Ok
I've always liked movies, feeling connected with the screen and felt a need force based on how much knowing is involved with building studio sets and work for perfect scenes and on and on to etc that reading a chapter in I felt mature enough to finish the whole story. Awesome pov from inside and out that now I'm confident that when I write it's with better intent to getting back the good screen shots I miss. I'm actually thriving to try these easy lessons in scripts.
