Nope.

Thanks for all the reads and comments.

This script is actually inspired by one of my earliest memories. Luckily for me, my dad eventually came back(like 5 years later)and my mom eventually got sober and completely turned her life around. So proud of her. But I'll never forget the night he left. It's a surreal dreamlike memory that couldn't be pried from my mind if I wanted it to.

Thanks again, everyone, for reading.


Quoted from James McClung
Hey man,

We discussed this briefly, but figured I'd give you a bump. Some good comments above. It didn't occur to me that Tyler might not understand his father is going away permanently. That makes a lot of sense and maybe is something worth exploring. I also agree that you might be selling yourself short with two pages. You could actually add a lot in one page and still keep the brevity that seems to be working for the script as a whole.

Overall, I dug it. Nice cohesive concept yet with interesting implications, and the lack of dialogue works to drive the emotional punch home. Not bad.  


Always appreciate a bump. Thanks, Dude. Happy you enjoyed this one.

Nope.



I was kidding. Just a Zack joke, cause they're so fun!

This was a wonderful script. To know that it has truth to it is heartbreaking and makes it even more powerful.
