Drama Film? Yay or Nay

 Hey Guys! Today was a good day, I can’t complain. It is a Wednesday evening as I am writing this blog, but I have not managed to get organized just yet! hopefully in 2 days I am able to get a partner that will be much better with time management than I am! XD But without further ado I will being talking about my project. 

              Being asked what kind of movie film I wanted to make was pretty simple to answer. You ask, and I would say a Drama film, but its better said than done. Making this drama film would require ALOT of thinking and creativity; it may sound hard, but it isn't impossible. My vision for this project would have a soft style, colorful, bright, vibrant, and kind of childish. I want to do something that's storyline is based on a child. Something that involves an innocent child being fazed by family drama if that makes sense. Like a young child in the midst of  a toxic family. This choice of genre may change due to the fact that there can and will be setbacks during this project but its good to build a bridge on a steady foundation. The intended audience for the film is for kids, and young moms.
