ALAYAS – Sean Ballantyne
MARK/MARDALE – Peter Nelson
VOICE OVER – Becky Shrimpton
Steven – Bubba

Get to know the writer Joshua Collins:

1. What is your screenplay about?

In short, the film is about a lethal obsession and how it can alter a persons perception of their world. As well as a very uncovered subject matter(in film)–aero-technology.

But overall, the experience might leave (hopefully) wondering/discussing idea’s that have never crossed their minds regarding aero-technology and energy sources.

2. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

Considering the state of our world’s condition and the struggle we find ourselves trying to right a very evident problem, the film is a different look at what is more than possible (via-solutions). It also gives light to the ‘why’ on more than one occasion, but utilizing a fun and…

MY MOMMY, Poetry by 13 Year Old Daughter

WILDsound Festival's avatarWILDsound Festival

Genre: Love, Family, Mother, Relationship

MY MOMMY
by 13 Year Old Daughter

My mommy is my friend
she is a working lady
but knows of every household trend
and because of her our house is steady.
I wish I could be like my mommy
but no one can take her place
she is as sweet as poppy
and is the “queen of grace”.
She is cool and funny
and a fun-loving woman
her smile is sunny
and loves to be near a kitchen fire and a pan.
She is a great cook
and prepares scrumptious dishes
she loves to read books
and simply adores fishes
