A chance to help make a LGBT movie come to life? Sign me the hell up! And guess what? You can help too. Please welcome Brad Vance to my little corner of the web and see how you can play a part in taking A Little Too Broken<\/strong> to the big screen.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to Bey for letting me take \"\"<\/a>over his blog today! I want to talk about the development process I went through as I turned my novel A Little Too Broken<\/i> into a screenplay. I\u2019ve got my first draft done, and I\u2019m doing a Kickstarter<\/a> to help me pay for \u201cdevelopment expenses,\u201d including script hosting on sites that can get it industry attention, getting paid evaluations from Hollywood pros, and hopefully going to LA in June for Scriptfest\/Pitchfest, where I can meet other screenwriters and learn how to sell my script to Hollywood! You can contribute here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How did it all begin? I started taking acting classes last fall, almost by accident. I was slothing on my couch, wishing \u201csomeone\u201d would make a movie out of one of my books. I\u2019ve always known Broken<\/i> was the perfect property \u2013 it\u2019s got a small cast, few locations, oh and puppies! How can you lose?<\/p>\n

Then some voice inside me shouted, \u201cShut the fuck up! Stop talking about If Only and see what you can do to make it happen!\u201d So I started googling for Reno filmmakers, and while I didn\u2019t find a film studio, I found a web page for a short film festival, and saw that it was partly sponsored by a local acting school, Take 2 Performers Studio. I thought, well, if nothing else, maybe I should see about acting classes to improve my audiobook performance skills.<\/p>\n

Turns out that Take 2 is a real feeder to Hollywood, that many of the young actors taking classes there work in LA part time, doing roles on McGyver and Bones and Nike and Vans commercials. It was the real deal!<\/p>\n

And not only did I get bit by the acting bug, but I started writing short scenes for the actors, which you can find here on my blog<\/a> (as well as the Broken<\/i> script). Their response was enthusiastic, and it gave me the courage to take on an entire screenplay.<\/p>\n

I read copiously \u2013 other screenplays, the how to books (and I learned which \u201chow to\u201d books I should ignore) the Reddit screenwriting subreddit, the Black List blog, and more. I learned how to do it \u201ctheir way,\u201d that is, the way you write a screenplay that might actually get sold, and made into a movie.<\/p>\n

That is not<\/em> to say, write to the beats, write by numbers, have X happen on page Y (though there are definitely books that teach that). But it is to say, don\u2019t editorialize in your Action lines, don\u2019t overuse parentheticals (the acting directions like \u201crolls eyes\u201d or \u201cwryly\u201d to dictate tone). I even learned that parentheticals are called \u201cwrylies\u201d because of the overuse of that word! Which, I\u2019m proud to say, I\u2019d only used once, and immediately deleted. Let the characters and the story do the talking, not you.<\/p>\n

Which is hard for a novelist! Especially one like me who\u2019s always been criticized by some for my Balzacian tendency to launch into expository fulminations. But I did rein it in.<\/p>\n

The thing that startled me the most was how much had to change between the novel and the screenplay. There was stuff I had to change that made the script better, maybe even made the story better than it was in the novel.<\/p>\n

Obviously, I had to do something about all the sex! The novel readers wanted lots of it, and they got it. But I wanted an R rated script, which of course meant removing most of the hot sexin\u2019 from the novel. It\u2019s going to be hard enough selling LGBT content to anyone outside of the \u201cniche market\u201d studios who make those films exclusively, without adding the softcore obstacle to it.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s okay. What\u2019s left now is what\u2019s integral \u2013 Jamie masturbating (chest up!) in the shower and then bursting into tears, Tom masturbating with a flashback to his rehab in the VA and a funny conversation with a physical therapist about prostate health. Tom and Jamie having sex the first time, of course, because how do you do that with Tom\u2019s prosthetic legs, you can\u2019t just leave out the technical obstacle to their lovemaking. I condensed two or more scenes of that into one, and cut away once the real fuckin\u2019 begins.<\/p>\n

And as far as anything rough\/kinky goes, I managed to condense that into three lines from the book. Tom and Jamie are about to go to Tom\u2019s family\u2019s house for Thanksgiving, and Tom gives Jamie a tip on how to deal with Patrick, Tom\u2019s dad:<\/p>\n

TOM<\/i><\/p>\n

Oh, and if you call Dad \u2018sir,\u2019 that\u2019ll help. He likes that.<\/i><\/p>\n

JAMIE<\/i><\/p>\n

Yeah.<\/i><\/p>\n

(dirty grin)<\/i><\/p>\n

Runs in the family.<\/i><\/p>\n

TOM<\/i><\/p>\n

Damn straight.<\/i><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all it takes in film to express everything<\/i> that\u2019s going on with \"\"<\/a>them sexually, without having to frighten the horses :)<\/p>\n

I really loved this line of Ava\u2019s in the novel: \u201cYour problem, hon, is that you turn every simple box of a problem into a Rubik\u2019s Cube. Then you twist it around and around until all the colors are screwed up, and then you look at it say, oh, it\u2019s hopeless, I can\u2019t solve that, it\u2019s too complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

But\u2026 it wasn\u2019t working in the movie. First of all, it\u2019s really long. Second of all, I realized that while it\u2019s a great \u201cline\u201d in a book, it\u2019s not something one person says to another. Out it goes!<\/p>\n

I had to \u201cexternalize\u201d a lot of what I\u2019d done as narrative. For instance, I took lines Jamie said in internal monologue, like \u201cBesides, he thought with morbid humor, how sick does that sound \u2013 Jamie, Jackson and Jane? Jackson had come from the Humane Society with his name, and so would Jane. But it would sound to anyone else like he was a crazy cat lady.\u201d And I turned that into Jamie talking to Ava:<\/p>\n

AVA<\/i><\/p>\n

Why couldn't you adopt her? You know Jackson's lonely. And don't say it always ends in tears.<\/i><\/p>\n

JAMIE<\/i><\/p>\n

Everything ends in tears. What if they fought? I couldn't stand to take her back to kitty prison. And how sick does that sound \u2013 Jamie, Jackson and Jane? Everyone would think I\u2019m a crazy cat lady.<\/i><\/p>\n

AVA<\/i><\/p>\n

So you left her in kitty prison instead. <\/i><\/p>\n

JAMIE<\/i><\/p>\n

(drinks and makes a face)<\/i><\/p>\n

See? You're driving me to drink.<\/i><\/p>\n

AVA<\/i><\/p>\n

Like you need a driver.<\/i><\/p>\n

Worst of all, just transcribing the book into the script, I could see that Jamie was coming across \u201cflat,\u201d as a character, that a lot of his sympathetic appeal in the book came from his internal monologues, as seen above. But his actual dialogue made him sound, for the most part, like a boring self-pitying drip. So, I had to steal some lines from Ava, and invent some new ones, to give him more dark humor. And to have more of those funny moments to punctuate the seriousness.<\/p>\n

I studied the script from Manchester by the Sea<\/i> for ways to handle the flashbacks I needed to do, and between seeing the movie and reading the script, I realized how effective it was to have those moments.<\/p>\n

In Manchester, <\/i>Lee, the Casey Affleck character, becomes the reluctant guardian of his nephew Patrick after Patrick\u2019s father dies. In one scene, Patrick tells his uncle he\u2019s going to have a girl in his room overnight. There\u2019s a pause, and Lee says, \u201cAm I supposed to tell you to use a condom?\u201d People broke up laughing in the theater, all the more because the main notes of the movie were so serious. I was definitely looking for more of those counterpoints in my screenplay than I had in the novel.<\/p>\n

There was a long ending to the book, after the real climax of the book, at Thanksgiving dinner. In that ending, Jamie adopts Jane, his second cat, after all, having failed to adopt her the first time. There\u2019s a lot of back and forth with his new extended family about how the two cats are getting on.<\/p>\n

And I realized\u2026 no. Thanksgiving is the big finish. That\u2019s the emotional climax and any blah blah after that is just going to rob that of its impact. So I condensed the whole coda to a single scene that recaptures and reflects the very first scenes of the movie \u2013 read it for yourself, I won\u2019t spoil it! Simple is better, and in a film, one image, especially when it rounds back to the first one in the movie, is worth\u2026 oh, you know.<\/p>\n

And to be honest, when choosing my battles on what to keep and what to toss, I had my eye on budgets! At 96\/97 pages, that\u2019s about a 100 minute movie. Which costs less to make than a 120 minute movie, but isn\u2019t so short it\u2019s not a \u201creal\u201d feature.<\/p>\n

As far as keeping backstory, I was worried both about the screen time it would take, and how it might derail the pace of the story. I realized that Jamie and Daniel\u2019s history, where Jamie falls for wicked Daniel and ends up on drugs and HIV positive, could take the least amount of time. Tom\u2019s got a longer arc of injury and recovery, that needs that screen time, but He Done Him Wrong is the same story every time, right? In four minutes, it\u2019s all done, from the moment happy, innocent Jamie meets Daniel in a bar to the day he tests positive after losing ten pounds as Daniel\u2019s drug-fuck toy of the month.<\/p>\n

I liked using flash scenes for some bits of information, especially for some of the sexy bits, fantasy scenes especially. In the first part of the script, they get the \u201cshock\u201d out of the way of two men kissing, you know?<\/p>\n

For instance, when Jamie shows up at CCC for the first time, and he\u2019s alone with Tom in the office\u2026<\/p>\n

Jamie\u2019s eyes flick to a desk.<\/i><\/p>\n

QUICK FLASH<\/i><\/p>\n

Tom\u2019s arm sweeping everything off the desk, pushing Jamie down on it, climbing on top of him and pinning his wrists to the desk, Jamie\u2019s eyes wide...<\/i><\/p>\n

BACK TO SCENE<\/i><\/p>\n

Jamie blinks away the image. He looks at Tom. Tom seems to have had pretty much the same vision. They both look away.<\/i><\/p>\n

See? It\u2019s shocking and yet it\u2019s over so fast that the audience doesn\u2019t have time to get uncomfortable w\/ the gay sexin\u2019 bits, but all the same it busts their cherry so it\u2019s not as shocking when you get to the real thing!<\/p>\n

I think the only thing that would have fucked me up would have been if I thought my Prose was Deathless, my Story Perfect. I\u2019ve written a lot in the last 3 \u00bd years since ALTB, and I can see the flaws in it that I\u2019d fix as a novelist if I was writing it again today. But all I can do now is fix them in the screenplay.<\/p>\n

My great downfall as a selfpub writer was writing for myself, with the arrogant certainty that \u201cI do not have to write alpha pack shifters if that\u2019s what\u2019s selling! I can write Werewolves of Brooklyn<\/i> and the world will come clamoring and buy my <\/i>book instead!\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeah, about that. That\u2019s why I have $1.50 in savings now. This time, I knew I had to tell my story,<\/i> but I couldn\u2019t just tell it my way.<\/i> Not only because, I realized, \u201cthey\u201d wouldn\u2019t buy it but because\u2026 it didn\u2019t work \u201cmy way.\u201d I found that the framework of screenwriting forced<\/i> me to see the flaws in my story, made me refocus on the key elements.<\/p>\n

One thing I read about adaptation really stuck with me. When Alfred Hitchcock would adapt a novel to the screen, he would read it once. And never look at the book again. He thought that if he couldn\u2019t recall a scene from the book, it didn\u2019t belong in the movie.<\/p>\n

Another writer, David Trottier in his Screenwriter\u2019s Bible,<\/i> said that when adapting, you pick 5-10 scenes in the book that are the most powerful, and those are the core of your screenplay. The rest is croutons (he didn\u2019t say that).<\/p>\n

And okay, even though I took a lot of \u201cemotional editorializing\u201d out of the Action lines, there were places I couldn\u2019t help but leave it in. After Jamie can\u2019t adopt in the first scene, I had \u201cHe\u2019s a bad person,\u201d or \u201cHe knows it\u2019ll end in tears,\u201d etc. Those aren\u2019t action line stuff.<\/i> So out they went, and good riddance.<\/p>\n

But there was one place I just had to leave my little mark. When Daniel\u2019s abandoned Jamie for a new twink, Jamie\u2019s still chasing him, frantically calling him.<\/p>\n

JAMIE<\/i><\/p>\n

Daniel? I've been calling you for days. Just call me, okay? Or text me so I know you\u2019re okay.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Daniels of the world are always okay.<\/i><\/p>\n

But, other than a veiled swipe at \u201cTrump Privatizes VA\u201d as a headline Jamie would be reading by the time someone read the script, I took myself out of the story, as much as it hurt to do it as a novelist who\u2019s always weighing in on his characters and their world!<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s a lot of technical stuff about the script. The one thing that astonished me the most is that this story still makes me burst into tears, which very few things can do. I burst into tears when I wrote it, and then went through the whole catharsis again when I did the audiobook (the sound of Patrick\u2019s tears at the Thanksgiving dinner table are not me \u201cacting\u201d), and again now with the screenplay.<\/p>\n

Am I Crazy? Am I the only one who\u2019s going to blubber at this story? I hope not. But you never really know with your own story, how it looks to someone else, from a distance. Let\u2019s hope it doesn\u2019t look that much different.<\/p>\n

Again, you can help me get to the next level with this screenplay by donating to my Kickstarter here<\/a>! It\u2019s an all or nothing affair, so if I don\u2019t get to $2,000 in pledges, I get $0. Also, you can cut to the chase and read the screenplay for yourself here<\/a>. This money will help me pay for development costs like script hosting, evaluations, and a script pitching conference in LA in late June. The goal right now is to get this script saleable, get it in front of as many eyes as possible, and get ready for the next phase \u2013 world domination! I mean, making an actual movie!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always donated 50% of the ebook\/audiobook proceeds to veterans\u2019 organizations, and in addition, I\u2019ll be donating 10% of any income I might make from selling book rights, script option, script sale, profit points, whatever. So please help me make this happen, and thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
