Situations for film about marriage falling apart
Hey everyone,
My name is Marv, and I come from a family where my parents still live together, but are not really together anymore. They either argue about financial struggles or about how they no longer treat each other romantically like they used to, or they avoid each other completely.
Sometimes I feel like they might find more happiness individually, but they seem stuck in uncertainty and in what they once had.
As a film student, I am writing a screenplay, and together with a team I am working hard on preparing our graduation film, in which I want to explore why sometimes it might be better for both people to go their separate ways. It is a personal story about a married couple slowly growing apart, yet despite everything, they remain together until they are ultimately forced to make a choice.
To help me create a message that resonates with people who are going through or have experienced a similar situation, I was wondering if anyone has ideas or suggestions about what couples might be dealing with in these situations that I could use as inspiration for the screenplay.
tl;dr Also, if anyone wishes to support in another way, we have launched a crowdfunding campaign. If you are able to contribute anything, it would truly mean a lot to us. Even just spreading the word would help tremendously.
