I'm very pleased with the direction I went with the story of Code Name Jade. Episode 3 is about the past shaping who we are in the present. Jade was involved in a high roller poker robbery that resulted into a triple homicide. The score was a killing making Jade very rich, as it turns out diamonds was the main target in the robbery. I was very pleased with the way the script came out, I challenged my self to go in a different route as compared to the other episodes. This episode is more darkly themed giving the viewer a feast of new characters and a glimpse into Jade's past.
I was influenced by heist films such as The Killing, Reservoir Dogs, Belly and The Sopranos. I wanted to add a love triangle that deals with a double crosses, love and betrayal. The actors playing the roles did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. The crew was on point, especially since we rehearsed on the day of the shooting, Honestly the script I penned was easy and straight forward it was good to see the cast giving their all.
The skill set I learned with each episode in the Code Name Jade series is the challenge of creating unique individual stories, but share the continuous story line. This episode is the building block to the creation of Jade's character and how she survives in the underworld.
