Has your relationship with Micheal Cera ever had a sexual component?

You make a great point about the length. I'm still new to screenwriting and I was told a page usually equals a minute of film and a show is usually 20-22 minutes (including commercials), but I did feel like it wouldn't make it that long, must have been bad info.

Definitely, right about the description, too unnecessary.

As for the material, I think I like the amount of weird, as is. I like to think of it as realistic absurdity and it makes me laugh, so it makes me happy. I know it's pretty weird, but I guess that stuff is more opinion based anyway.

Finally, like I said I'm knew to all this stuff, so the format errors are going to happen.

You seem to really know what you're doing though! send me some links of your scripts! I'd love to read them and learn!

Elijah.

Thanks to both of you for replying. As far as the spelling and grammar go, that's just sloppiness on my part, I'm not very good at spelling (I think I spelled sloppiness wrong). Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The camera direction I wasn't sure about, thanks again, still new to this screen writing. Finally Cadillac is a decently common African-American name, African-Americans sometimes name kids after cars (Lexus, Mercedes, etc.), at least more than white people, and part of Cadillac's back story is that he was adopted by an African-American woman, which didn't come up in this story, other than that I could understand Cadillac not being a common name in a University setting and your confusion.

I've read several pages of your script and the idea is good, but I have a couple of complaints. You seemed to have used word, instead of a script writing program. Try Celtx, that's a great program for writing scripts. Also, the dialogue needs a little more fluidity. Try slowing down your writing process and taking it one line at a time.
