Extra Blog Post: ROP Assignment

Recently, we have begun writing our own scripts in ROP. The link below leads to my script, Perchance To Dream. The script is a brief story about a girl named Noelle whose dreams haunt her. I drew inspiration from an episode of The Twilight Zone--which is one of my favorite shows--though I changed the ending. The episode was about a man who visits a psychiatrist about the dreams he keeps encountering fatal situations in, though I chose another direction to go in. I am also considering combining this script with the film I am working on for my independent component, Girl's Night Out, seeing as they have some similar aspects. I think the combination of the two scripts would work very well.
