New page

Back in high school, I heard what was probably even then an old joke, about the teacher assigning busy work to students: "Write me a story including religion, royalty, sex and mystery", but a crafty student immediately came back with '"My god!" said the princess, "I'm pregnant! I wonder whodunnit?"'

I had an idea to take a simple one page script and document the entire process of making a movie out of it, and thought that would make a good basis to start from, so here's the first step: the script. I'm adding one more element to the mix: science fiction, so that I can include cgi and makeup to the process.
