1.We see a girl sleeping in what appears to be an average
middle class room.
2.Next scene is of a girl sleeping in a dirty shack in what
appears to be Somali.
3. We hear an alarm going off and see the American girl hit
the snooze button.
4.We then hear fighting in the streets and see the Somali
girl roll over.
5. We hear pounding on the door and someone yelling at the
American girl to wake up or she will be late for school.
6. The Somali girl is up and walking into a packed street.
7. The American girl is pounding on the bathroom door
American Girl
-Get out of the bathroom twerp, I’m going to be late for school
8. The Somali girl is next in line to receive a bowl of
white mush.
9. We hear water running and see the American girl pop out
of the shower curtain yelling
American Girl
-I’m going to kill you Brian, theres no hot water left!
10. We see Somali girl back in shack sitting next to two
siblings all sharing the bowl of mush.
11. American girl is rushing down the stairs throwing of her
jacket and sits down at the table to a plate full of eggs and bacon.
12. Somali girl is
getting dressed now in a cleaner Hijab and we see her help her siblings get

13. We hear a bus honk from outside and American girl runs
out the door yelling bye to her mother and pushes her brother out of the way so
she can get to the bus first.
14. We see Somali girl walking down a dirty street holding
the hands of her siblings
15. We see bus pull up to big bustling school and American

again and can’t wait to graduate from this crappy school.
16. We see Somali girl walking to a group of other children
all sitting outside under a tree with a chalkboard and an adult standing in the
front-presumably their school
This is a really neat idea. I like the contrast that you would be showing between the two girls. Definitely a statement.
ReplyDeleteThe phrases are weak but the script concept is strong. The visual impact would be big. You could likely produce this without any dialogue at all. You need to find a way to wrap it up at the end. Find a conclusion.
