Hi Alffy, Just read this script and the first thing that springs to mind is that I enjoyed your writing. You’re a tight to the point writer that enables the reader to “view” the scene quickly. As a newbie I would like to try and emulate your style as it is very much they way I would like to write. Many thanks.
GIANT MILLIPEDE (to wife) Look, sweetheart, give me a break. I’ll get round to it when I have time. I don’t have a dozen pair of hands, you know!
Enjoyed the screenplay even though I didn't initially know what playing Conkers was (have now Googled). The fact that the workers are focused on something entirely outside of work, passionate about it and bonded over it, made me chuckle because it was relatable.
IMO it was a solid piece of writing, and enjoyed especially the last 2 lines: Jenny smacks a lip stick souvenir on Duncan’s cheek and hangs on his arm. Peter pushes through the ecstatic crowd and snaps a photograph of a triumphant Duncan.
The fact that Jenny switched sides and Peter has some sort of newfound respect for Duncan makes the ending interesting on another level - and so much is executed in so little.
Hey John, thanks for the read and glad you liked it. I notice a link in your sig, I'll give it a read when i get chance...probs in the next few days.
Angela, 'Conkers' baffled a few non-Brits I think lol, got to love Google. I'm glad you enjoyed this little script. I wanted it to be a bit ridiculous; workers having passion for a childrens game. Glad you enjoyed the writing too. If I can repay the read just let me know.
Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.
