Watch the 140 Character Short Story – BEYOND THE CONDIMENTS
Get to know writer Edward Case:
1) What is your very short story about?
It was a take on “boy meets girl.” I think we meet the most important people in our lives in the weirdest ways.
2) What motivated you to write this story and submit it to the festival?
I was grocery shopping and saw one of the market’s workers trying to contain a spill of broken pickle jars. I saw how people were detouring around him with their carts and going about their business. I thought, I just missed a story here. So I made a new one and entered it.
3) What movie have you seen the most in your life?
I’m not even sure, because I’ve watched so many. So it’s probably some older movie like Blade Runner, which I’ve watched a ton.
4) How many scripts and stories have you written?
Features and short stories, around 20. If you include shorts, it probably jumps up to 50.
5) What artists would you love to work with?
I’d love to work with Spike Jonze, David Fincher, or George Miller. Strong visual types with a touch of quirk. And, if he’d mentor me, Harlan Ellison.
6) What is your passion in life?
I love writing and filmmaking. They’ve filled my dreams since I was a kid. Pure fun.
7) Any tips for other writers who want to write a 140 character short story?
Life is full of tiny stories. You can find them if you keep your eyes open.
