FAQ about the movie April Showers

This is a very interesting article I found about the movie April Showers by Andrew Robinson.

Was a statement from Andrew Robinson ever given in the 11k?

Andrew Robinson - pg(5636-7)

“Is April in the film really Rachel Scott or
Cassie Burnall?”

I will be addressing this issue in a future story.
Stay tuned…"

I wonder about what future story is he talking about and if in the end is doing something. I find April Showers as a very good movie about school shootings, I like how is based on a survivor story and the principal characters are victims and not the perpetrators like in other ones. In my personal opinion, I am not very curious to know if April is Rachel or Cassie because she can be all the girls that died in Columbinr but I am now interested in that future project that he mentioned.

I think it's Rachel because the April in the movie was in theater class and the fact that the shooter Ben (Dylan) worked the lights for the shows. I think Ben more represented Dylan because he seemed to have more friends and it was more of a shock to them that he did this. No one was really surprised when they found out Eric was behind it. I always thought Andrew Robinson wrote Sean's character based on Brooks Brown. What do you all thinK?

Is very possible and makes sense, the journal of April that appeared in the end, could reflect Rachel's.journals too and about the shooter, I think that it makes sense too but can be more coincidential. It would be an interesting question to Andrew btw.

I thought it was clear as day that April represented Rachel Scott in that movie. I was heavily 'Rachel focused' during the height of my Columbine obsession so I probably know a few things about her that aren't that mainstream here. In the movie I noticed several small things that were attributed to Rachel while she was at Columbine.

For example, the line "I can take everything you throw at me" which was said by April in the movie was what Rachel told Andrew Robinson at Columbine.

I thought the movie was good, and quite emotionally sad. I thought it was a great touch when they listed the names of school shooting victims just before the credits at the end.
