Now or Never (2011) - A short film about family relationships

Vivandy Productions  Director: Vivandy and F.C Rabbath  Written and Produced: F.C. Rabbath Synopsis: Its about 3 generations of women; the grandmother, mother and daughter. The same story is being repeated between grandmother and mother as well as mother and daughter. Each mother is trying to reconnect with her daughter; both being unsuccessful. What intrigued me:  Showing the mother getting prepared (I'm planning on doing something like that for my video)  portrayal of family drifting (arguing about being too busy for each other)  when she opens the bathroom cupboard when she's young and closes it when she's old (i like the technique it uses to show time passing)  having the same conversation with her daughter as she did with her mother  the way we are shown that there is an issue (phone call from doctor)  VO flashback to the same line she said her mother 'You're being selfish' = realisation ...

Creator of Black-ish : Kenya Barris D.O.B: 9.08.1974 California  Best Known for: Black-ish, Girls Trip, The Game  Brief Synopsis of Black-ish:  A family man struggles to gain cultural identity, as he raises his kids in a predominantly white, upper class neighbourhood. The sitcom has a familiar trope "fish out of water" to address unique experience. Similarly with my sitcom, its about a race trying to fit into a specific culture. Kenya Barris on writing: When I was researching how Barris writes he gets his motivation to write from advice from Stephen Kings book 'On Writing', where King suggests that you should write a little it everyday at the same time in the same place. That way you program your mind to want to write even on the day when you can't be bothered. Do anything you can to free your mind and find inspiration wether its playing a video game, going to the movies or just driving around i your car. https://www.lafilm.edu/blog/kenya-barris-...

Family: Family is very important in Greek society; either by blood or even marriage - when a relative marries someone that person becomes your koumbaro (for men) or koumbara (for women). Also, businesses are usually family run.  Food:  One of the most important things in Greek culture; famous Mediterranean food. Greek love to use fresh ingredients such as garlic, onions, fennel, zucchini, grapes, dates, figs and herbs (dill, mint and oregano). Meat is also a very important part of their diet; every Sunday families gather together for Souvla (basically a barbecue)  Food in tavernas are usually meze based meaning a variety of small portions of different types of food is served (usually over 20 different dishes) or there is also the famous Ouzeri where you are brought typically light food such as greek sasuges (pastourma) and halloumi to eat as you drink Ouzo.  Typical Greek Cypriot food:  tzantziki octopus dolmades (which is grape leaves f...
