Manolis, Again, very good. Can't say I remember every detail of your original, but the interview seemed a little smoother this time around. Also, did you actually have the wife appear at the end of the last draft? I'd consider adding her -- I think it would add that extra "oomph" that this story may need. A glare from her as she hands Colton the photo? It might work. Your story, though. Either way I still love this. Steve

Thanks for re-reading, Steve! I did consider using the wife, but since it would be just for a few seconds I thought it better to keep the script down to two characters. Glad you still liked it, though. Manolis

Well done, Squire. Quick - believable - funny. A few moments after finishing I thought it would be interesting if Safeer - rejected by the PD, became a private detective. I could see a feature with him. Just musing - anyway - really well done

Glad you liked it, David! I currently have a few other ideas for features, but in the future... who knows?
Thank you for the read!

Hey, Magnolis, that was a lot of fun. First of, he sounded quite funny and reminds me of many many people I know. Many many many many. And the ending is very satisfactory and laughing out loud funny. Great job!

Hey Manolis I thought, like many, this was very funny. It's a great little story with a perfect pay off.

Thanks, Khamanna, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, many non-native speakers do sound like Safeer. I don't exactly sound like an Oxford graduate myself.
Hi, alffy, glad you liked the story and the pay off. Thank you for the read!

This one has been produced by Melbourne-based director Fook Ngo.
Fook 'n' Go.
Great ice breaker.
Well done Manolis. Hopefully it does well at the festivals.
