A few years ago, a sequence played out in my head. I wasn’t sure what the sequence meant, but I knew it was the perfect way to start my next film script. A boy is woken up one morning by his mother who says she’s being arrested by the police and if he doesn’t act quickly, they’re going to arrest him and his sister too. The boy leaps out of bed, grabs his sister, and the two hide as the police rummage through their house. The police don’t find them, leave, and only then does the boy and his sister come out of hiding. They are seen, however, by their next door neighbor, Frank.
That’s all I had. I didn’t know who the boy was, who his sister was, why their mother was being arrested or where the story was going to go from there. But from that seed, a story began to sprout. It grew forwards and backwards. Back story took root, fleshing out the world they lived in. Characters, their actions, and their reactions branched upward and outward and I soon found myself completely immersed in the world that would become Remnants.

Here’s my first contribution to our viral marketing campaign. It’s on the cork board at McKay Used Books & CD’s. It’s right between the restrooms and right in front of the elevator. People are bound to see it. It’s also where I work, so it was super easy to do.
