Grace Blevins Backstory
CREATIVE PROMPT
Grace Blevins, a distinguished flight officer hailing from a small town in Georgia, stands as a testament to ambition and perseverance in the face of unjust hardship. Despite holding two degrees from MIT and having rapidly ascended the ranks of NASA due to her talents as a flight officer, her journey is marked by a complex relationship with her family. To them, her academic and professional achievements aren't a source of pride but a rejection of their parochial values and lifestyle in rural Georgia.
But somehow, amidst all of this intolerance from her family, Grace established a deep sense of agency to realize her dreams.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
You can submit any piece of written content that conveys your vision for the character, including but not limited to:
- Fully formed short script
- Outline or treatment
- Bullet points
- Short hand prose
Feel free to also add any relevant portfolio content, if applicable.
This Co/Create is catered to writers of all levels and is designed to take less than an hour of your time to complete a submission.
We are looking for submissions that are original and creative, show a clear vision for the character, and align with the existing world of THE DISCO BALL world and lore.
FINAL DELIVERABLES
The winning submission will be translated into a short script by the writer, and be:
- English language
- 3-5 pages
- First-person narration written in the voice of Grace Blevins
HOW IT WORKS
Interested writers should submit their Grace backstory concept in the written format of their choosing.
Our creative team will evaluate all submissions based on the factors outlined in the submission guidelines, selecting the winning writer and a short list of runner ups who will receive Profit Points for their work.
The winning writer will work with the creative team to revise their submission and turn it into a fully fleshed out short script detailing Grace’s backstory.
Once finalized, the script will be used as a prompt for additional Co/Create opportunities that will build off of the backstory concept in the realms of illustrating, acting, music and more, depending on the creative demands of the script.
Once the necessary additional Co/Creates have been completed, the fully-fledged short visual story will be integrated into the core narrative of THE DISCO BALL as a Story Branch (just like the Marcus Rhoder backstory).
Writer will be appropriately credited and recognized for their contributions.
