Romancing an Idea

How much do you love the concept you are working on for your next script? In a great post, C-47 talked about falling in love with his idea. I identified so closely with his thought I had to post about it here.



when a great idea for a movie hits you and you get excited about it, it's like meeting someone new and becoming instantly infatuated with them. you start to form a crush on them. the same with the idea--you start to think about it all the time and smile knowing that no one else in the world feels the way you do about that idea. with a person, your friend might see you smiling for seemingly no reason and ask, "why are you so happy?" to which you might reply, "oh, i met this girl." it's the same with a great movie idea. though instead of telling your friend about the girl you met, you say, "oh, i have this great idea for a film."
