Screenplay-Bri Cassara

Here is the link to my screenplay.

In my screenplay, I wanted to give background information as to why Severe Haircut Lady (Alex) is as harsh and unhappy as she appears in "Little Brother." As a child, Alex is very happy. She and her family are very close. Her dad works for the Department of Homeland Security. Then, when Alex is 8 years old, her mother is killed in a school shooting. Unable to cope with his wife's death, Alex's father becomes a reclusive monster who completely disconnects from his daughter. Alex is forced to raise herself, and never is given a full chance to deal with her grief. Working for the DHS is, in a way, an attempt to avenge her mother's death. She wants to bring down as many terrorists as she can, and because her mother was killed by a white teenager, she is not only distrusting of the usual "terrorist" but all types of individuals.
