Hi, Barri Evins. Must-read article! Thanks for sharing it! I'm going to check out William Goldman's book Adventures in the Screen Trade.

Shane said, "When you speak at these things, the reason it's so great is you end up blurting out stuff that you didn't know you knew. 'Oh, by trying to explain something to this person, I just explained it to myself!'" It's like that when I talk about my scripts to people. I think that's one reason it's important to not just pitch scripts, but also talk about them to people.

Play Dirty is on my watch list. I'm looking forward to seeing it!
