Nice work Dena, Brown Water was one of my top picks.  Very atmospheric - I've been a sucker for anything set in a swamp since Southern Comfort.  Was that a different intro on the audio version?  Touche and Eisotrophobia were also right up there for me.

Thanks Don and Khamanna for putting it all together.

Yes. Don said I could give it a rewrite. I read thru the notes here and then paid Carson $75 to read it... and then rewrote it. Two people on SS and Carson felt like the death at the beginning didn't really go with the rest of the story ... I was just setting the tone sort of ... but I chose to chop that whole scene off due to the notes. I never know with a rewrite if I am fucking the script up or making it better. Rewriting has always been like that for me. Most times... people prefer(even producers) the scripts I crap out versus the ones I pour time into. Weird. But true for me thusfar. Thank you for even noticing that.
