Description: There is no script for ‘The Trail’, never has been. Our project is approximately 50% outline and 50% improvisation. We created a storytelling template, and we are creating characters to exist in this story with the help of talented, local actors. ‘The Trail’ is a short, twisty, supernatural story that combines complex, selfish characters and philosophical dialogue to tell a story about ethics and the way human beings rationalize selfish, evil deeds done to each other. So far there are ten episodes planned. Each episode involves a local hiking trail and is full of dramatic events and wretched characters seeking to destroy one another and seeking to escape the mental, physical, and spiritual prisons they are trapped within. https://www.facebook.com/groups/pleasantproductions
