Hey everyone!

Just wanted to say thank you SO much for taking the time to read this. As mentioned in another post, I'm going to try and keep my eyes out for rewrites.

As far as this script is concerned, I couldn't agree more with 99% of your comments. I'm SO happy that I can use flashbacks again haha It took me about 3 hours to come up with the story and then another 2 to write it. Was super pressed for time and I didn't have a chance to edit it. So I'm pretty happy with myself given the small amount of time that I did have. Seriously, f uck work. And I don't even have a kid so I really can't complain/make excuses haha

As far as the story is concerned, this is (unfortunately) based on true events. There have been reports of pastors accusing kids of "witch craft" in Nigeria in order to make money. The families then hand their children over to the elders of the church. These elders proceed to beat, torture, and even kill the children. The consumption of acid and even cement are involved. feel free to read about it here:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/08/25/nigeria.child.witches/index.html

it's absolutely insane and just heart breaking overall.

regardless, it's just an element to the overall story. i think this one will have a much larger impact on those who don't know that there's a hurricane outside going into the story. and some major edits need to be made. but all in time.

so thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm sure i'll be on the boards more often now that my first feature lenght is finished.

You did good here, Will.  And, with only 5 hours or so?  Damn good.  I expected a ton of research was involved.

It was a bit talky, but it was a strong story and characters.  Easily in my top 6 or so.

Good work!
