Projector Holder Stump for gallery show at the end of the year.
My Dad and I started the first process of carving this log for my thesis. I plan to chisel out the center of it and place a projector to show the film. I will have more photos in mid December to showcase the carving process.

SCRIPT UPDATED DRAFT
Terrible People
Scene1:
A couple is hiking in
the mountains and an argument ensues.
Setting: A couple is hiking through the mountains. You see a montage of them
climbing over rocks and logs ect. A tree covers the cameras view and you now
see the couple sitting together by a large oak tree. There is a long silence of
cicadas and at last Ruby the female lead begins to speak.
Ruby: Aaaaaabe
why did you bring me here. I don’t have time for this I have so much work to
do. I have papers to grade and the oil needs to be changed in the car.
Abe: Were
having an adventure Ruby look at this map (shot of map) we go from my family
farm to Hobbs hardware past the old road trailer park and into the hidden
trail. (Shot of tree) To this very spot, right here where I carved our names in
this tree. I thought you would like it. (Shot of Tree then shot of the couple
standing next to the tree) This tree represents our future outside of this
town. Ive been meaning to ask you this for a long time. (gets down on his knee)
Ruby Victoria Wormwood will you …..
Ruby: Yes
Abe oh yes I will marry you!
Abe: Marry
you? I was going to ask if you would move out west with me. My brother has a
job waiting in San Francisco. (Gets up from knee)
Ruby: Move
out west? That wasn’t part of our plan. What am I supposed to tell the
elementary school, “I’m quitting and running away to California? That’s crazy
talk. How about we just take a vacation to Disneyworld.
Abe: Disney
world is in FLORIDA. I can’t take this anymore! I have no life here and this
town is killing me. (CUT TO SHOT OF HIS FARM HOUSE) Nobody ever leaves Thurmont
its cultural quicksand. You’re just stuck. The Moser’s have lived in Thurmont
forever. We have lived on the same road for 3 generations. We have been here
for so long they named the road after us. I LIVE ON MOSER ROAD AND ITS KILLING
ME!
Ruby: But
think about all the good times we had together. We made that monster movie and
raised that baby owl into adult hood. Think about all the friends we would
leave behind.
Abe: We
can make new friends in California. Cool celebrities and millionaire surfer
beach bums.
Ruby: I
don’t want to make new friends Abe
Abe: I’ve
worked to hard for this god dam it. It’s either this town or me! (Kicks tree)TREE FALLS ON ABES LEGS
Abe: Oh
god my legs help, I can’t feel my legs!
Ruby: Oh
no I cant handle this I cant handle this! There’s so much blood! This was not
in our five-year plan!
Abe: Quick
calls an ambulance I’m loosing a lot of blood!
Ruby: I
just think we are at different points in our lives right now.
Abe:
I need help, it hurts,
wait, what? , Are you breaking up with me?
Ruby: Its
not just about you Abe! (Runs away and
cries)
Abe: I’m
loosing blood fading fast. (Dies) (Raccoon
that was on his head leaves once Abe is dead.)
Scene2:
You see her car drive over a mountain range and
the sun goes down
You see a range of trees by a black road at
night.
You see her car drive past the road.
You see ruby crying in her car
You see the road and a sign that says Thurmont 2
miles
The raccoon from Abe’s head runs in front of the
car
Ruby veers to the left and
You see the edge of a cliff
Car goes over the edge
Cut to Black.

Terrible People
Scene1:
A couple returns
to a spot in the woods to recover the money they buried in the mountains because the male character doesn't trust banks.
Setting: A couple is hiking through the mountains. You see a montage of them
climbing over rocks and logs ect. A tree covers the cameras view and you now
see the couple sitting together by a large oak tree. There is a long silence of
cicadas and at last Abe the young man begins to speak.
Abe: Well
according to the map this is the spot where we buried it. (Gets up with a shovel
and moves stage left)
Ruby: I
don’t understand why you don’t trust banks? They are perfectly safe in town,
are you even sure its buried under this tree? We have a schedule to keep and
this is so unsafe. Are you even sure we are at the right spot?
Abe: Ruby
look at this map (shot of map) we go from my family farm to Hobbs hardware past
the old road trailer park and into the hidden trail. (Shot of tree) I buried my
life savings under the tree with our initials. (Grunting sound as he lifts a
large sack of money with the shovel). I can’t wait to get out of here and move
out west.
Ruby: Move
out west? That wasn’t part of our plan. I made a five-year plan and you said
you would marry me? I have a life here; I want our kids to have a life here.
What am I supposed to tell the elementary school, “I’m quitting and running
away to California?” I can’t abandon my students. I love you but this is ridiculous we can wait till the summer
when school is over to talk about this. How about we just take a vacation to
Disneyland.
Abe: (Abe stops digging) We have been over this Ruby. How many times do I
have to spell it out for you? I have no life here and this town is killing me.
(CUT TO SHOT OF HIS FARM HOUSE) Nobody ever leaves Thurmont its cultural
quicksand. You’re just stuck. The Moser’s have lived in Thurmont forever. we
have lived on the same road for 3 generations. We have been here for so long
they named the road after us. I LIVE ON MOSER ROAD AND ITS KILLING ME!
Ruby: But

leave behind.
Abe: We

beach bums.
Ruby: I
don’t want to make new friends Abe! This is too much change and I don’t like it.
I
Abe: I’ve
worked to hard for this god dam it. It’s either this town or me!(slams down
shovel and breaks branch.
Abe: Oh
god my legs help, I can’t feel my legs!
Ruby: Oh
no I cant handle this I cant handle this! There’s so much blood! This was not
in the five-year plan!
