Update: The screenwriter has fallen into a pit of lime jello. The director is currently looking for one of those "lifesaves" with rope to throw and save her. Doesn't look good, the jello is acting like quicksand. Director is worried, not about the writer, but about the script she's holding in her hand as she sinks. He's currently trying to buy a "reach grabber" gadget, not to save the writer, but the script!
Our motto: "Save the script, save the world" - we don't think it's been used before.
So, let me tell you a little bit about the story. The establishing shot takes place ________ and we then roll the camera to reveal ________ and then we hear the sound of _________ and then ________ turns on.
Script status: So, Elton and I discussed our establishing shots, then how we want to ease into our first act... uh, by the time I finished the first act I'm like on page 5 of a 6 minute short film.
ARG!!!! Now I have to wipe out our cool first opening establishing shots and go right into things, double ARG!!!
Finished the first draft of the script and why oh why does it almost look like I run over 6 minutes. Hey if we have to, forget the credits at the end. I need the whole 6 minutes.
