The Seven Stages of Grief, The Musical!

[IEditYourWorld]

Hi all.

Just so that you all know, I love video. I have a passion for the stuff, and being able to create something visually stunning with my own bare hands is an amazing feeling. For the past almost three years, I have been doing this with weddings, and while I adore that, I'm in the mood to try something kind of different.

While talking to some friends, I have come up with an idea for a zombie movie. I am wanting to make it a dark comedy based on the seven stages of grief, and I like the idea of making it a musical a lot like Repo, the Genetic Opera.

In this, our protagonist loses everything. That being her job, her boyfriend, her home, everything. Of course, when worst comes to worst, you always have your health, right? Well, in this case, not so much.

In the first act, our protagonist is found very ill on a park bench and brought to a hospital where she goes through the seven stages of grief as she transforms from a miserable human being into a monster. If you are not familiar with the seven stages of grief, they are Shock or Disbelief, Denial, Bargaining, Guilt, Anger, Depression, and Acceptance and Hope.

In the second act, the final stage of grief, that being Acceptance and Hope, will really come into play as our protagonist accepts and even relishes in her new fate. She takes it as an opportunity to enact revenge upon those who have hurt her and made her life miserable, and in a very karmatic fashion. She may be dead, but that doesn't mean she's stupid!

I would love feedback on this idea from you guys. Can you think of ways to make it better? Is this a good idea or not?

Any feedback will be helpful.

Way to give yourself a hard project!

I think this would be a very difficult angle to cover, however providing through song will que the viewer in better then say having to gain clues of the message through actions.

How long have you been planning on putting this together?

The idea is still fairly new, and I've been writing it for weeks. I've also been looking to recruit musicians to help create the soundtrack. I'll have some people help me proofread the script and help me with putting music in proper places, and then we location scout. I also have someone who has been networking a lot who can help us in distributing. After that, getting all our behind the scenes talent will be our next project. Once that's done, we cast, then film, then edit, then do a screening, then distribute.

So much to do!
