I read your script last night. Enjoyed it thoroughly! A part of me wished it was six pages longer so we could see more of Jimmy's relationship with his mother, however it was short, sweet and straight to the point. No time was wasted. The ending was terribly sad, but it's very fitting for the genre. Jimmy's voice over narration is chilling.
