The Story Girl burns to entertain.
Yes. Story Girl is slightly autobiographical, just like all the other stories I've penned. But only slightly.
Tracy Johnston was incredibly fun to create; her perspective kept my jaw on the floor for most of the time. She is deeply determined but equally insecure - an insecurity born of a history of rejection in the film biz.
Tracy is sharp and quirky, and possesses a biting, often self-deprecating sense of humour. She is overstressed, confused, and prone to meltdown. But her ambition to tell interesting stories keeps her on secure footing - no matter how much she may seem to sway.
Story Girl explores the dynamics of epic dualities: family vs. ambition; roles vs. individuality; and expectation vs. reality. It's up to our flawed heroine to traverse such daunting chasms. And we - the sacred audience - get to experience in her often wild attempts at trying to bridge those gaps.

I enjoyed watching Katherine Carlson's interview on The Luisa Marshall Show. You may enjoy watching it too.
