We just finished a new draft of Soledad’s Awakening. It is a great day for me and Cesar Viana Teague (my partner and co-writer). We went over every scene and piece of dialogue that needed work. At times, when I felt a character wasn’t resolving, I would ask my dreams to tell me what to do. And my subconscious would actually answer with a whole scene! Cesar would also come up with very visual ideas and dialogue that would make our scenes and characters more compelling and dimensional.
Now the whole film feels like a truly political thriller with moody tones, gothic scapes and surreal nightmares. I can’t wait to test some of the key scenes with the fine actors from the Directing Actors Workshop I am attending.
