Script overview:This is the story of what happened - "that day". that day Draggy met the Grunt.


Script Sample passages:

ALTON

I'm a college student, see heres my card... I live over there, thats why I'm here on foot...and got this backpack...look at me, you know I am...

---

ALTON
Oh, it's totally up to you... It's no prize package but it's qualified bomb. Doesn't matter to me either way, just trying to help you out - do the best I can. Like I don't even know you...I'm risking alot by doing this...you could be..

Enough sample of the script....go on read the thing....but consider:

Please be adult with the comments, its a -highly- rough draft, I know theres typos and gramatical errors ... I will fix that simple stuff later... concise the lengthy dialog, etc.

Just want **** plot feedback, story feedback, overall feeling feedback, not the things I know are apparent folks ;)


Again:

Warning this attatched script is very rough but the content is
definately understandable and comprehendable, my friends.

Just check it out and if your not hooked by the first page then simple
stop reading and tell me 'you weren't feeling it' - I love all
criticism so be comfortable with your comebacks to me with a response to
my short script "Draggy Hits Pay Dirt" (PDF avail at the above embedded link)

It's a modern, urban pulp fiction type story revolving around a college student who has some issues with debt-- nothing real violent crimewise,
and more on the lingo / dialog which still isnt anywhere near perfected - ha -
this is just like a preview to get a hint of what I plan to perfect
write and produce - hopefully sooner than later...

Please your opinion counts, check it out and critize honestly...

It's rough and obvious typos and mistakes but I'm more trying to get
everything down first before I go back and clean everything up.... so
don't think its bad because of the apparently obviously grammar
glitches and spelling errors.


Thanks guys!
'Preciate any advice or feedback,
But I do have my own stlye and don't want to conform to the bland typical, everyday stuff.... hehe.

Until-time-time -- until some feedback/comments are left or directed my way,
Take it easy, everyone,
Respectfully,
Edward Washington

PS -------->>>>

Oh - oh - btw - the attatched contains a ton of slang languge like in
the dialog... so be warned - hope you can understand it - but I think
I write it in a way that is hip and lightly funny but still dark and
foul. You tell me, please. ;)

:hmm:

With that in mind, and this comes straight out of fiction writing 101, never let anybody see your writing in this state. I honestly don’t see the point of posting something this (and I’m using my adult voice here) 'raw'. :huh:

When you take a moment and consider the depth and wealth of knowledge available to you on this board, it boggles me to think why you would post something like this. I'm not trying to start a flame war or irk you so badly you leave and give up, I'm just saying there are people on this board who make really good films. Yours might be one of them someday so why wouldn't you make everything you post as clean as possible?

Maybe it's just me - but I doubt it.

Fix it up and I would love to look at it again.
