Storybookers

Secret read through (Final Draft)

CUT TO: A Writer's Office.

An empty bottle lies on the desk a few awards and trophies are resting on the mantlepiece.

A WRITER, is watching the previous scene on a computer screen.

We HEAR lines from the actors voices.

Their words are shown on the left side of the screen.

A Tom CAT enters and lays across the keyboards.

CAT (sighs in relief)

Finally some one will say out
loud how that scene stinks.

INT: The London Studio

The writer reaches for some chocolate and shoots a glance at the mantelpiece for support.

The actors are clearly grappling with the work.

ACTOR

I'm not sure this works.

INT: The Writers Office

WRITER
No. You are just slow.

CAT tries to write "false epiphany" on the keyboard.

INT: The Writers Office

DIRECTOR

Improv the intention

See if it sells.

The actors try the improv. They are laughing. In a good way. They begin praising a few killer lines written in the script.

INT: The Writers Office Moments later

WRITER

(blows out sharply)

Impressive work

Storybookers.

The writer gets up and starts dusting the trophies. The Golf Pub Quiz 2005 begins to gleam.

Writer (CONT)

I get to feel I've been on a journey,

grown as a writer

and found resolution.

The writer, in a flurry of inspiration, sets back to work.
