Congrats Curt!

Nice to see your hard work paying off.

Thanks a lot Dirk, this is all pretty exciting.  Out of anything I've written, I dunno, I just really like this and it's probably my favourite short, so I'm just all over the place and stoked it's been recognized and is coming to life.  I know it's not a large scale production, but it's pretty surreal for me!

Curt

Any hot girls in this?  C'mon, what gives.

If so, Curt better go back and write a few extra saucy scenes

I've yet to see the headshots!  I feel like if I nag the director anymore he'll cut off my balls, lol.

HOWEVER --

He did send me a "selfie" of the girl playing DANIELLE.  Wow.  She is stunning, a really gorgeous girl.  

AND WHAT ELSE IS INTERESTING?

They got a REAL sibling duo to play Cam and Danielle.  Which I thought was awesome!

Curt

We better get a scene of an ass that can be "seen in the moon light."   ala The Cabin.  

I might as well just rewrite the entire short and have every character naked, I'd be making a statement, maybe even start a trend. lol.

We're in the same boat man. lol. I was stuck in 875 hell. Now, I'm stuck in 995 hell. lol.

Gabe

Thanks for the like, Gabe!

I get paid from work in two weeks, I'm not sure if it'll work since I'm not US based, but I do plan to pledge $25 dollars to your kickstarer.  My wage is in £££ thought so I'm not sure how it works, but I'll try.

Curt

Do you want to be Facebook buddies? If so, let me know.

Appreciate but, no worries. It'll be finished by then. Hopefully, it'll get there...somehow.

What's surprising and fascinating are people's obsession with board games over there. And the rules for these board games are crazy. What happened to keeping it simple. And I thought my writing was complicated. lol.  

Gabe  

I sent you a request, Gabe.

ALSO, exclusive first look at the people playing our two leads, Cam and Riley --

Apologies on the quality!  They were fine, then I uploaded them, and the size went bigger so the pictures are much grainy!

Curt

Impressive writing, Ambition.   Seems you may be a fan of Gregg Araki films.  But if I were to be completely honest I'd have to say I have no idea what just happened.  Did they (SPOILER)jump of the bridge?    That's gotta be it.  Right?  Right.

I look forward to seeing the film.

Thanks Silverback for the read, I've actually only ever seen one Araki film and it was Mysterious Skin starring JGL which I love.  But when writing When It Was Bliss I wasn't thinking about Greg Araki.  I guess it's a good thing it gave off that impression?

SPOILER

I think it was pretty clear that Danielle fell off the bridge from both the V.O in her room with Cam and the scene at the bridge.  I didnt really intend to give the impression she jumped.  I tried to make that clear in the dialogue and her happy personality.  You're actually the only person whom had a problem with understanding what happened to her so far.  Sorry it wasn't clear enough.

And thanks!  I'm excited for filming to begin in 5 days, and also stoked for the finished product.

Curt

Hmm.  Too bad.  That would've made it a lot more poignant, IMO.  You should consider it.  A real WTH?-type ending.

In any event, still good.  I liked this story better than "Need".
