CHARACTER BLOG: EVE

Hi everyone. This is the first in a series of blogs about the characters in my upcoming film, Red Door and Lemon Tree. In each blog, I will give you a small description of the character, their role in the movie, and a small taste of what they are like.

First up: EVE. Eve is a successful movie actor in Hollywood, and is also a Greek-born and naturalized American. She and her father came over from Crete when Eve was only 4 years old. She has gone on to make a life for herself in her adopted country but she is not completely fulfilled. After the sudden death of her father, and some other circumstances, she decides to embark on a completely crazy adventure  to find her childhood home.

The adventure begins in Crete, with only the help of a faded photograph, a child's drawing and a wacky set of companions that include a modern fortuneteller, a mountain witch, a damn-good-looking sailor, and the beautiful romantic setting of the Mediterranean and the island of Crete.

This is precisely the type of thing you hire a private investigator for. They are trained for this -- and they have the time, you don’t. You have work coming up.

EVE

This is a bit more personal. And work can wait.
