Fields Don't Look Back

  

Here are my different works on the topic of time that goes by and youth. 

• My first 6 minutes-scenario entitled "Fields Don't Look Back"

There is no good or bad way of preserving a friendship. With this script I wanted to show how frustrating it can be to abruptly realize that as we grow up, everything seems to shift away from us. Paths become individual. That can be hard to accept when you’ve grown, evolved, and matured alongside certain people. I tried to apply screenwriting principles in order to build an emotionally strong story and create tension. I built each character with a distinct voice and goal. The plot is built inside out, the main character is the beginning of everything. The main conflict is interpersonal.

• This script is inspired by another work entitled "Les champs ne regardent pas en arrière" 

Initially written in French, it also deals with the metaphor of the movement.  I decided to write about themes related to movement : travel, departures, drifting identity, friendship and romantic bonds, the gap between expectation and reality, thoughts in constant motion, the present moment fading inevitably, nostalgia, and the fear of committing to a reality that feels too heavy. Considering these themes, I chose to focus on one narrative technique in particular: time. I wanted to explore the fragmentation of time. The story doesn’t unfold in a strictly linear way; it progresses through impressions, fragments, emotional ellipses, and reflections that suspend the flow of events. This helps to foreground the uncertainty and inner turmoil of the characters.
