POST 10: Script

This is my brainstorm that I have created for ideas for the script

Task 2: Writing your short film script.

Billy is trying to cope with his non-existent relationship with his mother and coping at school with the teachers and the uncomfortable life he is in. When it becomes too much Billy has only one area of comfort but when he hears news that changes everything will this area of comfort be enough for him to cope.

Billy a 12 year old school boy is not coping. He has an non-existent relationship with his mother ans the teachers at school. his only place of comfort is sitting under one of the stairs at school. But when he hears news that changes everything will this area of comfort for be enough to make everything seem cope able.
