Delicious.
But the real reason I'm posting is sort of different. A little bit.
I've just finished a first draft of a feature screenplay called The Flight of the Flamingo and, if everything goes well, I'd like to film it this summer. I know it's being ambitious but I figure that we might as well be ambitious and not fanny about the whole time.
Anyhow, I'm not (currently) looking for advice on the production side of things but I am on the writing. So I'd really appreciate it if people gave it a read. I'd love for people to read it all but I appreciate that it might be easier to just read a few pages. I'd appreciate either and all the feedback I can get.
LOGLINE: A group of young society criminals take a dog hostage but when they can't remove it's tracking chip, and armed men start pursuing them, things rapidly get out of control.
It's basically my anti-gritty British gangster movie thesis. Should be darkly funny in places, but it's kind of a road movie with a little bit of social reality and a little bit of wish fulfilment. Romance, violence, mystery, intrigue... a little bit of each of these things.
At the moment it's a bit slight, so I'd appreciate if anyone has any ideas about additional scenes or if, when reading it, anyone feels like a scene could be extended a little. Also if anyone has any ideas how things could be scaled down in order to be easier to shoot on a low budget and short timeframe, that sort of thing is appreciated.
But, yeah, basically I'd like to know what works and what doesn't (in terms of story, lines, characters...etc) and what changes I should make in the next draft.
Cheers and here's the link:
