    • Hi Patrick! Thanks for your comments and your encouragement. I'm working on pages 4,5,6 etc. so hopefully at some point soon there will be a full-length screenplay to read. Thanks again, much appreciated!

    • I love the concept of this screenplay. Reminds me of Inception and Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, but better. I would like to see what happens next and although I did have similar critiques as those mentioned below, I still want to read page 4,5,6 etc. Great start!

    • Wow! Thanks for the amazing review, Judith! What a lovely way to start the day! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it (in fact, I'm somewhat taken aback - but I'll accept the praise!) Seriously, thank you so much for reading it, and many thanks for the recommendation - I really appreciate it. All the best, Andy

    • Thanks for the comments, Sid and Michael - to answer your questions, this script was written for a 2-page short film competition, based on an idea I have for a feature length script. All I can say is your points are valid, but they will be explained/expanded on in the full-length story! I'll post the screenplay on here ASAP. Thanks!

    • I like the mood of this, but I'm not sure I get the ending...is he dead?
