Thanks Daniel.

As I mentioned earlier, a lot of the dialogue, especially the commentary stuff, is direct quotes or slight rewrites from real reports and interviews made around the two scandals in real life. And yeah, it would have to be done by Troma or an indie group doing it unrated. Something like that.

I'm totally sincere when I say I'm really thankful you took the time to write three long posts about it. Whether the opinions are positive or negative does not change that. Thanks man.

I guess I'd say to you that cut it down, make sure it happens only once.  You kind of preach to us a lot in the script.

I'm sure you saw the first Friday the 13th.  It's at the end that you find out that her son died b/c the counselors were having sex.  That was her motivation.  Kill all the attractive people who'd rather have sex then do their job.  But, it's only spoken once.  And even today, 30 years later, it still is powerful.  Don't overdo it.  

Also, really try to figure out how to get the most out of your characters.  What makes them unique or likable?  What makes the audience connect with one or more?  Why do we care what happens to any of them?

I just put the first 2 episodes of my series up, I think I do a pretty decent job of making every character stand out by the end of episode 2.  

Best of luck to you!  Again, I love the idea.  It's the perfect reason to flip out.  

Dan

I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good.  I enjoy writing the same.  Looking to team with anyone!

Thanks

I have to say after the reading script, I felt that the eerie ambiance in the beginning was never retained. The characters are all well developed but not in a way that I could attach myself to anybody or care what happened to them in the end.
But in the end, I have to say it was enjoyable quick read.
