I liked this one very much. Too bad it didn't make it into the festival.
As mentioned though, all gun-free claims must actually be gun-free to qualify.

Sweet ... glad you liked it. I really wanted it in, but it just didn't work out.
I did a search on the script and the word gun does not appear...did I miss something?
Shoot, I just re-read it. I forgot I changed the ending and added the pistol. But it would work with out it ... honest it would

Your right, no mention of the word gun. However, there is a gun in there.
Page eight, and I quote:
"Robbie's mom looks up as Mr. Monroe pulls a pistol from his
waistband."

Yea, I did a quick scan after I posted that and found it. :embarasse
I did update my post...and for the record, it would work without the gun/pistol.

Opps, I see that now, sorry.
Yes, it would work. He could carry a baseball bat or a 2 by 4 or a hunting knife or something and that would be good.

Larry, how did you update your post ... as far as I can tell, the modify/edit function is still not working here on DVXuser.
Stinks too, because once folks set up their threads for the AdFest, they won't be able to go back & update the beginning posts with updates, BTS, etc.

I didn't modify it, I reposted then deleted the original. Iritiating, I know. I believe it is being worked on.

And THAT'S what I wanted to hear. :beer:
Our unproduced script also had no gun - it was more of a throwback to those great suspense spy-thrillers from the sixties and early seventies - think Day of the Jackal.
I guess you have to have guns to actually get your film made - or maybe I'm confusing firearms with motivation, dedication and time.

As I pointed out earlier, Tie Can Do had only one gun. I originally had this scene was to have an old lady spilling groceries and stopping The Red Tie guy from leaving the train. I only added the wooden gun to appease my 7 yo. So does this gun "count" as a gun. (I'm sure my actor would have prefered being shot with a fake gun over the multiple groin shots)

That's a great screen grab. I feel the pain.
I think that it worked out better than with a lady spilling groceries; it added a bit of humor.
