Script consultant Diane Wright dropped me a note the other day to say she’s been deluged with scripts and unable to get to “Right of Way” until this coming weekend.
Diane, who promised us a set of notes on our first draft, is dealing with the challenge of blending a free/promotional assignment into a busy work schedule -- something we at the Script Project are quite familiar with.
Don’t worry, Diane, we understand. In fact, I will be addressing the second draft on the same kind of catch-as-catch-can schedule -- beginning when I get your notes.
I’m also doing some thinking about whether I want to handle the next pass by myself or open it up for more group participation and how exactly that would be done. Anyone with any thoughts on this can find me here, as usual.
Meantime, we had our project’s wrap party last week at the Formosa in Hollywood, and it was a total blast. Probably 250 people joined us at one point or another, making it difficult at times to move around. But we persevered.
I managed to thank the writers personally over an underpowered PA system, and the 20 or 30 people standing closest to the speaker seemed quite attentive.
Several people took pictures at the event, and if anyone sends me any good ones, I’ll post them here. Until then, here’s what my co-host Kevin Roderick had to say about the bash.
