Quoted from Pleb
Haha that's actually true. Although in my defence I only got the script off Juliette (the chick who's voice you heard) just before it was shot, so I barely had any time to learn the lines. Not sure why it was left to the last minute but I'm guessing they were going to use another actor initially.

I remember starting well and he seemed impressed initially (they were shooting in chronological order) but a couple of pages in I was struggling... tried hiding the script so it was in my sightline but out of shot of the camera but no doubt the performance would have dipped noticeably by that stage so not surprised they didn't bother editing what was shot. They did shoot the whole thing though.

On the plus side there's no way it would have turned out as good as the version that was made though. Not just because that actor is way better than I am, but that set looked way better. These guys were shooting in an office garage that didn't really look very convincing.


Thanks for the background info. I was just stating what I was told!

I mean, Awkward is my middle name.

That sounds like a shoddy situation though, with the last-minute contact and the office garage set.

I'm happy with how this new version turned out, but I was really hoping Steve would've been able to finish his production with that recording he had.

Sorry to call you out

Hahaha it's all good!

Yeah I was hoping it'd get finished too but that seems to be a fairly common occurrence. I've worked on a bunch of things (not just as an actor but other roles off camera) that were shot and then were just left on a hard-drive to never see the light of day. Never understood it, especially considering how much time and effort and sometimes money they'd put into them.

Thank Gaga. Lol. Well, I'm at least very appreciative that your discovery of this script is how you found SS. I should've read your message better when you said you worked on this script, and you'd meant that you WORKED on it, like, as a job. Boy is my face red!  

Yeah that's really unfortunate when that happens. I've worked on some projects myself, both on and off-screen, and have never seen the majority of the finished projects. Either the filmmakers never finished them, or just never showed me. Boo. But you're right, why go through all the trouble to make something only to never finish it?
