I sent the fourth draft of Red 71 to Patrick today. It came in at 81 pages. I changed the ending - again.

I cheated a bit on the page count. I used Final Draft's tools to 'loosen' the script a bit. It happily added around six pages for me.

I also numbered the scenes. This is the first official 'shooting' script.

Scott sent an email letting me know that he had been added to the Film Alliance meeting to discuss and praise Mercy. He said that Gary Shannon will be recognized for his Best Actor awards and he and Carol Anne both will also be honored for the Accolade awards they won for their work on the film.

He invited me to the meeting. It's on April 30th.

I'd love to go but doubt I have time.
