One more day

So Josh and I just had like a 3 or 4 hour conversation about the themes of the script, the motivation of the afflicted, where they come from, and a few instances of crappy dialog.

I'll be sending the script out tomorrow.

And the new new ending will be significantly better. and more relevant to the script.

Script Update

Hey,

So the script. On top of picking up an extra shift, and dealing with some car trouble (stupid snow), I've spent the last couple days typing up all the changes to the script. I'm going to look over stuff tomorrow, and maybe add another scene. But here's an overview of the changes.

Zack's backstory has been completely changed
The Lily Renee relationship has been strengthened.
The Tom Lily relationship has been strengthened
The Zack Jenn relationship has been strengthened
The Afflicted's eyes no longer turn black, now they bleed blackblood.
The first half of act two has been significantly re-ordered and tweaked.
Almost everything after page 86 has been completely re-written in which-
The Afflicted's motivation has been clarified.
and TONS AND TONS of little things.

The final draft is down one page to 95 pages. Though I'm considering adding a scene with Danny, so we'll see how it goes. I'm going to read through it one more time to check things, expect it to be mailed out tomorrow (tuesday) night. Sorry it's been slow, but I feel much more confident about the script now than I did before. (And I thought it was pretty awesome before)

Bio y Fundraising Ideas

Bio:

Evan Sayre (Lead Audio, Producer) is known for diving head-first into his projects with a creative approach and extreme motivation. His experience reaches across many strains of audio; from on-set recording to organizing recording time for bands and all aspects of post-production. Instead of being content with just holding a microphone and standing still, Evan has worked very hard in positions such as Lead Audio ("Class of '98"), Audio Post ("White Roses"), and Boom Op for a ghost hunting TV pilot, "Legend Tripping." His passion for sound shows in his determination to make everything sound as good as it looks.

"I'm bringing back the art of audio with a vengence."

Fundraising Ideas:

-There are numerous spots in the script for product placement... the magazine being read on the bus, the iPod (or other willing-to-donate MP3 player) and the band that is being listened to on the MP3 player.
-Along with Adam's idea of news coverage, we could talk to local newspapers and magazines and on top of promotions and interviews, maybe we could could have them come by during the filming? I guess this is more promotion than fundraising...
-Monthly dues for everyone... I know this would really suck but it's what the other company I work with does because they are in the process of getting started. We're not in college anymore and most of us have decent jobs... if we can get just 10 people to throw in $10 a month, over the next 6 months, that's $600. Granted, we will probably spend some personal money on the movie during production, but every little bit counts, right? This could also help fund our test shoot to show to investors.
-eBay scams.
-We should read that book by Bruce Campbell, at least the chapter about how they funded Evil Dead. Sounded like a good idea when we discussed it at the meeting.


Speaking of meetings- when is the next?
