Last week I finished the script and couldn’t quite believe it. On the computer my accomplishment didn’t do anything for me but when I printed and bound it I enjoyed a great sense of achievement - not to mention the use of half a ream of paper!
Yep, weighing in at 185 pages it is of course in need of a trim. But rather too many than too few pages. I have an idea where the axe will fall and following a few rereads some cuts will be important to help increase the story’s pace.
So far 3 people have read the script and given me a very warm and honest approval. One, my neighbour, was eager but equally concerned that if she didn’t like it how would she break the news... thankfully she loved it and suggested turning it into a book.
With their comments taken on board I am ready to take out a few unnecessary sections and reduce some of the dialogue.
I am genuinely thrilled and excited at the prospect of turning Compass, the script, into a film.
