Great Story - I Loved This!

A review of On the Subject of My Transformation

by micmacmoviemaker on 05/16/2012

Well, the headline says it all. I thought that this was really well done. Dark and twisted with sinister overtones that played well off the non-chalant tone of the main character. This is a great, odd and dark concept that I think would actually play well in an indie feature film. Have you ever thought about expanding it? I would love to steal this idea to flesh out and... read

New Rome York

A review of City of the Past

by micmacmoviemaker on 05/16/2012

Like you, I'm kind of on the fence about this, metaphysically or not. I liked the straight forward, matter-of-fact descriptions but the point of the whole thing was lost on me, which may very well be what the point is. Or not. I don't know. I thought Sneer's (great name) physical description should have come earlier than it did. I don't know what you meant when you said... read

Bloated Skeletons in the Closet

A review of Not My Secret to Tell

by micmacmoviemaker on 05/10/2012

There's some real good stuff here. I liked the set-up and the explanation of the dark secret from what had happened in the past. initially, my first thought was that you should have started the story with the deadly event and then fast forward the ten years to present day. But I realized that learning the secret after it had happened works better. I like the way the old... read

Oops! I am sorry I missed the intent of the line "verbal aphrodisiac." I went back and reread the story and I obviously made a mistake in castigating you over it. But in spite of my bitching about the small stuff, I did give you high marks overall as the story itself was very good.

I hope my review of The Carlisle Indian didn't damage you. The idea behind your script is excellent. The things I disliked about the draft I read were things I thought detracted from your intentions. My BIG on-it was how your lofty ambitions precluded ANY (...so far as I could see) genuine interest in filming it, due to cost considerations. I mean, seriously, twelve THOUSAND extras, and for a film with no Hollywood STAR roles?

Anyway... By some serendipity, last night I saw the documentary REEL INJUN, about how Hollywood has portrayed Indians. It was excellent, and if you haven't seen it I urge you to do so. One of the things that struck me as pertinent to your screenplay is how current filmmakers actually go to elders of the tribe to research and then accurately portray such things as kissing and making love. I can't help but believe you'd find it fascinating, and perhaps helpful.

When you do get a second draft of Carlisle Indian, I'd be happy to read it. You have a seriously more ambitious script than most I've read.

Best of luck!
