FYI for anyone who reads it-- this was a script written for my cinema production class at my school... we ended up making the movie. turned out pretty good, though a lot of it changed (both in intent and content) from the original script.
I love this short script. It kept me reading and completely interested with its wit and quickening pace building up to the pursuit of Julia into the building past the angry students and Kate. The characters stayed true to themselves, they never changed tone, or purpose, and you revealed just enough to tease the mind into staying with the script until the end.
Man, you developed your main character as well as I've seen anyone on the site do, and I've read a lot of scripts here.
Maybe some spellings were off and the grammar in a few spots was not quite right, but the idea was crisp, innovative and well thought out it appears. I had a Matrix moment while I was reading it, but you managed to not be cheesy about it, which helps immensely.
I can see why this one was made into a film because it has a really good spirit and the twist at the end caught me way off guard. I was thinking that Julia was dead! You got me and I loved it.
