Covenant

So Lawrie, Have you decided what changes (if any) you are going to make to your short? Or are you going to develop it straight into a feature? Or will it remain in your computer, never to be touched again?
 
Well a script is just like a girl - if you leave her long enough someone else will er touch it (thats um a horrible analogy!)

No no, a script is like a man, and a man touching his own script is like touching his... er...

Well I love the Sergio Leonne spaghetti westerns - i like the political edge in particular to a Fistful of Dynamite. Ken Russell, a British director tackles historical themes with huge amounts of excess style (in particular towards his violent/sexuality themes and their visualisations!

Technically speaking the short features pretty much all the biggest set piece scenes - otherwise spread out would be individual moments / confrontations (smaller action scenes) and general character development.

From the feedback Melville appears to be the star - and so the hero in this sense should bare the humanity of the piece. Melville its perverse irony.

Production wise id reduce the number of dudes on the script, but basically i think it could be produced as a micro budget for about $30k probably less.

It really depends if there would be a market for it :P

I hate to say it, but maybe just maybe there is in a modest way! A Haggis Western?
