It’s also a unique trait, which is an aspect I wish to exploit. There’s a special reason why some folks choose not to be “wired” and it interests me. As revealed in the dialog, Kate uses an anime schoolgirl avatar to circumvent the process; fairly pathetic. She’s revealed to be a naive romantic, who wanted Derek to remain anonymous in a childish attempt to generate a “blind date.” The concept of a blind date is outmoded, which is why I like it: there’s a touch of nostalgia to it that says more about Kate than it does about blind dating itself. She’s an awkward romantic and insecure of her looks.

And to answer Sean’s question of when we shoot, well…I’ll spend the next month on the first draft; then I’ll hire a script doctor to spruce it up; and then I’ll circulate it around the independent studios for a good two years until someone notices; and hopefully by then I will have made five other short films that got recognition; but by then my script would have lapsed into studio property (the good news is they like it enough to have it rewritten as a full feature); they’ll give me the ultimatum of rewriting it myself or directing, but not both; but I’ll be able to cast my choice of actors, with Zach Braff in the lead; though he’d be seven years older by then and I’d have to reconsider.

To answer your question, Sean, I don’t know. It depends on a combination of the economy and who’s currently head of the studios…and a little bit on how fast Zach Braff will age.

Sounds interesting. I love ensemble pieces that collide in the end, and knowing you, or more accurately, your writing, I know it’s going to be good stuff. Good luck

Also, nice song. Totally not my style, but I can picture it. When do we shoot? I’m looking forward to actually shooting something soon.
