As I grew up in a small town, achohol, drugs, partying and violence have been a part of everyday life for me. While Iv not partaken in any (cough, cough), I have witnessed first hand how these things have had a massive impact on a community, good and bad. I have seen how it creates relationships, destroys families and effects social status. How alchohol can make a night out, while secretly ruining lives. How drugs inspire and expand the mind, while creating their own brand of social misfit. And how violence depicts an age of degenerate sheep that just cant say no to their peers. While this might be expected anywhere, its the fact of 'small town mentality' that give its younger inhabitants an almost pathetic choice, be cool, or dont be.
I have realised that in places such as my hometown, having a good time has a price.
I want to create a narrative that describes what Iv mentioned above, but without fitting to a standard drug film cliche. While the massive question is on the eventual issues with mental and physical health, I also want to depict the change in social status and personal wellbeing of individuals facing such problems, including the good times one can have with the right self control.
While I have no definitive storyline or structure, I feel like the below images suite what i eventually want to achieve.
In the next few weeks im going to attempt to write a base storyline, maybe even storyboards and a rough script. Ill keep you updated.
