dc.description.abstractDespite increasing efforts for ‘greener’ screen production practices and screen poetics, the nonhuman continues to be excluded in screen narratives that predominantly revolve around the human protagonist and anthropocentric world views. Arguing that inclusion is not a matter of representations on the screen but of letting others tell, this research explores diversity as more-than(-human) matter to ask how the utterances of more-than(-human) storytellers can be invited into story development and the writing of the screenplay text. By offering the screenplay page as the common ground that invites others into its storytelling, I draw from the ‘wandering’ of my creative practice to explore how different relational, experiential and textual markers provide the semiotic pathways that indicate or limit another's telling respectively. The result is a shift from representation, as a storytelling about, towards the narrative positionings of a storytelling together with in the form of polyphonic assemblage. Diversity emerges as a screenwriting beyond conceptions of voice, language and my screenwriting self.
