What did you like about this script?
I really like the concept of this script and the manner in which the writer unfolds the story. I also liked that the writer chose to leave minor clues in the character reaction when Ikesha, Shan, and Kay were around each other. Likewise, I thought it was smart the way the writer was able to keep Ikesha’s perspective of the entire situation in the foreground of the script from the beginning to the end.
With stories like these, it can be difficult to grab and hold an audience’s attention and keep it only on the story being told and not on the obvious things that are not being said or asked in the script. The script’s psychological manipulation forces the protagonist, Ikesha, and the audience to see past what is happening in front of them and focus on what the characters are saying or their reactions to Ikesha’s behavior.

I was extremely pleased with the writer’s decision to have Ikesha realize the truth in enough time to stop Paul on page 104. It demonstrates her character growth and it opens up the emotional door that Ikesha’s character needs to venture through to face her past and herself.
Lastly, I liked the secondary message that the script shines light on in regards to reality TV and social media on page 108. These two mediums are, as the writer puts it “cousins” in the sense that that they sensationalize brutality, cruelty, and outlandish behavior all for the sake of ‘putting on a good show’ and being noticed. It is a miserably common fact about our society’s rising need to become important, famous even, through the hollow validation of strangers.
