As most of you are aware, I haven't been on SS a great deal lately as I thought I would back off for the last few months to get a feature completed.
It has been an, "ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN" project for the last 4 years, with little time available to dedicate, in order to get it completed.
I decided some 6 months ago, to take on a Co-Writer and decided that Daniel Botha was the way to go as he joined SS around the same time as myself, and our styles are similar. Dan has been invaluable and I could not have gotten it done without him. He will go places.
The project was around half way done, when Dan joined forces with me, and......
We have just finished the FIRST DRAFT and it's soooooo Freakin exciting.
Beat Sheet done, Query Letter done, a poster done (for fun) and starting to look at a final final final draft draft draft check. I must be stuttering from the excitement. Character Bio's and maybe a mood board on the way soon.
Copyrights happen in about a week and then we are in business.
Well I can't let our too much, other than it's a psychological Thriller and the concept has never been done before. Bad news is, it won't be making it's way onto SS apart from a few active SS members who have offered to read.
I'll look at getting onto the Sequel and Prequel soon, and have a ghost writer lined up to write a novel based on the first screenplay.
I hope to have more time free very soon, to get back into reading and commenting on SS and look forward 2 it.
Regards Alex
PS a final thanks goes out to all the SS members who have commented on my shorts over the last 12 months. YOU GUYS ARE ACE and I wouldn't be here without you help and support.
Not trying to burst your bubble, but if this is your FIRST DRAFT then hopefully you realize you've probably got at least FIVE MORE DRAFTS ahead of you before this thing is even close to being shopped around.
I know it is only a first draft though since it has taken soooo long to get here, I have done a few edits and rewrites along the way so I am hoping it is slightly more progressed than a first draft.
In fact, both myself and Dan have already commenced a final review to undertake some minor changes and possibly a few minor additions as the length came in 3 pages under what I hoped for.
I have also done a full read yesterday and did some minor fine tuning to the already pretty solid storyline.
Saying all the above, I am sure it will need more and more and more changes as you guys have mentioned.
I have to say writing this one has been a blast as I have down a huge amount of reasearch into Serial Killers and how they think and act.
I feel I have embedded this sick knowledge into the innocent mind of Daniel. For that I apologise.
I am sure Dan, wont be far behind me at posting on this thread.
Dan, I know I have got your mind thinking like a Serial Killer and I know you now have a much better understanding of their mindset. Once again, I am still Sorry for that.
I feel I have embedded this sick knowledge into the innocent mind of Daniel. For that I apologise.
It's true! It's true I tell ya! He's turned me into a psychopathic killer! Save me!!!!!
Nah in all honesty, it's a great feeling to have a feature length partly under your belt. I say "partly" mainly because I know there is still a lot of work to go before it's properly finished. It's still exciting, nevertheless.
Alex is incredibly easy to work with an his overall passion for his work has made it an awesome experience.
As for posting to SS. I'm going to remain neutral on that one.
