I think that sounds good.  Let's do George's script.

No problem with me. If George's script -- then be it.

Javier i always wanted to ask you. What the hell of a monkey is that?

Quoted from Shelton Where has he been?  If we do an unproduced script, it's very beneficial if the writer is around.

Mike sent me an e-mail saying he's been pretty busy with a lot of things.

He hasn't had enough time for the internet, but he's told me he plans to start posting again soon.

He says hello to everybody. lol

Okay, since I seem to be the hostess here. We'll kick this one off tomorrow and we'll give it a week before postings on the script will start. That way we'll give all interested parties a chance to read and digest the chosen script before discussion starts.  

Thanks you all for your interest and participation!  

Which script has ben chosen?

That monkey is me after a night out in the town.

Not sure really.

I have never read this one, either, though I am quite familiar with the Willson library of works.  Hope I can find the time to participate.

Quoted from Our Hostess ...we'll give it a week before postings on the script will start...

Please adhere to this, Pia, and do not start the thread for a while -- or start it, then have a Mod lock it until you are actually ready to begin.

With some of the past threads, people who read it right away were off and running -- and by the time people who took a bit longer to read were ready to join in -- the conversation was essentially over.

Thanks for the link bert.  I'm reading it now.  On page 23 and enjoying it.

EDIT:  I've finished it.

I guess I will be able to participate this time afterall.

Well, I'm on pins and needles. I'm resisting the urge to ask how slabby liked it, but I'll be good and wait...and wait and wait and wait...

And yeah, I'll participate in the coming ones to make proper payment for all the attention.

haha well, I at least finished it.  Be happy about that, George.

There's a lot of scripts on here I would start but stop because I can't get into 'em.

I feel you will benefit greatly from whoever reads and gives input on it.

I have some suggestions myself, but I shall wait too.

I hear you bert.

I'll start the new one right now, so feel free to lock it for a week.

Actually, I have to go for a bit, but will do it when I come back. What board should it be on anyway? I forgot if we did unproduced screenplay discussion or screenplay class or whatever.  

It's been on the Screenwriting Class board before, and really, that's fine. I locked the thread for its week (which I presume will mean to unlock it next Monday -- I'll try to get up early). Thanks again for picking one of mine. Kind of an honor...

I finished reading this, ready to discuss whenever we do.  And George remember you can't join in the conversation until the host tells you it's ok.

I think it's an honor to review a script for someone who knows "how" to shoot a film-- no matter what camera you were using or any of the other details. You are working hard and I can see and I admire someone with aspirations that lead to further action.

I know that I will never be doing any camera work, but I'm interested in learning some of the strategies and "mind work" that goes on in this process. I know the tedium you are talking about, not in the same realm, but in editing and going over the same thing again and again.

When I used to study guitar, I did the same musical sequences again and again and although tedious, there was a satisfaction-- still, it didn't change the fact that I was frustrated in those times. I remember that frustration very clearly.

I can also understand how hard it is to look at one's own work-- and know  that your vision, and what you see as your "semi- finished work" are completely different things.

...But that's the process. You need to be congratulated on your perseverance; your day in the sun will most certainly happen with your good attitude.

I'm looking forward to reading your script George. I hope I can assimilate some of your experience and brilliance and any other "iances" that exist in your world.

Sandra

No worries, Mcornetto. I'll follow the rules.

I've been in the music realm too, Sandra. Actually, I did music before writing, having played any number of instruments for different bands from school to church for the last 20 years. For the moment, my instrumentality extends to guitar, drums, piano, and bass (depending on the need of the moment). And for an added level of tedium, my day job has to do with maintaining a piece of a computer program involving some programming here and there when the code acts up. I actually enjoy digging through line after line of computer logs and then the code looking for the problem.
