This is a monologue I wrote for a short film I am in the process of producing titled, "Lovers & Dancers." It closes out the film. Out of context, I believe it has life, but obviously it ties into the theme of the film.
Male, Mid-20's
Approx. 2 min
I love it here. Julia was right. This is exactly what I needed. It feels nice to take a break from thinking and then think again. You need time to miss your old friend. Your inner thoughts... I guess I never took the time to really analyze what I was doing or why I was doing it. Right now, I have this feeling I used to feel when we would drive to Pittsburgh to see my Dad's Family. I would fall asleep in the back of the van and suddenly
wake up in a brand new place. I missed the journey, but liked where it got me... I love it here. I thought that if I left my home, where the pain was, I'd feel better. But the pain followed me. Which is okay, because my Father's Legacy followed me too. His passion, his love... That all stays with me. In a way, I'm living out
his legacy by being alive. It's kinda like when someone records a cover of someone else's song. They are paying homage to the legacy of the original artist, but doing it in their own unique way. Does that make any sense? I'm probably talking too much. Anyway. I love it here.
