A short taster for feature film "The Helper", currently in pre-production.
Thanks for connecting, Almine. I feel your determination in your bio. Any success with directors?
Hi David, If nothing else, I am determined...! Thanks for your comment. Some really positive pitches and hoping for the best. How are things with your work?
Thanks for connecting.
Likewise... let me know if you'd like to learn more about the project I mentioned.
I have a scene where the daughters are saying good-bye to their parents for the last time. The parents won’t survive the script.

Expand postI have a scene where the daughters are saying good-bye to their parents for the last time. The parents won’t survive the script. The daughters have some dialogue and the father smiles and wipes a tear. I would like to repeat that scene, without the dialogue, in the epilogue where we find out what happens to the daughters by way of Voice Over. What happens to them is good and in this repeated scene I want to stop it with the father smiling, before he wipes the tear. The question is this: How would I indicate in the script that this is a repeated scene? I mean, I don’t think this quite qualifies as a Flashback . . . but I don’t know if there is anything specific like that where I would need to indicate what it is -- as you would a Flashback or Montage sequence. I have written out the same scene over again without the dialogue of the daughters, but is that all that needs to be done? Thank you for your help.
Phillip's comment is interesting because I had always thought of flashbacks as 'moving back in time to new material', that is, not to a repeated scene. That said, I don't think the use of 'Flashback' in the slug line for a repeated scene would be a problem for me.
Richard – what you’re describing is a pure and simple flashback. You may want to talk with the Director about how to shoot it. I’ve done flashbacks where I incorporate a slight color shift to reflect that.
Thanks, Doug. That's a good idea to keep in mind.
