To mark the occasion of The Willows having moved beyond scriptment and first draft into a second draft (likely with a co-writer), here's the original "scriptment" or "prosy initial blueprint" of the film as envisioned. It's essentially a raw document that seeks to unify the core ideas under one umbrella and is not intended as a properly formatted treatment, screenplay, or scriptment, for that matter. The final draft will have scenes not included here and its language will be economical; it will be meticulously formatted; it will have three brads. Note: While the "scriptment" is relatively tame in some aspects (blood and gore), it is not so tame in others (sexuality and minor language). So, consider this the blueprint for an R-rated film, and approach it accordingly.

Blackwood's "The Willows" Screenplay Excerpts (Wayne Spitzer)
Here's a sequence which occurs shortly before the protagonists arrive at
the willow island. For those who read closely and are familiar with the
story, there are here...implications. Blackwood scholars will recognize--
approvingly, I hope!--the influence of AB's nonfiction ("Down the Danube
in a Canadian Canoe") on these scenes. CLICK ON IMAGE TO READ
