"The Frank: The Story, and The Script."
   
  Originally written in 1999 for a half-hour film, The Frank is about an abused, city derelic wannabe serial killer. The problem is that he's really not that good at it. Actually, he's very bad at it. But he's got heart.  
From rejected prom dates to schoolgirls, he's having a hell of a time finding his niche as one of the centuries most infamous boogeymen. He takes classses, talks to god, and even studies classic horror movies in his pursuit of the brass ring, or in this case the bloody ring.
  But, hey, don't hate him. As a matter of fact, don't even fear him. At least not yet.  
   
  The original script was far too un-flushed-out for feature length when shooting began at the end of February, 2003. Subsequently the script, plot, and depth of charachters are being actualized and realized often days before shooting. In most cases  
   
the dialouge is written by the actor and director on shoot dates. Actually, the majority of the dialouge is written by the actor solely on a brief desciption of the basic concept by the director. This is proving to be a dynamic and spontaneously executed production with a surprise around every corner. The dailies look great, and The Frank lives!
