Falling

 

a screenplay by Alan Black

Falling plays with ideas of interconnectedness.


As the man said, “That’s what stories are:

not almanacs of your waking life but messages from your unconscious history.

They come from the back of your mind, not from its forefront.

This would eventually be made very clear to me.”

Alice, the lead in this prismatic, mindfully schizophrenic story,

doesn’t see the web behind her world until it’s already too late.


This is a very philosophical script and a film of it should probably never be attempted.

But if it was, it’d be fucking great.
