Patrice Bonneyrat, screenwriter of the TV pilot
“6:39”. I’m a set designer, technical director, stage
director, documentary maker, and an acting and theatre arts
teacher.
Sleep paralysis and UFOs: two unrelated subjects that come
together to form the premise of my pilot.
For years I have suffered from sleep paralysis and I still
do. The symptoms of this particular disorder can be kind of
frightening. I have the feeling of being awake and also
having waking dreams. I try to wake up but I’m paralysed.
On top of that, hallucinations make the situation even more
distressing, to say the least.
The UFO phenomenona has always been fascinating to me. And
the idea of writing a story about it has been in my mind for
a very long time. I’ve read and watched everything I could
find on the subject.
My personal experience with my sleep disorder has allowed
me to develop a new approach to the UFO phenomenona in
writing my TV pilot. I’ve created a world where buried and
subconscious emotions come to life through what I call
“flying spheres”: half machine and half organic UFO’s.
As a screenwriter, the most stimulating part of writing is
when I grasp a concept that is beyond my comfort zone. And
I allowed "6:39" to transport me to this strange and
unlimited space where dreams and emotions are born.
