This is great, Nolan. Honestly, however, it's a lot to digest as exposition/narrative. Characters, plot, theme, languages, innuendo. Hay muchísimo que leer e entender. As a former soap opera ("daytime serial") writer and actor, every soaper begins with what's called its "bible," basically a history of the characters, their interrelationships, and when the "action" is set. Once that's been established, we worked in 13-week cycles, factoring in the guaranteed "air time" promised to each actor in his/her contract. Hence, lots of repetition. Nonetheless, the 13-week cycle moves us from point A > B. Then, individual scripts are created and rehearsed. Perhaps this would be an ideal vehicle for you to read, personally, into the camera? I believe it would be easier for us to follow. xox
Thanks for sharing, and that's good to know. I'm not aiming for a soap opera, but I understand how that could be easier to follow. Based on the engagement of my series bible, I might give up on this idea as far as Substack goes, but we'll see what happens in the coming week.
Don't give up! Por favor, ¡no dejes este proyecto! You've dripped blood, sweat, and tears into it already, Nolan. En cuanto a todo lo que te dije, ,mi comentario más exigente es que nos presenta esta introducción personalmente -- a través de un video -- porque tu persona les queda bien con los demás.
