Congrats... Sorry I didn't get to reading these till now. Like I said earlier, I didn't even know where these were.
I enjoyed the script, it might have things wrong with it but certainly nothing to detract away from the big picture. I don't agree with the unfilmables and I pictured them in my head as you meant them.
I liked the pandering to the reader in the action lines. I know there are strict rules but it was fun. Really?
Like how you went for the straight up humor approach. How no one questions the fact that the guy is a werewolf. Just another perp. Good use of the lyrics, which was probably the trickiest part of this challenge. I had no problems with the descriptions as you kept them spare and let the dialogue carry the story. Like Babz said, great title.
It was a fun read. Some lines made me chuckle. And the lyrics fit in the dialogue and story effortlessly. A good comedic skit, and a good take on the challenge.
With regards to the story, there isn't much. Mainly just two guys talking to each other. But it's hard to have a compelling story with the restrains of the challenge.
So overall, I enjoyed it and I think you did pretty good.

FEATURE:
Memwipe - Sci-Fi, Action, Thriller (114 pages) - In a world where memories can be erased by request, a Memory Erasing Specialist desperately searches for the culprit when his wife becomes a target for erasure -- with his former colleagues hot on his trail.
It's about time somebody did something with one of these. Congratulations, Michael. The film was good stuff. For a pure noir, it could've used more overexposed lighting, but I like it better as is. Has the look of a Twilight Zone episode. =)
Haha I hadn't read the script so the film was a great surprise. Great casting -- the guy playing Talbot has a perfect look and voice.
Someone needs to tell them to flop the shot of Talbot, though. They're all looking right for the entire flick.
The script came off great on film. The shooting itself wasn't particularly dynamic (though the frames look nice), so it's a testament to the script that the film is so engaging.
Like Chris said, the shots weren't always correctly oriented. I also thought it was a little dark. Even so, it worked well enough. The writing was really the star of the show here. That's what really made it shine.
Didn't get to read the script but I liked how the film was shot in black and white. It gave that 1920s feel to it.
Are you doing anymore shorts or features or both?
