OUR FILM WINOLA

Hey everyone! Andrea and I finally came up with a title for our film: WINOLA. Winola is the name of our talking tree. We chose the name Winola because it means "charming friend". Throughout our film, our main character, Alice, will be developing a relationship with Winola.


Eessentially, in our film we are developing this relationship between girl and tree over the course of 3 years - starting when Alice is 12/13. We want Mother Winola to be a grandmother type figure to Alice so we would depict Alice coming to visit the tree everyday and she’d tell the tree about her day and her problems and Mother Winola would give Alice advice and explain to Alice her role as a human in nature. The central conflict introduced in the film would be that Alice finds out the area where Mother Winola resides will be destroyed and deforested to make room for a big corporate factory. After learning about and spending so much time in nature with her tree, Alice knows she must put a stop to this. Mother Winola who always has the right advice, tells Alice that she should not get involved since she is just a child and has no real power in this situation; for the first time ever Alice goes against what Mother Winola tells her and attempts to put an end to the destruction of her favorite place. In the end she succeeds and begins an initiative to protect the environment and plant more trees, Alice proves to herself, Mother Winola, and everyone else that it doesn’t matter how old or young you are, anyone can provoke change.
