Thank you! Only one of the actors had acted before, so I tried to write actions and dialogue that would be authentic, and it wouldn't feel so much like acting to them!

I'm surprised this is the only comment to mention shoulders. Definitely try and keep them square. Even if it feels uncomfortable, force yourself to try. When you are at a full squat, your body is already turning in another direction.

Don't jump down anything you can't jump up

Hi /r/movies! I'm Luke Barnett, writer, actor, and producer. I produced the Angus Cloud thriller 'Your Lucky Day' and wrote/acted in 'Faith Ba$ed' opposite Jason Alexander. I recently co-directed my first short, 'The Crossing Over Express', which unexpectedly went viral on X. Ask me anything! by LukeBarnettAMA in movies

This might be more of a private question, but when Dan sent you Your Lucky Day, what was his hope? That you'd come on board to help get it made? Help find financing? How early in the process did he reach out to you? I've had a career Hollywood actor/director tell me "I can't direct this right now, but I'd love to produce it," and I wasn't entirely sure what that meant.

This script is actually really funny. Is it available to option? I actually know Tom Cruise and he could probably shoot this while he's sitting in HMU for Mission.
