screenplays often might think that it is an awkward
format. You are correct.
This is a short piece I write about 2 years ago. To be honest it is really just a single scene. I liked the characters and always imagine them as Southerners with a nuanced, quiet, way of speaking.
When it was done I would play with the scenario over and over in my head. I made a few tweaks, and this is what you can download and read.
Perhaps there is something feature length in there to expand on, I have made a few attempts to develop Karen beyond this short film. We almost shot it last year, very cheaply, but the Summer got away from us and we got caught up in other things.
It was always written in screenplay form and was revised slightly with the addition of a 'cold opening' to help set up the scene.
You will need Adobe Acrobat or something that can read .pdf files to view the screenplay.

Nomenclature
This side of the site, the stories and stuff, has an
odd name. After all, you know that I'm not Douglas Coupland
(high-five!)
already, so why draw attention to it?
This is my story.
Maybe you'll find it humorous, maybe you'll find it sad.

Delayed
Before the e-mails start pouring in (or don't start
pouring in). I have had to delay this weekly storytime project until I get a
grasp of the creative commons deed (http://creativecommons.org) which is a
little thingy to protect the work. Don't get me wrong, I Napster'd with the
best of you, but we have to have rules, This'll probably take a week or
so.

shooting.
When asked why she did it, she responded: "I just don't like Mondays."
