Conversations Past Midnight
nathan t esser for Ron Wells
The founder of The Grapevine. He's a jolly, somewhat overweight man from a rich background, but he's a good person. He loves his family, and as the events of the script transpire, he grows increasingly desperate to see them again.
The Grapevine is a work in progress right now, but the general concept of it is to have it be an annual event, probably occurring on Halloween, in which participants gather together dressed exactly the same and wearing the same mask. The goal will be to keep yourself anonymous in a crowd of strangers, and to listen in to peoples’ conversations. You can use your anonymity to confess to your deepest darkest secrets, which will be the main goal of the event, but, see, there’s a catch.
How brave!
(begging) Look, I--I just want to go home! I have a wife and daughter! I have a family!
