A. Another post that makes me wonder why some people do crack when they could just follow you. So much great stuff.

B. Good luck!

Brilliant practical and helpful again. I know you won't have time to read this but I hope you become the working class Preston Sturgess. Cheers

Congratulations on your first feature as writer/director. You earned it and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy! I'll miss your Practical Screenwriting blog, tips and musings. If you have time, your experiences with National Anthem (great title - sounds like my kind of movie) would be very welcome.
