A Short Cut To Fame by David Black - Short, Horror, Thriller - An obsessed fan achieves his aim of finding fame when he meets an award winning director.  3 pages - pdf, format

For production consideration - No comments required

This was an interesting read. It's a very short script, but also very disturbing.

The idea of someone committing an awful crime for the notoriety it will bring them is interesting, and I am also intrigued by the fact that the victim is a respected British actor/director instead of someone who is just famous for being famous. This is an interesting twist, as the titular "Short Cut To Fame" is achieved at the expense of someone who worked hard for it.

Keep up the good work!

Raphael,

You're welcome to comment on any script you desire, however, this individual has indicated they're not interested in feedback and your words may fall on deaf ears. That being said, this writer might also want to consider the difference between 'Famous vs. Infamous'... just saying. Best of luck.

So, the writer doesn't like to read comments...why? Does he think he doesn't need suggestions? Very strange! Anyway, I like his writing style.

Thank you very much for the unexpected reviews/replies.

I did mark this as not wanting reviews for various reasons, one, I'm not going to invest any more time into the script and two, it would waste reviewers time should they kindly offer suggestions on how to improve the script.

I'm happy how it is.

I would like to ask one small thing: Canis. how did I confuse you with the infamous/famous thing? --

"That being said, this writer might also want to consider the difference between 'Famous vs. Infamous'..."

Not too sure what you mean here, I would really appreciate your views!

David,

No worries. I was merely implying that someone who does something 'notorious' or 'bad' would not garner the title of being famous (actor, musician, author, etc)... they will only ever be known in the public eye as 'Infamous', such as a Serial Killer, Terrorist, etc. The narrator saying he's gonna be 'famous' seems off is all. Just opinion of course, all the best.

Thank you for your reply, Canis, I appreciate you taking to time to explain. Thank you for the good wishes,  I wish you likewise. All the best.
