Hey James,

Thanks for the read.

As for the voice overs, well, Jesse was having a nervous breakdown.

All of this was running through his head, seeing his father (who wasn't there), the uncontrollable  crying, headaches, fits of rage (pounding his fist on the table), doubling over in pain, his mother saying they would go to the police and then says she will make him a nice batch of brownies... All a bunch of craziness running through his head.

Jesse was going to hang himself when Curt jumped him again.

Curt, being the bully he is, wrapped the noose around Jesse's neck after knocking him to the ground. I think he just wanted to be an idiot, not kill him, but Jesse thought he was going to kill him, and decided he didn't want to die afterall.

I just wanted to write something about bullying with a different kind of outcome. One where the bully actually loses. Something to make bullies think. If they might get hurt themselves, they might actually stop.

Thanks for the read again,

Cindy

Congrats Cindy!  A powerful message.

Thank you.
I was so surprised when I opened up my email to find the short there.
Then a couple hours later I received another email from another producer who sent the movie to my short script,  "Blue Ribbon".
It was a very good day.
Cindy
