Skeeter Brown

So i got this cool idea, me and Kimani at work.

..... we are gonna shoot a movie!

I want it to be like one of those dry comedy inexpensive independent movies, like Napolean Dynamite, Juno, and SuperBad, but with an urban african american twist.


So far its gonna revolve around this 17 year old kid named Skeeter Brown. He's a junior in high school and is a total retard geek, that thinks he's cooler than he really is, he believes that his whole life is gonna change and his problems with girls and his looks will disappear when he turns 18 in a couple of months. He has two best friends, a girl named Mahogany Maple Brown, a cute, sensitive poet, who is always crying when someone hurts her feelings, and is in and out of love, and Belly Davis, a 'partial' high school drop out that is always smoking weed. Though he wants to go to school, he never does because his boss at a local Pet Store always schedules him during school hours. (Yeah its illegal)

Now Belly's half sister, Girlene, is a super popular party planner/promoter, and they are pretty wealthy too. One day when skeeter comes over to Belly's house in the rain to hang out his sister answers the door , and tells him he's at work, but he'll be back in like 10 minutes, so she lets him in and he waits for Belly. He over hears an argument between Girlene and her boyfriend, who then storms out of the house. Girlene comes down stairs crying and so on, and Skeeter then begins to talk to her, and console her while she constantly drinks and crys.

Long story short, they start kissing and she seduces him and eventually they begin to have inter course. Abrubtly, she gets off of him, and tells him that he better not tell anyone about it or she'll cut off his balls not even her brother. and he says that he's gonna tell everybody at school unless she helps throw him a birthday party... she agrees.

So, the next day,mahogany asks skeeter why he's so happy, and he then tells her he had lost his virginity and asks her to promise not to tell any one. Belly finds out because he left his macbook in the family room (where girlene and skeeter had sex) and it recorded everything... though he is nonchalant about it.

Mahogany meets this guy named Vladmir on myspace, and they go to the movies. Vladmir is also a big glasses wearing dude, reallly shy and skinny,. Mahogany decides to go on a date with him, but asks Belly and Skeeter to follow them just in case he's a total weirdo. This is when a random guy walks up to mahogany and asks can he feel her hair, and she says yeah, he gets really obsessive and intimate with it. Vladmir does nothing, while Skeeter and Belly laugh. The guy says, thanks, and just walks off.

The next day Mahogany is walking to a store when she sees Girlene and her three friends, Letasha and Jaquisha, and Zipporah. They make some sort of smart ass remark to her, and she hesitates, and replies back to girlene saying something about the incident between her and Skeeter. Girlene and her three friends, all start to fight mahogany.

So Mohagany, all beat up and stuff, calls skeeter and belly and tells him what happened. That is when they find out that belly knew that he had sex with his sister all along. Skeeter is mad at mahogany because now he has no help with getting people to come to his party, and stops talking to Belly and her.

So in a couple of days, mahogany and belly decides to plan skeeters party. And goes out of their way trying to get supplies and so on.

In the end, no one comes to his party, and it is just the three of them at their hangout with party hats, but this satisfies Skeeter. And thats the end.

Yeah yeah yeah I know its very sporadic, in fact, I just made all this stuff up off of my head while writing this blog. I will fill it up and works, and since I have this new Macbook Pro, I already have Final Cut Pro, which is the top of the line video editing software from apple. Now all I really need is two cameras. Im looking at buying two of the Canon HV20's when I get the money, because for the price the video;'s are amazing and it is all HD. Check it out... I attached a video recorded with this camera.
