Morning was dng assignment.. then tut.. then we went to drink mocha.. waste time.. toktok. Then lecture.. lecture was by this writer.. Katrina Graham.. she was here to tok to us abt themes.. so she talked abt herself.. n showed us 3 of her work.. she wrote and filmed it.. I lyk it.. the 1st one.. was for a competition.. it was the very 1st time she wrote a script.. n this competition.. if ur script gets picked.. u will be able to film n direct it.. they will provide the crew for u.. so hers gt pick.. so lucky.. so she could direct it.. this film was quite hard to understand.. especially if u nt a catholic..

Then the 2nd one.. was abt her mum.. oooo.. I loved this one.. very meaningful.. touching.. n colourful Eventhough its abt something saddening.. let me tell u all abt it.. hahaha.. compo time. haha..

Her mum and her.. lives in aust but diff state.. her mum lived in gold coast.. she is a kindergarten teacher.. n has 1 14 yr old girl.. n a 1 yr old baby.. anyway.. 1 day they realised her mum has cancer.. n in the last stage.. cannot live very long le.. so she decided tt we will move in with the mum to take care of her.. but her husband was lyk.. wat can I do in gold coast.. so they ended up staying in Brisbane as it is closer to gold coast.. she can drive there 1 hr +.. n the husband had a place to work..

She and her mum were nt tt close.. but after she started taking care of her mum.. both of them realised hw great each other were.. but tt didn’t last long.. her mum passed away 2 mths later.. She was totally devastated.. sad.. she realise hw great her mum was so late..

Then 1 wk later.. her 2 frens approached her to ask her if she wanted to help them write a script for some reality tv thing.. for some competition.. so she was thinking.. y nt.. since she loves to write..

But she couldn’t… coz she was still sad abt her mum passing away.. they were suppose to meet 1 wk later with the scripts.. wat they researched etc.. even till the last hr.. she still couldn’t get any idea for the script.. she felt damn bad.. she let her frens down.. she had nth for them.. then she thought.. maybe if she wrote down her thought abt her mum.. she could let it go n write something for her frens.. but after writing abt her mum n her thoughts she still couldn’t get any other n it was time to meet her frens..

So she went to meet them.. apologized to them tt she couldn’t get and idea.. but all she gt were thoughts n abt her mum.. so they told her to jus tell them wat it was.. end up they were so touched n crying when they heard it.. they picked to do tt idea instead.. they did the script n storyboard in a diff way.. anyway.. while watching it.. it reminded me of ah ma.. of all timings.. =’

Anyway.. it was so impactful.. gd.. meaningful.. nice.. n it won some award.. etc.. but it took her 1 yr to be able to sit down n watch it!! She doesn’t noe hw she could go through the whole prod..

The 3rd one was abt a pontianak.. dunno hw u spell.. anyway.. instead of the common.. y pple scared of them story.. she wrote n filmed the story in the perspective of the pontianak.. nice.. nvr thought of it tt way..

Interesting lesson.. =)
