What do you do when you have stay-at-home orders during a pandemic? Adapt where you can.
Brigitte and Hannah Cranfill decided to sign up for an online screenwriting class in April 2020 through the Atlanta Film Society. This is where they met - virtually - along with another student, Esha. Hannah suggested to write a short-film and submit it to a "locals only" screening. Esha and Brigitte didn't hesitate. The theme of the short-film screening for 2020 is called "So Bad, It's Good."
As a team, they co-wrote, produced, and directed a short-film...literally at home and updated each other weekly through Zoom calls. The short-film created is called "Adaptations", was produced in less than 6 weeks, and t was unexpectedly selected for screening in Atlanta. It's amazing what you can accomplish working creatively with others. It was definitely a "So Bad, It's Good" situation.
The in-person screening was a drive-in at the Plaza Theatre's parking lot in July. We're still waiting to find out from the Atlanta Film Society when the virtual screening will happen, so others can participate, view and vote.
FYI - The next online screenwriting class is in October with Kathy Berardi as the instructor.
