  • Graham, Thanks for checking it out and yes, as a matter of fact it was written for a stranded producer who had a hospital set booked for a day and his writer flaked out. We were given the location, the protagonist (male, aged 50 or so) and who he had for support. And of course had to keep it to 6 pages (a day's shoot). And it was written in five hours... But the director said he couldn't do justice to the mood I set in just a day's time, so he passed...
