Script 1

“Just a few more weeks and then you don’t have to deal with him ever again,” my makeup artist Mandy reminded me as we sat in the costume trailer between takes.

Since I’d set foot in British Columbia, Canada, and met Richard Brice he’d been a pompous arsehole. I was the Bonnie in the Bonnie and Clyde–style indie movie I’d signed on to as soon as the second season of Picture This ended. Picture This had been my big break. We’d started filming when I was nineteen and I’d moved down to London to do it.
