Maurice, go for it. I am a huge proponent for using what I'll term "Feature Film Style" when writing my animated screenplays.
Jamie Sutliff, thank you for the love. It looks like we share the same four passions.
Sandra Isabel Correia, thanks for the love, much appreciated! You're bio is impressive and best of luck in the development of Seeing Rachel.
Elmare Hendricks, thank you for the love, greatly appreciated. Belated congrats on last year's 48 hour film win!
Pat Savage, thank you for the love, most appreciated. Just like you, I caught the film bug at an early as well; and when my mentor left to study at the USC film program (a converted horse barn, I'm told at the time) he gave me his Brownie 8mm camera.
