Thanks

Yeah I'm aware the lack of contact is part of it. In contrast tho, I also gave some students in Australia permission to use it and they sent me an email last week being really apologetic that they couldn't film it because of Covid

Quoted from Matthew Taylor
So, I didn't know, but this has actually been filmed.

I gave a filmmaker permission to film this back in April of last year under the conditions that I was kept up to date and given full writing credit.

I randomly came across the old email today when looking for something else and decided to google the guy. He had a short film called "One Last Call" with a release date of 1st Jan 2021... "could be mine" I thought.

read the blurb... "Frank Dearing's life crumbles over 30 years as he receives daily phone calls from his deceased son"... yep, deffo mine.

I've had a quick search and I can't find the finished film anywhere, just a preview of a scene on youtube (Will watch it later as I am at work)

I've reached out to the guy to see if I can see the full film and if I have been given writing credit on it.

Annoying I wasn't kept up to date as this would be the very first time one of my scripts has been turned into a film


Consider yourself very lucky if you stumble across a filmmaker that keeps you in the loop, they are few and far between.

A quick check of IMDb seems to say that you were not given credit, at least not on IMDb, possibly still on the film.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13525768/

You can add yourself as the writer if you chose to.

Congrats on your first film, always exciting. I'm sure there will be many more.

Thanks, Warren. I hope so.

The good thing I guess is that no-one has writing credit on it yet (so he hasn't given it to himself)

I have no idea how I add myself, I'll see if he responds to my email first.

I've been stalking posts from the filmmakers and looks like this has just gone into post-production, below are some stills from the film they have posted if anyone is interested. (Looks like they added some guns into the story lol)

Nice one, good to hear it's coming along.

Looks like a nice little production, and good to see you've been added to IMDb as well.

Wasn't this one already made?

Could have swore I'd seen it before.

All comments above said, and reading the script beyond/through those... overall a very nice story.

This has been filmed under the title "One Last Call"

(This is from the filmmaker I let use for free a while ago, not the one I sold it to, so hopefully will get another film from this script)

I think this version came out great.  Everything from acting to lighting to film quality.  You should be very happy with this.
