Well done Mark.

You've gotta get that whole explanation into the story.  The story would be AMAZING if you do that, somehow.

Please rewrite it and have all that go into it.  

And add some dialog...

I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good.  I enjoy writing the same.  Looking to team with anyone!

Thanks

Hey Mark,

No worries at all mate, that was genuine praise for your work.

I'm not normally into action, or the mysterious sci-fi stuff, and when I started page 1 I thought it just wasn't going to work. However, curiosity got the best of me and the continual ramping up of pace, coupled with the mystery surrounding what was actually happening, dragged me to the twist, and maybe it's because I'm a parent but it really hit me hard.

As per my comment above, I really liked it and rate it as one of the best I've read in the short time I've been doing this screenwriting stuff. Conceptually it's right up there, and even though I thought the ending could be taken in by a few lines, I actually think it's got a perfect balance and pacing to it.

Great work Mark, get the few tiny typo niggles ironed out and get it up on the Unproduced Scripts section and see where it goes.

A friend of mine had a piece of art done to show how Atoll's Edge may look as an animated short. Just thought I'd share it as I think it is wondeful!

Cold hard cash. Brilliant!
Looking forward to seeing it. The film, not the cash, though that'd be nice too.

Congrats, Mark.

Thanks, guys!

The company that has optioned it wants to expand the story and plans on shooting it over the summer. I'm working on the script with them now. I'm not sure how they are going to pull this off but I'm just focusing on the script and will leave the producing to them.
