The Flood - My 'The Painted Door'

One of my next projects is a short script entitled ‘The Flood’. It’s always amazing to see how people react in natural disasters. Sometimes it’s not the best reaction as their minds tell them things that put themselves and/or others in personal danger. At other times, logic is thrown out the window. That will be the basis for this script. I haven’t entirely worked out the plot, but it will be based on a once-in-a-lifetime flood in a major city. The script is inspired by two things: the short story ‘The Painted Door’ by Sinclair Ross (which I’m sure every Canadian school kid knows about); and the flood that hit Calgary in 2013.

I’m using the flood as the event that reveals the secret of a relationship (the element I’m using from ‘The Painted Door’. As I work out the details in my head, the more it sounds like a modern day, urban ‘The Painted Door’. In film making terms, this is a homage. As with anything I write, I still may do a 360 and write something completely different.
