Incorporela preview

I have some of the outline here for the to be worked on script. This is for members only. This contains maybe a few spoilers, but if you are interested in learning what my project is all about, here is the 1st page of outline.

Incorporeal outline

-            Open with an ad for Dr. Thompson’s Nightmare away drug.  (Needs a name for the drug)

-            Tippy about age 5 walking to the store with her mom and someone is out front with a box of free kittens. Tippy plays with the kittens and really wants one, but her mom informs her in Spanish that she can’t have a kitten. She’s allergic (the mom)

-            Tippy cries over the cat and becomes obsessed with having a cat. She draws cats on her homework, everything she gets has to have a cat on it. She wants a cat so badly.

-            Tippy cries hard over watching a horror movie where a cat get killed. Even though the cat was the monster in the first place. She normally loves horror movies, but any with cats getting hurt bothers her.

-            While at the science fair, Tippy spots a model of a cat skeleton and another project with the word Helix in it. That’s when she starts to create her new cat friend, a small black shadowy cat with a cat skull, named Helix.

-            Ads in the background for the anti-nightmare drug pop up in the background.

-            Tippy uses her imagination to build worlds for her and Helix while they play in the woods. They play pirates, tree dwelling creatures, and fairies. At times she can spot other kids through the trees playing together, while she is off in the woods, technically alone. She begins to reform Helix to be more kid shaped.

-            There are 2 girls in Tippy’s class that always pick on her about her obsession with cats. Becky and Brandy. They like to steal her drawings and rip them up and claim that Tippy smells like cat pee, or that she’s a witch and sacrifices cats.

-            Tippy is now about 11-12 and it’s close to Halloween. Being the weird horror girl, Becky and Brandy decide they need a freak at their Halloween party to spice things up and invite Tippy to a sleep over. Tippy is happy to be included but Becky and Brandy then insist that Tippy shower and wear clean cloths, they don’t want the sleepover to smell like cat pee, and bring scary stories to tell.

-            At the sleepover is a new boy to town that Tippy thinks is cute. She tells a few scary stories but 1 is the story of Shade and how to summon him. Helix is sitting and listening to her stories, only Tippy can see him.

-            Despite the kids usually being mean to Tippy, they were really nice to her at the party and the boy she likes had started talking to her. He likes a lot of the same horror movies she does. Tippy gathers the courage to ask him to the dance coming up and he says yes.

-            Tippy has her mom help her with a new dress, and excited Tippy confides in Helix who has shifted form again to be older. He has grown up with her. He seems a bit hesitant to be happy for Tippy. Cut to Helix listening in on Becky and Brandy talking shit about Tippy at the party, behind her back.

-            Meanwhile in the demon realm. Mara is getting agitated and weak. She complains about the new drug making it hard to feed off nightmares. Tablets and new phones are diminishing the imaginations of children and they don’t dream as big as they use to, so their nightmares are small and weak, and that damn drug is taking away nightmares from adults. Using a black scrying mirror, Mara looks in on the human realm and catches sight of Tippy happily playing with Helix in a world she imagined for them. Mara watches as some of the things she created glitch in and out of reality. She gasps and states that Tippy is a Dream Weaver. She had been sure that they were all gone or diminished in power these days to be little more than magicians. Mara could use Tippy to pull dreams into reality, make nightmares real and scare people again so she could feed well.
