Brandyn Cross’ Emotional Moments.
My vision for success in this program is to develop and hone my skills to the extent that my screenplays will be produced and widely viewed.
What I learned from this assignment is a means of putting the characters through experiences that elicit emotional reactions from the audience based upon their life experiences.
ACT 1
Distress / Shock: Alex intentionally drives his car full speed into an overpass pylon in a suicide attempt.
Wounds: As Alex recovers, he is despondent and negative over a series of misfortunes which have befallen him.
Emotional Dilemma: Alex starts having psychic experiences and ghostly visitations, something he has never experienced before. It’s not something he is happy about.
Betrayal: 10-year-old Sandy tries to befriend Alex, but he rejects the boy.
Wound: As Sandy tries to convince Alex to use his new psychic powers to help ghost children, Alex refuses. He says if he were to connect with a ghost child, it would be with his own deceased son, not with some ghost stranger.
ACT 2
Bonding: Despite Alex’s attempts to ignore Sandy and Rorie, deep down he is taken by the ghost children and wants to help them.
Distress: Angel helps Alex see more detail about his accident. He sees a boy get out of one of the cars that had stopped to help, and run across the road, stopping midway, with a terrified expression.
Moral Issue: Sandy convinces Alex to write Rorie’s book, but his family rejects it. Sandy is determined to convince them, but Alex doesn’t care, until he realizes that without their acceptance, his memories of his son are fading. He then becomes obsessed with convincing Rorie’s family to believe him.
Success/Winning: As Alex remembers more about the grave, Sandy becomes convinced that Alex will regain total recall, and fulfill Sandy’s wish to be reunited in heaven with his dad.
Love: As Alex and Sandy succeed in helping Rorie and his family gain closure relating to Rorie’s death, Alex has a genuine change of heart, and becomes obsessed with helping the ghost children and their families.
ACT 3
Breakthrough: Alex feels true peace of mind in helping the ghost children and their families, and even accepts the chance that a heavenly reunion with his own son may have to wait. Meanwhile Sandy, who had led Alex to this point, is more conflicted, now becoming the impatient one regarding this reunion.
Excitement: When Alex is introduced to Beth, he is impatient to write her book and get another fill of pure joy. His new obsession with selfless service replaces the obsession he previously had with the self-centered revival of his career.
Hidden Weakness: Alex becomes over confident and egotistical as he glories in taking credit for the benefits of his psychic abilities. This blinds him to red flags signaling serious problems within the families of the ghost children.
Moral Issue / Distress / Shock: Alex is devastated upon learning that Rose has committed suicide after receiving Beth’s book. He refuses to use his powers anymore for the ghost children, and tells Sandy to leave him alone.
Betrayal / Wounds: Sandy is crushed by Alex’s rejection of him and tells Angel he can’t do this anymore. He refuses her suggestion to try to encourage Alex to keep going.
ACT 4
Sacrifice: Beth and Angel show Sandy and Alex that Rose was destined to commit suicide no matter what happened but, without their intervention, it would have been much worse. Alex and Sandy were forced into a no-win situation because, without them, she would also have killed her husband and kids.
Courage: Alex and Sandy agree to resume working with the ghost children, and are introduced to Kody. Alex remembers more about his accident, and thinks he recognizes Kody as the kid in the road.
Surprise / Love: As Alex finishes Kody’s book, he and Sandy realize that Angel is Kody’s mother, and the book was necessary to help Kody cross over and be reunited with her. Only then do they realize the magnitude of the work they’ve been doing with the ghost children.
Surprise / Bonding: Kody and Angel thank Alex, and say they forgive him. Rorie, Beth and Rose then appear, also saying they forgive Alex, at which point Sandy reveals to Alex that this has all been a journey of forgiveness, and all that’s left is for Alex to forgive himself.
Surprise / Distress: Alex now remembers everything. He realizes he has been dead the whole time, and that he was responsible for the ghost childrens’ deaths. Sandy begs him to accept everyone’s forgiveness, and forgive himself, so they can be reunited in heaven, but Alex is too consumed with guilt to do it.
Wounds / Love: Angel places Alex face to face with Jesus and tells him to lay his sins at His feet, and accepts His forgiveness. Alex does and, with the weight of his guilt relieved, he is able to begin forgiving himself, and accepting the forgiveness of those he had wronged, including Sandy.
Love / Success/Winning: Sandy is finally allowed to reunite with Alex as father and son, and are able to enter Heaven together.

KZ’s Emotional Moments
Vision: To master screenwriting so that I can write excellent screenplays and help them get made into memorable movies.
Doing this assignment, I learned a little bit more about my story; and I also was reminded that emotions in a comedy are topsy-turvy – which is a major source of humor.
Positive emotions
Winning: Wendy manages to get the place in the meditation class… by destroying one of her co-workers and taking his place in the class.
Bonding: Wendy and Darwin laugh when a fellow panelist suggests that negotiations should reach a solution where both sides win. To them, that’s ridiculous.
Bonding? (Also points to their wounds): As panelists at a Negotiators convention, Wendy and Darwin demonstrate their techniques for psyching out their opponents
Winning: Wendy bribes Darwin’s mother, and in exchange she gets the secret to advanced meditation.
Surprise: Darwin thinks he’s outsmarted his mother’s arranged marriage plans by telling her he’s gay; but then she finds Gary, a suitable man for him to marry (who meets her criteria)
Courage: Darwin had always wanted to become a negotiator to prevent suicides (but his mother wouldn’t let him because there was more money in Mergers & Acquisitions). Now he gets his chance on the train to Nirvana when one of the monks realizes he’s not going to make it to total consciousness, and Darwin talks him off the ledge (Wendy tries to “help” and just makes things worse.)
Winning: Back in reality, in the negotiation, Wendy and Darwin go for the solution that allows both sides to win.
Love: Darwin is finally going to be able to stand up to his mother and tell her he’s marrying Wendy… when they find that the mother has left on a cruise with Gary (the man she intended him to marry).
Negative emotions
Distress: Wendy drives men away, even at the 1-minute dating event. She even drives her therapist crazy with her constant need to turn everything into an argument and to win.
Distress: Darwin’s mother wants him to sacrifice his life so that she will be taken care of in her old age. Darwin feels himself being guilted into it.
Betrayal: Wendy got all of the best gear to ace meditation… and then Myra has everyone shift onto their neighbor’s cushion to avoid Spiritual Materialism
Wounds: Wendy and Darwin are unable to come to terms over a proposed one-night-stand, and so each wind up alone
Betrayal: Wendy gets Darwin to tell her secrets about the upcoming negotiation, and then she uses that information to win… which leads to …
Emotional Dilemma: she can continue on in the dream where she’s winning the most important negotiation of her life, or she can get back on the train to Nirvana with Darwin.
Sacrifice: Wendy chooses to go back to the train rather than return to reality without Darwin.
