Thank you Michael for the insightful feedback you gave me on Swimming Upstream. You answered some questions I had about it for over a year, and your solutions were awesome. I like the direction your notes gives the script and I have drafted a synopsis of the new treatment for it. I also enjoyed listening to your notes on other writers' scripts and felt that you elevated their stories tremendously. While they were all good scripts to begin with, you took them to a higher level and made them into better versions of themselves as you did on mine. You definitely have a gift in finding the heart of a story within the early drafts of a script. Since you gave everyone a new take on their scripts that most likely would make them all more saleable, is there a way that all of us can outline what we would do to improve our scripts based on your notes to get further feedback from you before we go down the rabbit hole of redoing all our scripts? Getting feedback on if you think we successfully captured the notes you gave us before we start rewriting scenes would be phenomenal. Thank you again for this great lab class and I look forward to seeing where this can go next! Also a shout out to Amanda for organizing this class-what a great idea. A shout out to the fellow writers for your encouragement and sharing your talent with the rest of us.
Congratulations on your future projects, Ricki.; I predict that you'll go so far. BTW, do you know any local pro-Bono, or nonprofitable organizations? B/c I'm an avid soap opera/music fan with special needs, and if local screenwriter Brian Edwards fails to come through for me, I'll turn to you for some help. Again, congratulations.
