Mother, Mine

A script writer called Susan Everett gave a talk about her work and creating interesting stories and characters. Her talk quite informative as she would concentrate on developing characters rather than the story. This approach would then inform and improve the story. This approach reminds me the t.v. show Mad Men. Mad Men's is full of compelling characters and it doesn't feel like it follows the conventional way to tell stories in television. It feels like you are watching a period in someone's life.

The short 'Mother, Mine' makes use of interesting characters to push the story. The story is quite confusing at first, however as events start to turn, everything falls into place.
