TRYST OF BLUE

SIGHT

STORY

Guy begins his odyssey in the mysterious Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. There he meets AMOS, an African-American film teacher who shoots the documentary on the impending reunion of Guy and his Blue people. Amos himself has his own issues with his family. A natural aesthete, Amos has difficulty accepting his physically retarded daughter. As Amos ‘unravels’ the truth about Guy, he unknowingly reveals his own trauma. By the light of the moon, Guy meets a 200-year-old man (as rumor has it) who knows of the Blue people. The old man shows Guy a woodcarving that might reveal their secret migration, but the path to truth may not be seen with the eye.

SIGHT will be shot on digital video in the style of a “mock-documentary.” In keeping with the story, the Professor’s lessons on the theories of intellectual montage and film editing will be on display through out this section. Jump cuts and very short inserts of differing images into a scene will create added meanings. Example: A) shot on man screaming and pounding his fists. B) the back side of a donkey C) cut back to man. The idea is formed is that the man is an ass!
