How it's all connected...

Explanation:
This piece is about a girl who went out to search for her siblings that she had never met from her fathers side whom she had also never met. Upon finding them she actually met up with one which was her sister (the other 2 brothers wanted nothing to do with her). They instantly clicked as if they knew each other their whole lives and no time was ever lost. They drank, partied, told each other things they had never told anyone else, they were best friends and the girl felt as if a huge hole had been filled in her life. Then after some time the girl stopped getting responses from her sister, and eventually came to realize something was wrong, for whatever reason her sister just cut her out almost completely with no reason why, she just vanished. This really took a toll on the girl and caused her to feel lost and confused how could she have finally found her sister and clicked so well just for her to be gone again. This went on for a long time, her reaching out to her and her sister never responding, except on completely random occasions she would remind her that she loved and missed her. This made coping with it even harder for the girl and made her feel completely insane about the situation. She began thinking maybe she pushed to hard, but she didn't it was her sister who came up with all of these grand plans that they could do together, travel, work together, live together etc... make up for lost time. This fact left her even more lost. 

How it all connects:
 The piece as a whole is about the emotions felt by the girl about the time that is ticking away as she hopes and waits for her sister to return into her life. I am the girl. The memories are memories I have with my best friend (my sister). The doc side will focus on the emotions that people feel when being rejected by their siblings. One person that will be interviewed actually has a very similar story to mine and her interview will play a major role in tying it all together. The doc side will help to express the longing that the girl is feeling for her sister (in the memories) by sharing other peoples similar stories and emotions; and the live action of the girl (representing me) will literally show the longing, the agony, the pain, and the feeling of being trapped in the situation and not being able to let it go no matter how hard she tries, and how it is literally driving her insane. 


The editing of the Doc material will be crucial to making it all link together. Basically my story will be told thru the stories of others.
