****Janelle Evans’s screenplay Jude Cole is #188 in the never-ending series called INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION where the Chris Rice Cooper Blog (CRC) focuses on one specific excerpt from a fiction genre and how that fiction writer wrote that specific excerpt.  All INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION links are at the end of this piece

Name of screenplay? And were there other names you considered that you would like to share with us? Jude Cole. One of the other names that I'd considered for this story is The Father's Son, because of the relationship between Jude and the priest.

What is the date you began writing this screenplay and the date when you completely finished the piece of fiction? October 2014.  I wrote the screenplay in sixteen hours.  However I then spent two months refining it.  I think of it like baking bread, prep time:  sixteen hours, completed product: four hundred twelve hours and thirteen minutes.  Don’t forget those minutes, they really matter to me.

Where did you do most of your writing? And please describe in detail.  When I’m working on a project I literally write everywhere.  There are no spare minutes in my day.  At the grocery store I prop my laptop up where other people put their children, typing while the butcher wraps my order, the honey goes and grabs various items, and definitely while waiting in the cashier’s line.  The only place that’s taboo, for me, is the bathroom.  My favorite place to write is the library. (Lied Library, Above Left, and Below Right) Most of them still have an inherent “silence is golden” rule, and people don’t just wander p to you and ask what you’re doing.

What were your writing habits while writing this screenplay - did you drink something as you wrote, listen to music, write in pen and paper, directly on laptop; specific time of day?  As soon as I opened my eyes, I ran over to work on the screenplay.  When I’m stay home, I prefer to work on my pc.  The screen is huge, the keyboard is soft and comfortable, and when I’m working this way it feels like my most natural state of being.  As I cannot take the pc everywhere, I do switch to my laptop.  Not to leave out pen and paper, when I need to rearrange the story in my mind, work out a new potential new outline, etcetera, I always use pen and ink. Then I can doodle in questions or other random thought sin color.  The paperwork is always brightly colored and terrifically messy, because screenplays themselves have to be so linear and clean.      

I create a soundtrack for each piece of fiction that I work on, giving each character a particular song that represents their voice and drive in my head.  This keeps me writing consistent, particularly over a long period time.  (Left: Janelle Evans's desk)

What were some of the songs you liked to listen to while you wrote this screenplay?  Stevie Wonder, “I Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer”  

Fall Out Boy, “Centuries”  

Breaking Benjamin, “Had Enough”  

Skillet, “Not Gonna Die”  

Zack Hemsey, “Vengeance”  

U2, “With or Without You”  (Right: Janelle in her writing space.)

What is the summary of your screenplay? Jude Cole is an orphan, raised in a battered women’s shelter by the priest who runs it.  HE’s got a good heart and an incredible knack for violence, which he’s got no problem using to right the wrongs done to anyone that he perceives as defenseless.  The trouble is, when you see yourself as soulless, fighting the good fight isn’t too different from suicide.

Please include just one excerpt.  This one excerpt can be as short or as long as you prefer.

EXT. HOPE HOUSE BACKYARD - NIGHT

Cynthia sways in the tire swing and smokes. She jumps when a tree limb crashes to the ground. Jude clambers down the tree.

CYNTHIA

What were you doing up there?

He lifts the neatly sawed branch in one hand.

JUDE

When kids fall, it’s almost never their fault.

CYNTHIA

Really? Who else do you blame?

JUDE

The weak branch that broke, when it should’ve been supporting them.

Cynthia glares at him.

CYNTHIA

Is that some kind of metaphor? You smart-ass teenager. You think you know everything, don’t you?

JUDE

I know that you packed your bags before dinner. I know that Matt’s temper tantrum didn’t make you change your mind.

She laughs sarcastically.

CYNTHIA

That’s what you saw. But you have no clue about what’s underneath. How sometimes you eat dirt, on your knees, to keep people you love safe.

Why is this excerpt so emotional for you as a writer to write?  And can you describe your own emotional experience of writing this specific excerpt? *and humor is one of many emotions.  As this scene goes forward we learn that Jude things of himself as soulless, a person worth less than the women and children at Hope House, the battered women’s shelter. The feel of the tension between this motherless boy, and this mother who is struggling to find the right way to protect her own boy, pulls at me every time.  In the real world, right and wrong are rarely completely separate entities, and writing this scene just tugged at all of my sensibilities.  What is fair?  What is just?  How can we break a boy’s heart by keeping him away from his father?  How do we expect a woman to remain in contact with her abuser?  And what does the child in the middle learn from all of this?

Were there any deletions from this excerpt that you can share with us? And can you please include a photo of your marked-up rough drafts of this excerpt. The scene was rewritten dozens of times.  Unfortunately, I don't’ retain rough drafts.  Remember that thing above about colorful en and paper doodles to work out issues?  Those changes fall under that.  Once I pick the language of the scene, I change the draft, save it, and that’s the end.

Has this screenplay been made into a film? And if NOT which actors would you like to portray your characters in this screenplay? Sadly, it has not been made into a movie, although it did place as a second rounder at the Austin Film Festival.  So, yay for that.  I don’t have a particular actor in mind. If it were cast, I’d us tope that the actor would be someone who could fully inhabit the role, and portray Jude as someone who’s struggling with a deep sense of worthlessness, and not as some cool street thug.

How many pages?  What does that equate to how long the film would be? Jude Cole was initially one hundred and twenty pages.  The final count was a tidy one hundred pages, which is about one hour and forty minutes of screen time.

Anything you would like to add? Than you for giving me the opportunity do discuss my work.  It was truly a pleasure to gab about my process.  Cheers.

Janelle Marie Evans is a woman of color who lives in the Sonoran desert with five PC’s, three laptops, two televisions, and one best friend. She is a graduate of the UNLV MFA in Writing for Dramatic Media, and is currently working on multiple film scripts, and a young adult novel and was thrilled to place in the top ten percent of an Austin Film Festival, and the top five percent of the Oscar’s Academy Nicholl Fellowship competition.
