Congrats!!! I just glanced at the first couple pages and I'm already sucked into wanting to read it. Can't right now though... are you gonna be taking down the script anytime soon?
Also, you should celebrate by trading me Ezekiel Elliott for my kicker.
Thank you, Pia. Yeah, they kind of do. Although, I should say that when the director found the script, he read the original 7WC draft, not the one in this thread and ended up liking the new one even better. It was oddly surprising. And, he definitely found it right here. I was going to start sending it out to indies after the PAGE result, but he swooped in and found it a couple weeks before the Quarters were announced. Go figure.
Thank you, Mark, and I hope to make everyone here proud by not screwing this up. Lol. Plus, I hate to be this guy, but it's true: if a director can come here and actually think one of my slow-burn talkfest scripts is worth filming, then there is hope for everyone out there and I hope each and every one of you guys gets to see your work on screen one day. =)
Well done, Sean, (and Robert)! I know you've been working on this for a long time.
Here's to hoping it's everything you imagine it to be. You must be pretty stoked.
Thank you very much, Libby. Well, it's been what, about six years? One of those virtues of never giving up-type of things? Lol. One can hope, but there's a little part of me that's sad on the inside, because there's only one idea I ever had that I truly wanted to direct. But, it's still cool and I'll love it everyday. It hasn't really set in, though, but I'm thinking it eventually will. I'm still in full rewrite mode, so when I finally get to take a step back from it, maybe then it'll occur to me.

Thank you very much, James. Well, unfortunately, it's not a fast-paced script or anything like that, so I would tell you that if you ever got around to reading it, expect it to move at a snail's pace. I haven't received word to have it taken down, but that could change as it gets closer to shooting. We'll see what happens. You remember the good old days when I WAS trying to offload Elliott? Looking back at those trades, neither of us really would've flourished with them. It would've made both of us worse. Lol.
That looks awesome, Sean! VERY excited to see this one come alive! Especially since I read it way back. I think I might have even read it twice, lol.
Keep us posted here please. I used to follow it on FB, but I had to close my account...
Best of luck with this one!!!
I do believe that you read it twice. Thank you very much, Pia, and it'll be nice to see it come out if, for no other reason, than because one of the complaints I got from almost everybody was that it was hard to keep track of all the characters in the script and that, as they said, "it would be easier to keep up with on film". I tend to agree. =)
Well done - I remember reading this script and liked it.
Hope it turns out well...actually that seems to have happened already

I don't know about you, but to me I find it amazingly cool that I read a script, here, liked it, and it's now a feature...which gets filmed
Well done
Big accomplishment
And a cool script as well
