As a writer with no film making experience at all, I am entirely at the mercy of the Producers/Directors who pick up my scripts, and the timescales they work to. And as a perfectly normal person (read irrtational and impatient) I totally expect people to make films from my scripts within the same week they option them ;-) Reality of course dawns early as a writer, things just take a long time, and there's very little you can do - except write some more of course! All of which got me to thinking... maybe I can make something myself, with no experience, no equipment etc etc... But where there's will there's a way, or in my case where there's gadgets and technology then there's an alternative to the traditional! So I made TXT M - http://vimeo.com/92185383 A differnt style of movie (and a little too long in current form), would be great to know what people think of the concept and the film itself. Thanks Anthony

Hi Anthony! Very creative. I do like the story that unfolds, however I think the dialogue/ texts are a little forced and unnatural. That's just my feedback. But overall, very interesting concept. I think there are so many variations you can do with this. Good luck :)
Hey Annika - really appreciate you taking the time to have a watch and provide feedback. I have another couple of ideas that use the same concept so I will look to sharpen the dialogue/txts and hopefully get a more natural feel to them, again many thanks for feedback. Anthony
