this morning #726.

this morning, they flipped through a sizable stack of scripts, looking for something that’d stick with their bosses but ultimately tossing most of them in a box below their desk. hours of work went into writing each one only for them to be cast off on a whim. at the end of this process, they’d found two standouts. the first was a tale of male role models & toxic masculinity in an insular amish community. oscar material. the other was edgier fare meant mainly for masochists. in the right hands though, it could have “heart.” it could have “depth.” the higher-ups had specifically asked for these things. ten years from now, those of them who were still alive would finally get to see both stories up on screen.
