In the process of coming up with an idea for a story, I asked myself what my strengths are. I knew that I wanted to write about something close to my heart, something I had experience with. I soon realized that I’m good at putting my thoughts and feelings into words and that I’m not afraid to show myself vulnerable. I therefore wasn’t worried about revealing too much about my personal life and past experiences.
Writing the actual script was a long process. The most challenging part was to convey this constraining feeling of loneliness and frustration Mia feels during the first couple of scenes. It was also harder than expected to convey my message with metaphorical images.
