Several issues out of the shoot.

INT. GRAHAM’S APARTMENT


Need to have DAY or NIGHT at the end of the slug.


Quoted Text
GRAHAM sits in a sharp black suite. Not a single hair out of
place. But something is hidden underneath his cool demeanor.
A loud CRUNCH of metal is heard, followed by police SIRENS.


Give us an age for Graham and some description.


Quoted Text
But the street is empty. This crash has already happened.


How could we know this? We're inside the apt. Also - doesn't make sense - if there were a crash - at least the cars would be in the street.

GRAHAM
I don’t know how this is happening
but since you’re here, have a look
at your eulogy? I’m almost done,
you can proof it.


Stopped here. His reaction seems totally unrealistic - he's seeing the ghost of his sister and his primary reaction is to seek assistance with proofing the eulogy??

Hi eldave1,

Thanks for your feedback. I will look at and make these changes. This is all good stuff.

I think these are all easy fixes.  The crash sound can be cut, or there could be a POV out the window on the empty street.

And Graham could just stare at her in disbelief, awkward pause and she looks at the computer screen.
