Roni’s ROM COM project.

Who is She?
unnamed is fun, loving, hardworking, approaches the subject of looking for love with a healthy attitude, but unsuccessful, and runs into a variety of ill equipped people
Who is He? He is a loving yet distrusting person, who has been through a variety of heartbreaks and failures. He wants to have love and to keep it, but goes through life not understanding what that requires.
What makes them lovable?
both want love, but also not understanding what stands in their way – her immaturity in giving up concepts of “movie-love”, and his inability to understand that love isn’t going to define him, just offer joy.
What attracts them to each other? they know each other from a distant past, so familiarity makes them feel safe.
What needs does each fulfill for the other? He makes her own up to what she needed to bring to her past relationships – responsibility, accountability, and she helps him see that she couldn’t have been enough to make them happy as a couple in the past and that he needed to enrich his inner world – they both fix what caused their past relationship to fail and get reacquainted as the mature versions of themselves. both deserving and also now capable of love.

What I learned most in this assignment is the great attention to detail to put both of them in a place of deserving love, and growingly need to earn it. the earning as the process that is what they go through. The earning process becomes my focus of attention – the physiological journey of the characters.

Two People Who Belong Together: Two exes not from New York, end up living in NYC, reconnecting to survive in the city socially.
How Are They Separated: They are exes, and it ended badly – both know they aren’t a match romantically – both afraid of big things, similar in fears.
What Forces Them together: dating in NYC is so brutal, that they lean on the friendship
Issues to be Resolved: their immaturity and definition of love changes in this journey
On Their Journey of Love: They redefine love, belonging, caring, and hash the past problems .

What I learned in the last class is how each character has to have a character flaw that the other naturally offers the solution to, and how both journies have to complete one another,
