I finished (sort of)!

So I finally finished my applications to film school in the nick of time!

For one I had to write a short screenplay and I wanted to share a small part of it to everyone. I'm marketing this one as a Action/Sexual Thriller which is a genre I'm really exploring and getting into.

Here goes:

SPACE SHIP OPERA HOUSE

LILY GO, alien opera singer and heroine, is on stage in front of thousands of Galaxoids, Plutonians, and Phalanxyiods.

The exit doors BLAST open with laser beam shots. Markloid monster aliens charge through the aisles shooting indescriminately at the crowds.

An uproar of WAILS and CRIES pierce the air as the helpless audience scrambles in terror.

LILY GO:
(loudly)
STOP!
(deep pause)
I have what you want!

The Markloids stop shooting and point their beams at LILY GO. The lead Markloid, ANDRASTOFREEZE, steps onto the ledge of the stage. LILY GO winces. He is hideous and oozing.

ANDRASTOFREEZE:
Give us the stones! Or we will kill everyone in the room!

LILY GO has an Oscar-winning sad face. She falls to her knees momentarily before getting up.

LILY GO:
(quietly)
There is only one way to get them. And I must die. But first, send your men away from this ship. Only then will I give you what you look for.

FADE TO BLACK

BACKSTAGE

LILY GO and ANDRASTOFREEZE are alone in the near dark. LILY GO is elegant and stoic. ANDRASTOFREEZE is brooding and bulky.

LILY GO:
If you promise to never come back, then I will let you have the stones.

ANDRASTROFREEZE:
Yes, we will make that deal. Let this be the end of the war between the Markloids and the Eastern Galaxy. We will take back what is rightfully ours.

LILY GO:
To get them. You must go inside me. I will die soon after.

ANDRASTOFREEZE looks confused.

LILY GO:
You must penetrate me....sexually.

FADE TO BLACK

A small struggle is heard. LILY GO wins Best Actress, Screenplay, and Director. A CLANK of the stones. FOOTSTEPS echo away to the distance.

LILY GO is on her back, dead. A light shines on her. And the camera rotates away into blackness.

FIN.


Don't you see? She sacrifices everything for the people on the ship! Even though there is still injustice, she is at peace with the ultimate goal of saving her people!? I worked on this for two days straight, minus pudding breaks (350 cal each) and running on a treadmill once (16 cal burned total).
