I am currently working on a screenwriting project with the working title of 'Katie's Sectioning' The plot is centered around the female lead, Katie, who is assaulted by staff on a psychiatric ward. She then has charges of assault pressed against her by the staff whom attacked her. The plot follows Katie fighting the charges against her, as well as fighting for justice.
A lot of the story is based on my own experiences with mental illness and psychiatric hospital;s; I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and have been sectioned on four different occasions in the past four years.
I'm still in the stages of pre-writing, but it's getting to the point where I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Full scenes are starting to appear in my head. I will keep you updated of where I'm at with this project. Hopefully, one day I will see it made into a film.
Fingers crossed, eh!
Take care.
