Want to read screenplays? Here is a link to a free book with 9 short scripts of diverse genres. The first, After The Silence, is the sad and melodramatic story of a woman who speaks out about the abuse she experiences in her home, but no one believes her. It is set in a small town of Uganda, and can be read as a handbook of what a victim of domestic violence would go through to get justice in a such a place.

The second screenplay in this collection, which is free to download until the end of this month, is titled Under Sarah's Bed, and is set in the classic, perhaps cliche, genre of a monster under the bed. It was a script written to learn the basics of filmmaking, and you can laugh at the film here https://tv.dilstories.com/w/c8W7M9NxC5yNZab7EHEHGP

The third #screenplay in this free ebook lends the collection its name, and is a story that started with the title. Home Is A Fine Place To Die. I asked myself what kind of tale would fit such a poetic line, and ended up with the drama of a family who are tired of becoming refugees every time they hear a gunshot; their husband and father wants to keep fleeing, though home might be the safest place!

Angels in the Sun Beam is the story of a 10yr old girl and her plot to take her older brother, who is bedridden with a severe disability, to school. It is a sweet story, with a happy ending for the both children, and if the film is ever made perhaps it will bring a tear or two to your face.

Next #screenplay is Her Fearing Friend, which I wrote in 2012. At that time the Ugandan Parliament was proposing a heinous law ("Kill the Gays bill") so some artists created works about #LGBTQia This short script is a boarding school romance between two girls. 'Fearing friend' is how they referred to secret lesbian relationships in the 80/90s, public enemies, secret lovers. This never got produced, but enjoy a free copy here!
