The Script is more of a thought experiment or sketch than anything else but it's a wonderfully absurd short clinically designed to skewer the society we live in today. It illuminates many of our hypocrisies and problems and in some way links them to the future collapse of our society. It’s a fantastic original read and I hope to see it up on the screen sometime soon.

2. Story - The story was funny to read as the man slowly slips into insanity, especially at the very end when he receives his package. I personally just wish this script was longer so he could go...
This was a funny concept and funny execution. Besides a few technical issues listed below, the biggest issue was there was no where to take it beyond the current page count. It would make a hysterical video clip but unfortunately nothing more (as far as I can see).

Your logline has Jone's when it should be Jones'

You need to give J...
