The Talkies

I expanded my list of freelance services to reading screenplays for a well-known film fest in Europe. I think that due in part to my lack of qualifications and my hatred for movies, I've had some shitty scripts flung in my direction.


I heaved a sigh after reading the character description, expecting Brokeback Redux, but within a page, the tone changed and a conflict was introduced:

I guess so. The cues were written with poetic precision, really allowing me to picture the mise-en-scène.

Ultimately, the characters continue their search for the fartless heifer in the promise land.

I'll keep you wondering about the ending! No spoilers!
