MY MOTHER TOLD ME TWO STORIES ABOUT UNCLE MARK.
NO. 1
He videotaped everything
with a camera his mother,
my grandmother, bought him for his eighteenth birthday:
dance battles,
gang fights, block parties.
But he dreamed of making a movie.
SCRIPT IDEA:
BOY: Mickey. No game. No girls. Meets
GIRL: Jesse, the young girlfriend of
BOY: Mickey’s landlord.
GIRL: Jesse teaches BOY: Mickey everything he needs to know about GIRL: How to impress them. How to treat them. But BOY: Mickey uses what he learns to get GIRL: Jesse to fall in love with him, but her boyfriend, BOY: Mickey’s landlord, finds out and kicks him and
GIRL: Jesse out of the building.
So they’re in love,
but they’re homeless, but they’re happy.
Right.
