Mr. Buttons - 1st Draft Completed

Posted on 4 May, 2006 in Mr. Buttons

I have completed the first draft of the Mr. Buttons screenplay. I have always been a fan of scary clown dolls, so now it’s my turn to take a stab at it - heh heh heh - yes, the pun was intended. If you’ve seen my porn flick Clown Porn: The Movie, then you know how crazy and creepy I like my clowns to be! Fans of Slaughter Disc will have to hold their breath a little longer for the Splatter Porn to ooze under their fingernails.

Right now I don’t foresee this film really having any sexual overtones. Sure, I could force in a fuck scene and a gratuitous tit shot for you to jerk off with, but what would I really be accomplishing?

I originally wanted this project to be a silent black and white film, but after the first draft of the script was completed I realized I had yet again created a great new character to entertain you with. A five-minute silent film may look creepy, but personally I have a very hard time with this short film crap - I’m going to shoot for a 30 minute festival version and maybe go a little longer for the directors cut. Fuck, it’s just words on paper as of right now, so it will be interesting to see how this monster grows.

My biggest problem with writing short films always happens when I type “The End” and I still have a million ideas swirling around in my head - usually this is the point in time when I say “Fuck it, let’s make it a feature” then I look at the bank account and it’s near null balance helps reinforce the notion in my skull that it’s best to stick to shorts right now.
