Sparkling Object By D.B. Gilles
Provided by www.tribecacitizen.com
I’ve written about D.B. Gilles (personal friend, mentor, teacher, and scriptwriter) before; talking about his blog which helps screenwriters who have lost faith in their story to regain some form of motivation, and above all, a jump start to keep their script rolling. However, I have yet to talk about his screenwriting work. Sparkling Object, written by D.B. Gilles which opened in a new theater in New York City, is hands-down my favorite play I have ever seen. With quite a simple cast and set design, D.B Gilles manages to take the audience on an exhilarating ride through the lives of a college professor and his problem-child. Facing deceit and lies, the almost non-existent relationship between a father and daughter is put to the test. It just comes to show how important the story is, and how, no matter what equipment or how much money you have, as long as you have a good story, it can be successful. Film Tips and Tutorials is coming out with a new episode in the near future which will cover screenwriting as a whole. So stay tuned for that.
On a side note, D.B. Gilles is coming out with a book on how to write comedy. If any of you are interested, stay posted, we’ll have more information later!
