Worthy of envy, deserving of praise - this is worthwhile literature.

I'm not very good with these script thingys, but i am enjoying what i've read so far.
Have a vote for a great story.

I love these reviews - even the ones that take time to point out the problems - but I never expected to do so well in reruns!

I hardly know difference between spec script and shooting one, but after finally getting your piece in PDF so I could get a quick read, I zipped through meat of it all. I especially liked the deliveries, the scene with Prof Subcheck probably my favorite, with the bedroom scene mixed in it made it good tale with building tension. Since it was an end of the world story, didn’t take long to figure out what was going on. I understand spec script would be bare bones – I’d cut some of the detailed descriptions. - Personally I listen to background music in most any TV show to grab onto up and down and mood changes, so I missed that. How fresh is this in the stacks of scripts being read??? Good job; Best of luck to you. Hope you can get a door open to what must be a very tough market.

Of course you're right.

Most actors only see a shooting script but, having done coverage on literally hundreds of spec scripts, I've seen all sorts of things slipped in between the lines of the usual format.

In this case, knowing the readership here, I chose to explain things a bit more in detail - without going beyond the range of acceptable format.

It's so much easier for the art department and special effects folks to have something in writing to work from and, of course, it's easier to cut a few dozen words out than to explain to a reader later just how a character got from point A to point Z.

That and, erasers are cheaper than coming up with new ideas once there's a "name" attached.

Thanks so much for your support.

for votes, I had to return and finish the reading - even had I not, I would have voted for your offering. I second Kenneth thoughts.

I had one concern - your script reads more like a book {which is delightful for the reader} - in all scripts I've had an acting part - only the bare bones were served. That is, each actor got their lines with a minimum of story which was told through the lines.

In any case, I certainly enjoyed this tale and want to help you stay in the top ten!

Greatest book i have ever read on this subject
