The completed draft of this short is thirteen pages. With the two appendices, it's seventeen. If I can make it without letting anyone read it, I will. The name of the script is The Outlaw Son, although I should probably add a Prelude or a Pt. One or something to that since I've wanted and will want again to make a feature along the same lines with the same title.
So today is pretty much the day. Twenty four hours from now I'll be in a dark theater, halfway through a film I've waited all my life and ten hours in line to see. I won't be reviewing it, of course. I will, perhaps, probably, make some deliriously ecstatic update around four in the morning, before we head across the metroplex to see the it again at a different theater.
I'll stop now, before this post turns deliriously ecstatic and I say something silly like how I wish this film was in competition at Cannes so it could win the Palme d'Or because Emir Kusturica is totally crazy enough to do something like that, right?
