rough cut

The story:

At first, people are shown wearing the scarfs in various ways in different parts of the world (headscarf, fashion accessory, belt etc).. then suddenly their scarfs begin to get loose and fly away. Coming from different parts of the world, the scarfs get together at the end and go to the location where they were first made, a factory.

I sit tight, I hang on
I need you to need me
lost like rain on open skies
So soft, so suddenly
Now I’m back where I started

Rosare (farsi) = scarf

***

Scarves come in various colors, patterns, textures and sizes. They're all unique and people from around the world use them very differently.


Idea:
A scarf traveling around the world, making stops at various locations to depict how scarves are used in different cultures/regions in the world. For instance, in Iran a scarf would be used as a headscarf, whereas in Italy its seen more as a fashion accessory--an individual would wear it around their neck. Some countries I've considered so far include India, Canada, Spain and of course, Iran & Italy.
Approach:
Minimalistic line drawings, photo collage, some script symbolic of each culture.
Sound:
Not sure how exactly I want to incorporate voice overs but I have my music set for the band The American Dollar, The Slow Wait (2).

I am beyond excited. I can't wait to bring my idea alive!

Sometimes...

I wonder if scarves have lives of their own.
