Alters screenplay

[dianneordi.livejournal.com]

I don't have MPD / DID, but I've had two close friends with DID and have known several others.

I'm currently working on a screenplay which I'm hoping will cast multiplicity in a favorable light, and would love to get some input.

The log line: A college student with multiple personalities must make a choice between the boy she loves and the alters who've kept her safe since childhood.

Although there's no explicit sex or violence, I've tried to be very straightforward, so there may be some triggers.

The screenplay can be downloaded it at www.fileden.com/files/2006/11/5/350846/Alters.pdf

Comments can be directed to dianneordi at excite dot com. Use "Alters" as the subject.

Thank you!
Dianne.

It's not that no multiples ever want to be singlets. Lots of gay people would like to be straight, too, but you'll sure as hell offend people writing about that. The point is that we're fighting the prejudice that of course we all want to be singlets, because everything is better when you're not crazy, right?

And you keep talking like you've written the multiple's Invisible Man, but you haven't. Heather gets rid of her head mates, and then gets a job, loses her jerk boyfriend on amicable terms, and marries the boy she loves. That's what you wrote in the script, it doesn't matter what you write in the thread. She decided to become a singlet, her life got worse, she was lonely, but then she got over it and everything worked out better than before. It's like you wrote Invisible Man and then set the manuscript on fire.
