150 Scripts: A Journey into the Heart of Filmmaking
Dr. AY Heath Dec 23, 2024
Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

Key-Kee Catdine
"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."

Born Between Two Days
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

Sheep or Wolf: The Choice That Shapes Your Destiny
This is to challenge readers to choose between living like a sheep—following the crowd, making excuses, waiting for permission—or living like a wolf, taking responsibility, leading their own path, and pursuing their goals with discipline and intention. It emphasizes that success depends on personal accountability: “It’s on you, to get you, to where you need to be.” The message is clear—stop waiting, stop blaming, and start acting. Every day you decide whether to follow or to rise. No excuses.

The Car Payment Crisis Nobody Wants to Admit
Across the country, something is breaking — and it’s not just engines. It’s people. Current car owners say they’re drowning under massive monthly payments, weak durability, and repairs that hit harder than the note itself. And for millions, the dream of owning a new car has quietly turned into a trap.
SNAP BENEFITS: CUTS, CHAOS, AND WHAT’S COMING NEXT
