Take me to the movies

Once more with feelings!

Althought it has been a long time coming, I have to tell you it feels amazing to have your script handed to you... DONE! Thats right baby, the final lenght comes down to 91 pages, and still retains all of its original glory. While transcribing the script I got a chance to cut out a lot of the crap that just didn't need to be in there, so it sounds twice as good.

Now like I said, I had my script handed to me. I typed it all up over the last week (finishing on thursday) and I sent it off to my good buddy (and awsome producer) and he printed it off and brought it to me... so I could read it.

Once it was in the script format, there was only one thing to do... have a script reading!

Excelent producer, Tod, got together some rocking gents to come read my peice of trash script, inexchange for some food. Alex and David joined up to show us how a real script reading is done. Dispite a rocky starts (and watching some comedy on my laptop) we got all the way throught the script before finishing up all the food I bought for the ocasion.

There is something about hearing your creation read allowed for the first time that is odly exilerating. To be honest, before that point, I had never heard the whole thing read from start to finish (nor had I honestly read it all in one go), so yes there were some points in the reading where we all went, "What the fuck were your drinking, Brendan," when it was read.

When it was all said and done, I have one hell of a script... and we are going to have one hell of a movie. Wooo!
