Help with script serious screenwriters please help?
So, my story idea was that a man brings a mannequin with him whenever he's on transportation because he has a problem with people getting too near his personal space. (Think a guy who has issues over someones untied shoelace on his own shoe)
Thing is he wants a human connection. I was thinking that a conflict would be himself:specifically his inability to befriend other people because he wishes they were more aware of other people and weren't so careless in their actions.
I wanted for the relationship with the mannequin to slowly change from him just using it as a convenient object to it being a substitute for other people. And there to be some way that he loses the mannequin to create tension like someone accidentally pushes him from behind while waiting for the train and the mannequin falls on the tracks.
But, I feel like bringing in the mannequin into this story isn't helping him achieve his want which is human contact.
I thought maybe I'd fit the mannequin at the end to show how he hasn't grown from wanting people to act a certain way but I have all these scenes in my head to show his relationship with the mannequin becoming that of a substitute for people.
Please help me figure this one out.
Also, I feel like this script sounds too much like Lars and the Real Girl. My dude is just not as awkward as him, isn't in a romantic relationship with the mannequin and doesn't have a whole town to support him.
My original concept was a guy brings a mannequin with him on his travels, but I feel like Im making a statement more than a story here with conflict more conflict and a resolution. The mannequin just feels like an obstacle in this one. Because he's acting on his not wanting people to touch him rather than on his want of human connection.
1 AnswerMovies9 years agoWhere are some places to meet father for the first time?
We've already started talking on the phone so this wouldnt be the first real convo though I have plans to get into the deeper emotional stuff. This is the first time in over 10 years that I get to meet him. He briefly lived with us when I was about 5 and I don't remember his face so he's physically a stranger.
My mom is adamant that he not enter her house and I'm fine with that, question is where to meet. My mom's coming along and I'm considering if it's a huge emotional commotion, I prefer not to have yelling in a restaurant or a park though restaurant already sounds cliche and boring to me. I don't really want to be doing things that are fun and interactive like playing a game somewhere either, just a place that is useful for talking. A park everyone will be sitting side by side and I don't see that working out too well, maybe we can walk around...
Keep in mind that I live in the NY and am thinking of meeting in the city, though idk if my mom is up for it.

1 AnswerDrawing & Illustration1 decade agoGoing to create an Ebay's selling account need help/ beginner??
I don't have a credit. As of right now I have no money and would like to know how exactly does Paypal work? Should I set up a separate bank account to get money transferred there? Is it wise to accept credit cards instead of just money orders, (I'm not sure how credit cards work) With fees on Ebay do they take it out of your Paypal account? Is this selling thing as complicated as I'm making it out to be? Can you start with no money in this Paypal account or should I get money and put it there then start?
Please I need someone who can answer all these questions.

1 AnswerOther - Visual Arts1 decade agounrequited love. Please explain.?
I do not really understand the concept of unrequited love when one uses the example that they've liked a person who did not know it and so it was unrequited. Why is this form of love called unrequited in some cases? The person who is being adored does not even know that someone likes them. Can't love be unrequited only when one likes the other but the other does not like them in that way? I think in many ways love is unrequited in all context because the depth of each person love cannot compare to the other. People love each other differently, one more so than the other.
