First Attempt – Ben Welton

A Winter of Itself

The beginning.

Opening scene: Charlie will be packing his Subaru to go back down to his child hood home. He has a long drive from Sugarloaf mt to his northern Mass town. He had to request time off from work as a ski instructor. His father is deathly sick and he has to go spend time with him. Many emotions are flowing through Charlie at this point of his life.

**from here the user will have to rewind back to a prior moment of the family.

Rewind back:

1.Graduation University of Maine 2012

Graduation:

This will show the true happiness that family once had. There will be a family photo of both boys with the diplomas. This was the last time all four of them had been they were before they were forever changed. I am going to describe the parents relationships and how the boys were planning on taking separate paths after graduation.

**from here the next interactivity will be to meet Jack.

Meet Jack:

I want to describe jack as he is. Fully show him getting out of work as a long day as an intern at a law firm on Commonwealth ave in Boston. Jack is trying to make a name for himself in the financial world, he is pursuing a dream of a desk job wearing a suit everyday. Jack wants to symbolize the American dream in every way.

**From here the user will move to a screen showing the crazy amounts of snow that have been building up all over the northeast. It will describe the troubles Jack is having at work and how much success Charlie is having on the mountain.

This next scene will be very tragic:

I want to describe the last time Charlie was with his mother. They got into a terrible car accident on their way up to sugarloaf. Jack has never forgiven Charlie for this.

**I want the story to keep this flow with interactivity and continuously working backwards filling in information about the boys. Until they meet at their dying fathers bed and are expected to make a decision.
