Hi Dan - congrats on getting this produced - I'm sure it's not exactly how you wanted, but that always happens as there's always going to be some interpretation from the director - and I guess he and the producer are beginning their craft too ... but well done on this - it's a good job
Thanks everyone. It really is great to see my name on a film. Glad to see that I got to these people early enough to let them know that they were in breach of copyright. They're nice enough people, but I don't regret putting my foot down. Hope they don't refuse to pick up a short of mine because they got scared.
Simon: I'm open for director's adding their own interpretation. It's great to see them taking the work from others and utilizing that to the best of their abilities. It's just an interesting experience to see your work play out differently from what you originally planned... It's by no means a bad thing though.
Brett: Thank you. You're right. I've been produced and that alone is an awesome feeling. Someone out there chose to use my work. It's great to have that recognition under my wing. I did wonder where that music came from... Should I file Copyright on that as well?? ...
Mark: Thanks Mark. Good to see I've made progress. You're off my age by about 5 years though... I'm only 5 Building that resume. Wanting to write my first independent feature length this year. I'll submit it to SS, for a butchering and then fix it up and submit it for another butchering. Thanks Mark.
Dirk: Keep up the way you're going and you'll see something on film soon. Thanks man. I'm hoping to see another three produced this year, but those deals could fall through at any point. Fingers crossed for the best.
I really owe a lot to the folks here at SS. From that very first review, I was immediately hooked on improving the craft. Even now, I'm still looking to improve. It's been less than a year and I'm already seeing the benefits. Thanks everyone for their time and awesome feedback.

Hey Dan, well done. Not sure what is more impressive, being filmed or finding the film maker who did it!
I suppose it's nice to think that there could be a whole family of my scripts running around out there that I don't know about. Maybe not.
Thanks Bill.
Both of them combined is pretty cool. The experience has made me somewhat paranoid lol. Whenever I get bored, I usually do a quick scan over youtube... Just in case.
I was thinking the other day if we should have some sort of law team on SS... Volunteers who search for randomly selected shorts every now and then just to increase the chances of finding something. At the end of the day, this copyright issue was nothing, but who knows? There could be someone out their profiting big time off stolen content on SS. These are the things I think about when I can't get to sleep
