Your Stage : Those Two Little Words by Elle Bolan

Elle Bolan

Those Two Little Words

They're my favorite ones to type.

And I just did.

Join me in a booty dance, y'all.

SHIFT is done! We have a first draft. It is drafted.

Woohoo!!

Maurice Vaughan

Congratulations, Elle Bolan! "Those Two Little Words." Movie/show title. Are you going to let your script rest or jump into the rewrites?

Elle Bolan

I'll do a trim pass where I cut repetition or any fluff that snuck in. Then I'll let it rest for a few days. Clarity pass. More rest. Visual pass. Etc. and thanks! I feel like it took me forever to write this movie.

Roberto Micheletti

You mean "THOSE TWO LOVE BIRDS" who always go with one another. Congratulations Elle Bolan

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Elle Bolan. I like that process. I try to let a script rest after finishing the first draft, but sometimes I'm so excited to start the rewrites or I'm on a deadline.

Roberto Micheletti

Maurice Vaughan the temptation of letting your scrip rest or jumping back into some rewrites is real.

Maurice Vaughan

I'd rather let the script rest, Roberto Micheletti. And I like posting pages on social media. I catch story issues and typos that way sometimes. Do you do that?

Bram Christian

Congratulations! (doing the booty dance shouting hooray j your honor)

Elle Bolan

Thanks @Roberto - two love birds indeed. Match meant to be!

Thanks hon.

Elle Bolan

Bram Christian your happy dance is appreciated!

Kevin Hager

What is Shift about?

Elle Bolan

@Kevin Hager - well, it's about violence, in a sense. Particularly, it's about people who develop a violent streak and how they each learn to contain it.

Potential logline: When a traumatic night brings five damaged lives into orbit, an amateur boxer becomes a reluctant ground for people struggling to reign in the violence they were never taught how to live with.

I'm not very happy with that logline as it sits. But it's a work in progress.

Kevin Hager

Well do your best. Maybe it can also involve redemption.

Marie Hatten

I longggggg to type that . Well done Elle Bolan

Minh Nguyen

I am genuinely happy for you, all my best wishes.

Michael Dzurak

Congrats on the first draft! Always a good feeling. Best with the rest!

Roberto Micheletti

Maurice Vaughan no. i haven't posted mine on social media. I also never used to like going through mine before, but now i have actually disciplined myself to check it over again just incase of typos.

Darrell Pennington

Cue the Flashdance theme song....What A Feeling!!!!

Meriem Bouziani

Congratulations—this is such a beautiful moment. Enjoy the momentum. I wish you the best of luck in your pitch session. Make the dream come true.

Elle Bolan

Thanks y'all!
