Good Afternoon Ma'am,
I just finished answering the queries in your blog.
Have a nice day and God Speed.

My original script entitled Journey is about a curious and adventurous five year old boy named Carlo. He lived peacefully in a modern type of house near the beach. He was the only child and yet, his parents did’t pay more attention to him because they were always at work. Only his grandmother took good care of him. His grandmother gave him a mission - to find the missing pair of a very old stone.
His adventure started when he accidentally fell from the boat and reached the bottom of the sea. The mermaids took him and introduced him to their leader who asked Carlo to stay. But the leader threatened to devour him if he will not leave immediately. Carlo encountered next the school of sharks. One of them insisted Carlo to stay but Carlo panicked and got wounded. When sharks smelled the blood, they chased him until he reached the top of the sea. A family adopted him. In the end, Carlo went home with his loving wife and was able to find the pair of stone by recalling his childhood’s adventurous days.
Carlo, my main character and I has slight similarities. Carlo's parents are not that minding him much at his early age. My parents are also busy at work. My mother is leaving early in the morning and going home late from work that we didn't have time to talk. Since I came in the Philippines, I've never meet my father. But we have contact through phone. It is also my grandmother taking good care of my siblings.
The message of my story is if something is meant for you, whatever obstacles that passes your way, you will surely get it at the end like when Carlo got the stone when he went back to his hometown... And one more thing, you will only learn the lessons in life basically, if you realize your mistakes or if you've gone through hardships in reaching your goals. But it doesn't mean that you need to go through hardships. It is the experience that matters. Because experience is your best mentor.
Theirs no person in particular that inspired me do to my short script. I just thought of the story when I woke up. I'm not really inspired that day. Especially if you've already thought of your future task that you need to do before the end of the term. It looks like it's impossible for you to finish a story in almost half of the term. Because it is not easy to think out of the box and explore your imagination to the fullest to address your main point of view to your readers.Making a script is not a joke.
As of now, I'm not sure if I will persue scriptwriting. But I'm very much interested in
this course especially in the line of advertising but not that much in film business. Film business is not my major priority. I think if I will rank it, it will only be 25% of my plan.Though it looks interesting.
I will get to choose the actors/ actresses who will be casted for my script, it will be the kid version of Jhon Loid for Carlo. And for Lara, the fiance of Carlo, maybe it will be Bea Alonzo. And my director will be Carlo Caparas.
The experience of Carlo's Journey and the lessons that thought him makes my script worth producing or watching. Because it can teach the viewers especially children how to deal
challenges that always dares us in our everyday life.
In my opinion, the state of the Philippine movie industry at present is improving. Because our local movies are mostly acknowledgeable in foreign countries. We can already com pit in foreign countries comparing to our previews films.
I just want to tell those aspiring writer like me to pursue screenwriting especially those who have talents in writing and has great imagination. Who know, in the near future, you will be one of the great writers. Just don't limit your imagination. As what Ms. Toledo says ,imagination and negligence are the only limitations.
